Why you should go: Not only do these guided vacations allow you to experience many of the highlights of the Iberian Peninsula, but they also include culturally immersive activities—think tapas tastings and a flamenco dinner in Spain, or sampling port in Portugal. Plus, you'll be accompanied every step of the way by an expert guide, allowing you to simply focus on enjoying your trip.

What's the big deal? Starting at $1599 per person (including roundtrip international flights, 4-star hotels, tours & activities), these offers from Escapes by Globus save up to $880 when compared to similar packages. No matter which trip you choose, you'll also get daily breakfast, select dinner with wine and dedicated transportation via a hired motor coach. Depart on select dates in November-January from New York City (EWR, JFK or LGA), Chicago (ORD or MDW), Los Angeles (LAX) or San Francisco (SFO). Departures from 35 additional airports start at $100 more.
