The beaches find their calm again, and the sun softens to make way for a magical indian summer break. It’s a rare moment suspended between two seasons, where the golden sunsets set light to the sea and the fields of wheat. In September, take the wheel and follow us for a road trip through the colors of an indian summer between Portugal and Spain. Wander the newly calm alleyways of Lisbon. Then, horseback ride on the golden beach of Comporta and surf the waves of Algarve. Take a detour through Spain’s Malaga and Ibiza; and extend the sweetness of summer for a moment more.
