JAYWAY TRAVEL SPOTLIGHTS SPAIN AND PORTUGAL FOR FALL TRAVEL

New York, NY (October 1, 2026) – Spain and Portugal are taking center stage for fall travel as JayWay Travel spotlights custom journeys that combine the neighboring countries in one seamless trip. The itineraries bring together the Iberian Peninsula’s celebrated cities, culinary traditions, coastlines and cultural experiences, while giving travelers the flexibility to experience both countries at their own pace.

With the peak summer travel period behind them, fall brings milder temperatures and a more relaxed pace across the region. In Spain, autumn ushers in seasonal food traditions and harvest celebrations, while in Portugal, September and October coincide with the grape harvest in many parts of the country and the Douro Valley takes on its autumn colors.

“Spain and Portugal are two countries that make even more sense when you experience them together, and fall is an especially rewarding time to do it,” said Jay Ternavan, founder of JayWay Travel. “The pace changes in the fall. You can spend an afternoon getting lost in a neighborhood, stay longer over lunch and really experience the culture of each place. There is a natural flow between the two countries, but each has such a distinct personality, and that contrast is what makes the journey so memorable.”

JayWay offers a range of customizable Spain and Portugal itineraries that can serve as a starting point for each traveler’s trip. Options include an eight-day journey connecting Lisbon and Barcelona; the 13-day Coastal Cities of Spain & Portugal itinerary through Barcelona, San Sebastián, Porto and Lisbon; and Iberian Impressions, connecting Barcelona, Madrid, Porto and Lisbon. Travelers with more time can choose the 15-day Best of the Iberian Peninsula itinerary, which travels through Barcelona, Porto, Lisbon, Seville and Madrid.

Each itinerary can be customized around the destinations, accommodations and experiences that matter most to the traveler, from food and wine experiences and cultural tours to beaches, historic sites and time to explore independently.

Rather than treating the border as the end of one vacation and the beginning of another, JayWay plans Spain and Portugal as one connected journey. The company coordinates accommodations, transportation between destinations, tours and experiences, with expert trip planners helping travelers shape the itinerary before departure and local support available throughout the trip.
