Autumn is an ideal time to admire nature and, more specifically, forests and vineyards, which are tinged with beautiful colors. It is actually a great time to do entourism, and not only for Spain, but also for Portugal, a country with a great wine tradition, which offers wines of excellent quality that have been recognized throughout the world, winning numerous awards and prizes.
