For those with more time, consider extending your stay in Portugal to explore the Algarve coast or adding more days in Andalusia for deeper cultural immersion. Conversely, you can shorten the itinerary to 5 or 6 days by focusing on either Spain (Madrid and Seville) or Portugal (Lisbon and Porto) exclusively, which allows for a more relaxed pace without the extensive travel between countries.
