Itinerary

  • Vigo... sample delicious seafood paella, visit the Art Museum, or head to the 17th-century hilltop Castro Fortress for awe-inspiring views over the coastline.
  • Gibraltar... this stop offers a combination of British charm and Spanish and Mediterranean influences. You could enjoy a pub lunch of fish and chips in exotic surroundings, complete with Barbary monkeys.
  • Malaga... the birthplace of Picasso is one of Spain's most cultured cities. It's home to the hilltop citadels, art galleries, and trendy tapas bars close to a sandy beach along a palm-fringed promenade. 
  • Cadiz... this Andalucian city is one of the oldest continuously inhabited settlements in Europe. Think swaying palms, whitewashed buildings, and a beautiful, yellow-domed cathedral. 
  • Matosinhos, Portugal... explore the coastal architecture of Leça da Palmeira, then feast on a seafood lunch at a traditional local restaurant.
