�We are excited to have Abreu�s support,� said Eduardo Souto Moura, Managing Director of AICEP Portugal Global. �With Abreu offices in the major tourist centers of Madrid, Barcelona, Costa del Sol, Lisbon, Madeira, and the Azores, there�s no doubt we�ll have some of the most competitive travel offerings available on our site.�

In support of the partnership, Abreu Tours created a new tour for the upcoming winter season. �The Highlights� is a 9 day/ 7 nights tour of Lisbon and Barcelona with prices starting at only $748 per person (land only). The tour includes 4 nights in Lisbon, 3 in Barcelona, first class hotels, round trip transfers and sightseeing in each city. A package with airfare is also available, starting at $1,157 per person (plus airport taxes/fuel surcharges).

�There�s been a significant shift in how today�s consumers make their travel purchases,� said Javier Piñanes, Director of Tourist Office of Spain. �Now, not only will consumers be able to obtain the most comprehensive information on Portugal and Spain, they�ll have access to the best travel deals.�

�Our alliance was a natural fit, since Abreu has been promoting the two countries to American travelers for over 30 years in the USA,� said João F. D�Andrade, Director of Abreu Tours, Inc. �In addition, we are expanding our presence in Spain with new receptive departments in Madrid, Costa del Sol and Barcelona to complement our offices in Lisbon, the Algarve, Madeira and Azores islands. With the new PortugalSpainBoth.com website we not only have a site highlighting both countries, but also the support of both tourist offices � which is invaluable.�
