The border between Portugal and Spain provides a natural theme for a classic-car journey. For its 2027 programme, Vintage Tours proposes a six-day route through Alentejo and Extremadura, using MGA Roadsters from its own fleet.
This is an organised touring holiday, with no competitive classification. The aim is to connect roads and historic towns while allowing time for visits and overnight stops.
A round trip from Arraiolos
The announced route starts in Arraiolos and visits Estremoz and Marvão before crossing into Spain. Cáceres, Mérida and Zafra form the Extremadura section. Back in Portugal, the journey links Monsaraz, Vila Viçosa and Évora before returning to its starting point.
The programme combines Portuguese Pousadas with Spanish Paradores. The accompanying photograph shows an MGA beside Monsaraz, one of the planned stops and an illustration of the setting the itinerary seeks out.
A classic as a travelling companion
Using the operator’s fleet makes the experience possible without bringing a privately owned car to the Iberian Peninsula. Guests should nevertheless establish the driving requirements, conditions of use and included services before booking.
Six days describes the advertised duration, not a single fixed departure. Anyone considering the tour should confirm the 2027 calendar and the details of their chosen departure directly with Vintage Tours. Its appeal lies in combining heritage with time behind the wheel at a touring, rather than competitive, pace.
