You haven't visited yet Italy it seems, so consider also it in your next trips. My first suggestion is that 15 days are not enough for both Spain and Portugal. There are many things to see and visit. Portugal, as you know, is the smallest and the cheaper one. I had in Portugal a really good time and it was really really cheap. Both food and hotels were really inexpensive (and consider that italian lira is always down compared to every currency!). The prices in Spain have risen and now it is almost like in Italy. Feel free to ask me more questions if you need.

I've only experienced Iberia and it is like Alitalia or Air France.
