I've never been to Portugal and have a very limited experience of Spain. It seems obvious then to undertake a fairly comprehensive exploration of them both. As with the other tours, the route outlined below is merely a guide...I'll give myself the freedom to go here, there or anywhere whilst I'm touring - especially if locals advise me to do as such or research prior to departure throws up something of particular, or perculiar interest.

I spent some time in Granada (a wonderfully attractive and diversely influenced city) on a trip to see a special señorita in my life. The 32hrs of sitting on a coach (the story will get out there at some point in a Transmission) was very much worth it...despite the fact that my introduction to the new Millenium turned out to be reasonably herendous - which means it eventually became just another funny story!
There are two villas in Portugal which belong to family friends which I'd love to check out...not to mention a municipality which was supposedly the second home of hoaxer I encountered over the internet - that particular tale is deserved of screenplay (I've already outlined it with the working title of 'Cupcakes'). More on that, and other life events another time.
