Roughly, in order. Dates will firm up as we go.
Paris — April 2026
The opener. Three weeks-ish, with side trips to Coye-la-Forêt, Amiens, Senlis, and a Sunday at the abbey.
Barcelona — late April 2026
Then south.
The Algarve — late April through early May 2026
Ten days based in Portimão — beaches, hikes, the Benagil caves, and apartment-hunting.
Lisbon — home base, May 2026 onward
The apartment we keep coming back to. The legs below all depart from here.
Azores — July 2026
A few days in the middle of the Atlantic.
Ireland — Early August 2026
Iceland — a few days to a week leading up to August 12, 2026

Back to Lisbon — through 2027
Open-ended from here. Day trips, slower travel, and whatever the rest of the year asks for.
