Detailed Itinerary
Lisbon, Portugal
A glorious mosaic of beauty, freedom, and authenticity, Portugal's capital is a stirring artwork of a city. Known for the seven hills it spreads across, and its stirring fado music, Lisbon is a pastel-colored blend of houses and beautiful tile artworks - and this creative city strikes a perfect harmony between natural and manmade beauty. Stroll along Alfama's steep, cobbled streets as you explore one of the city's oldest neighborhoods - where each house and door could be its own photograph. Look for the decorative tiles, with the distinctive blues and whites of Azulejo ceramics, and visit the dedicated museum to learn more. Afterward, wind up to São Jorge Castle, where views out across Lisbon's red rooftops unravel. Just one of many majestic viewpoints, you can also seek out Miradouro da Graça for perhaps Lisbon's finest panorama, with the copper-colored suspension bridge stretching over sparkling water beyond the sea of buildings. The elegant Tower of Belém rises in the Tagus estuary and is a historic defender of these shores. The grand, carved cloisters of Jerónimos Monastery spread out close by, and there's another UNESCO-recognized location close by at Sintra, where a colorful town is set amid thick gardens and towering mountains - capped by the royal Pena Palace. Later, relax and take a quick break to drink Ginjinha, a cherry liqueur made from chocolate cups instead of coffee. Lisboetas have a sweet tooth, and the famous Pastel de Nata's crumbling pastry and caramelized custard topping is the essential accompaniment to any coffee stop.
Portimão, Portugal
Sprawl out and relax across thick wedges of glorious, golden sands, in Portugal’s sun-worshipping paradise. Portimão is a beachy heaven and a perfect encapsulation of the Algarve’s Atlantic appeals, offering easy access to the wonderful Praia da Rocha. Head straight for the long and wide expanse of this famous beach, where you can kick back and enjoy soft, honey-colored sands and gentle waves rolling ashore. A spectacular and spacious sandy expanse – located at the point where the Arade River unloads into the Atlantic – relax, or wander the wooden boardwalk to a string of neighboring beaches, as you explore among dramatic, tank-like rock formations. Taste juicy hauls of sardines, cooked over open fires, with glasses of wine pressed from the vineyards nearby - as you lavish under the sunshine of the Algarve’s prime holiday region. Surrounded by offbeat fishing villages, stunning coastlines, and quaintly tiled old towns, there is a rich medley of life, culture, and flavors to indulge in. Attractive mosaics pattern the scenic Ribeirinha promenade, breathing new life into Portimão’s rugged old docks, and creating a charming riverside stroll that leads to the showpiece beach. Elsewhere, the arches and sea-eroded limestone stacks of the monumental Ponta da Piedade coastline are close by, or you can make for Silves, a historical former capital of the Kingdom of the Algarve, crowned with a soaring sandy castle. The Moorish trading outpost of Lagos is also within reach, where you can visit a coastline dotted with gaping sea caves, set below crumbling coastal fortresses.
Cádiz, Spain
More than a hundred watchtowers gaze out across the waves surrounding this ancient Andalusian city. Sprinkled with evocative cobbled side streets, you'll explore 3,000 years' worth of history, while stumbling across palm-tree-lined plazas of shaded coffee sippers. Cádiz claims the mantle of Western Europe's oldest city, and every piece of architecture - and every wrong turn - offers a chance to discover fascinating new tales. Founded by the Phoenicians in 1100 BC, Christopher Columbus used the city as a base for his exploratory, map-defining voyages of 1493 and 1502. The port grew in importance and wealth as Cadiz's strategic location close to Africa's northern tip helped it blossom into a center for New World trade. Catedral de Cádiz, is a display of the city's wealth and importance, looming spectacularly over the Atlantic's waves, with cawing seagulls sweeping between its twin bell towers. Inside, treasures from the city's trading exploits in the West Indies and beyond - which helped fuel the growth of this historically prosperous city - are on display. Enveloped by ocean on almost every side, Cadiz has something of an island feel, and you can cool off from southern Spain's unrelenting sunshine on the sweeping golden sand beach of Playa Victoria. The two towers of the new El Puente de la Constitución de 1812 mark a contemporary landmark in this most ancient of cities, in the form of a spectacular new road bridge. Torre Tavira, meanwhile, is the most famous of Cádiz's army of watchtowers, and the highest point in the city. Reach the top for a view of the ocean fringing the city's expanse, and to learn about the towers - constructed so trading merchants could survey the harbor from their lavish homes. The Central Market is a chaotic place of bartering, where flashing knives dissect fresh fish. Stop in at the orbiting bars to enjoy tapas, freshly prepared with the market's produce.

Day at sea
Days at sea are the perfect opportunity to relax, unwind, and catch up with what you've been meaning to do. So whether that is going to the gym, visiting the spa, whale-watching, catching up on your reading, or simply topping up your tan, these blue sea days are the perfect balance to busy days spent exploring shoreside.
Cartagena (Spain) , Spain
On the crossroads of mighty cultures, this Murcian port has endless ancient stories to share. A valuable natural harbor attracted many civilizations to this sun-bathed, southeasterly setting - following its foundation by the Carthaginians in 227 BC. Blending the imprints left by countless cultures on this global junction, the presence of everyone from the Vandals to the Phoenicians and Moors can be felt as you explore, walking between ruins and celebrated modernist architecture along Calle Mayor. Cartagena is crowned by the soaring Castillo de la Concepcion - rise to the stout castle aboard a panoramic lift. Inside, look through reams of archaeological treasures, or admire the rolling views down over the port and across the waters. Watch out for the electric blue peacocks who strut flamboyantly. Cartagena's emergence as a visitor destination coincided with a stunning discovery in 1988 - the bowl of a gloriously preserved Roman Theater. Enter to sit among the grandiose ancient venue, so evocative, you can't help but imagine the historic performances that have graced its stage. Wander the breezy waterfront, looking across the narrow strait towards Africa's distant haze, and spotting gleaming warships. Cartagena's perfect harbor means it has been one of Spain's oldest strategic navy positions since the 16th century. Settle to enjoy the joys of tapas in lively bars - sampling crisped paella, squid and honeyed-eggplant. Easter's Semana Santa festivities are typically lively here, as hooded processions, lavish floats, and somber fiery displays roll through the streets.

Gibraltar, Gibraltar
A curious slice of Britain - picked up and plonked into the sun, sea, and sand of southern Spain - Gibraltar is a unique and historic peninsula, crowned by the iconic Rock of Gibraltar mountain. Bright red phone boxes gleam, Union Jacks flutter in the breeze, and cones of fish and chips are scoffed in the sun in this most British of outposts. At times a surreal and strange juxtaposition, you can be gazing at the African shoreline from the beach one moment, and carefully treading across the runway of a crammed-in international airport the next. Gibraltar's cathedral-like Rock towers 400 meters above the waves and the stark limestone mountain watches out across a narrow, strategic strait between the European and African continents. The pointed Rock is a symbol of this unique place, and you can hike it - or take the convenient cable car - to enjoy the views and meet the mischievous colony of Barbary macaques who live on its slopes. Europe's only wild monkeys roam free and loose on the mountain - so be sure to hang onto your sunglasses and cameras. The Siege Tunnels bring to life the struggles for this land, with the plucky British boring tunnels through the rock by hand, effectively converting it into a giant watchtower, capable of defending the distant territory. Natural caves inside droop with stalactites, while a squat Moorish castle stands proudly at its summit. Gibraltar packs a lot into this two-and-a-half square miles of territory, which has fallen under British jurisdiction since 1713. Grand Casemates Square is a sunbathed plaza, and drizzly old Britain feels a world away, as you sit back and sip ice-cold beers and cocktails in Gibraltar's historic center.

Malaga (Costa del Sol), Spain
Bathing in the Sunshine Coast's stunning subtropical climate, and laying out endless spectacular beaches, it's no surprise that Malaga is one of Spain's most popular cities. The already impressive cultural appeal of this holiday city has skyrocketed over recent years, and with a storied old town and Moorish fortifications, Malaga has a lot to offer. Nearby, you can recline on the renowned beaches of the Costa del Sol, or venture inland to discover the Moorish treasures of Granada and Cordoba. La Malagueta beach is Malaga's spacious urban beach, perfect for a sunbathe and a dip in the warm water, before enjoying seaside cocktails or seafood tapas in the restaurants nearby. Malaga and the Costa del Sol may be best known for glorious weather and beaches, but Malaga can now stake a genuine claim as an artistic powerhouse too. Visit the renowned Picasso museum - housed in the artist's birthplace - before exploring the freshly opened outpost of the Pompidou Centre. The art also spills out onto the streets in the colorful Soho district - splashed with vibrant street paintings. Known as La Manquita - or the one-armed woman - the city's cathedral rises over the historic old town. Its huge bell tower stands tall, but an accompanying second tower was never completed - hence the nickname. The Alcazaba fortress palace looms over the waterfront and forms a spectacularly preserved remnant from the era when the Moors controlled the Andalusia region. Discover more of the Arabic influence by visiting Granada's Alhambra palace, or Cordoba's La Mezquita mosque. Together with Seville's converted cathedral, the cities form Andalusia's Golden Triangle of Moorish wonders.

Shore Excursions
Cádiz, Spain
A Guided Stroll in Cadiz
XRY-JCádiz is the Iberian Peninsula's oldest continuously-inhabited city and lies on a narrow spit of land, surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea. Walking Tour, Plaza de España, 19th-century Palaces, Cathedral This comprehensive program is entirely on foot from the pier. Your guided stroll begins at Plaza de España, near the port. As with most other Cádiz squares, the nearby Plaza de la Mina, was formerly a large vegetable garden belonging to the San Francisco Convent. You will stroll past the exterior of the Museum, which contains three sections, including an important archaeological exhibit. While strolling Calle Ancha (Wide Street), you will view several handsome 19th-century Palaces. Nearby, San Juan de Dios Square is protected by seawalls and features a unique marble fountain. But perhaps the Town Hall is the building that best reflects the grace and style of the city. After a 40-minute visit to the interior of the impressive Cádiz Cathedral, you may either walk back to the pier or remain in town to continue exploring at your leisure. Full participation requires being in good physical condition and may involve inclines, steps, uneven surfaces, and/or extended periods of standing.

Arcos de la Frontera
XRY-LDepart from Cadiz and enjoy a 75-minute motorcoach ride to the peaceful Pueblo Blanco of Arcos de la Frontera, perched high in the hilltops of the Cadiz Sierras.

The Gothic Cathedral he built remains on its high ridge and is known for its ten bells, which tolled throughout the war with the Moors. Several Moorish banners were taken in the nearby battle of Zahara and have been on display in a church in Arcos since 1483.

Scenic Cádiz & Flamenco
XRY-HIn the early 16th century, Cádiz served as a launching point for the journey to the newly discovered lands of America. Later raided by Sir Francis Drake, in the struggle to gain control of trade with the New World, the city managed to withstand a siege by Napoleon's army. In the early 19th century it became the bastion of Spain's anti-monarchist, liberal movement, as a result of which the country's first Constitution was declared here in 1812. Some of the city's 18th century walls still stand and the old, central quarter is famous for its picturesque charm. Depart the port area on your motor coach for an approximate 1-hour panoramic drive through the city. Old Town The old city looks quite Moorish in appearance and is intriguing with narrow cobbled streets opening onto small squares where the golden cupola of the cathedral looms high above long white houses. Get to know the Parque Genoves, one of the major areas of greenery of the town. Between the Parque Genoves and the attractive Caleta Beach you will find the Castillo of Santa Catalina, which is formed by the remains of the old canal that once crossed Cádiz. Pass by the 18th Century Baroque and neo-classical Cathedral. It has a dome of yellow tiles, which forms the chief landmark of the city. See also the old tobacco factory and the Town Hall in the Plaza de San Juan de Dios. Exit the bus at the Plaza de España, where you will see a fine monument to the first Spanish constitution of 1812. Flamenco Performance After a short walk you arrive at the flamenco tavern "La Cava", the setting for tapas and an authentic flamenco performance. This is a traditional tavern with a distinctive flamenco feel to its decoration and furnishings; the design is in wood, glass and wrought iron. Flamenco is the music of Spanish gypsies, influenced by both Western and Moorish sources. Sit back and drink in a traditional performance of its staccato, balletic dances, its haunting ballads and its fiery guitar music. Excursions are at an easy pace without the need for excessive walking or physical activities. Being able to board buses and negotiate steps that may be encountered Tours recommended for guests who are able to walk short distances, who can navigate the steps of a bus and at venues, and/or who travel with a standard size manual collapsible wheelchair or scooter (able to fit in the luggage compartment of the bus).

Seville!
XRY-BExperience the splendid beauty and architecture of Seville during a full-day sightseeing excursion to this historic city. Few cities in Spain can rival the charm of Seville. Carmen, Don Giovanni and the Barber of Seville are just a few among the many artistic works that were inspired by this traditional Andalusian town. Founded by Julius Caesar, Seville later became the capital of the Moorish Empire and the highlight of the Spanish Renaissance. Depart the pier for the scenic, approximately 75-mile (120-kilometre) drive to Seville, with a comfort stop made en route. Upon arrival, begin with a sightseeing drive through the city then continue with a walking tour through the historic centre. Seville, Alcazar During your guided tour of the Mudejar-styled Reales Alcazares, explore its lavish courts, apartments and gardens. Christian kings erected this palace, modelled after the Alhambra in Granada, in the 14th century to replace the original palace built by Moorish rulers in 1181. Continue to Seville's famed landmark, a 270-foot (81-metre) weathervane tower known as 'La Giralda'. The tower is all that remains of a former mosque. From here, proceed to the Seville Cathedral. Seville Cathedral Construction on this magnificent Cathedral started in the early 1400s, and took more than a century to complete. The interior of the Cathedral features splendid works of art, and contains the tombs of the Spanish monarchs and Christopher Columbus. Leaving the Cathedral, proceed for a visit to Seville's Old Jewish Quarter. Old Quarter King Fernando III forced Jews to live in this former ghetto, known as 'Barrio de Santa Cruz'. Whitewashed houses line narrow, winding alleys and the walls of picturesque courtyards burst with brilliant flowers. Today, many of the buildings house souvenir shops, art galleries and cafés. Next, you have approximately 1.5 hours leisure time for shopping and lunch on your own at one of the area's many restaurants before re-boarding your coach for a drive exiting Seville. After passing by Plaza America, a photo stop is made at the Plaza de España, a monumental square built for the 1929 World's Fair Plaza, before returning to the pier.

The Caminito del Rey has an itinerary that will lead you across the heart of Desfiladero de los Gaitanes (Gaitanes Ravine). The gorge is famous for the walkway - not for the faint hearted which hangs 100m above the base of the gorge. The past provided access to a hydro-electric system and took its name from an official visit by Alfonso XIII of Spain in 1921.

Málaga Highlights
AGP-AExplore the splendid landmarks, attractions and architecture of the capital of the Costa del Sol during this scenic, half-day visit to Málaga, a historic and culturally rich provincial capital which has long lived in the shadow of the iconic Andalucian cities of Granada, Córdoba and Seville. Yet, it has rapidly emerged as the province's city of culture with its so-called 'mile of art' being compared to Madrid, and its dynamism and fine dining to Barcelona. Depart the pier for the approximate 30-minute sightseeing drive along Alameda Boulevard en route to the hilltop location of Gibralfaro. Gibralfaro As you walk along the ramparts crowning the 560-foot (168-metre) summit, take in splendid views over the city, the harbour and the bullring. Afterward, re-board the coach for the drive back down to the city centre. Alcazaba From City Hall, take a brief walk to the Alcazaba. At the foot of this ancient fortress, view the excavated ruins of a Roman amphitheatre. The restored Alcazaba dates back to the 11th century, when the king of Granada ordered the fortress built and modelled on the style of the Alhambra. After the Christian conquest, the Catholic kings took over the Alcazaba, and King Philip IV used it as his Málaga residence. Leaving the Alcazaba, your walk continues on to the cathedral. Cathedral The cathedral's splendid interior is highlighted by exquisitely-carved choir stalls, and other fine examples of Spanish Renaissance sculpture. Following your visit, some free time is made available to explore the surrounding area before re-boarding your coach for the drive back to the pier.

Museo Picasso Málaga was created in response to Pablo Picasso's own desire for his work to be present in the city where he was born on October 25, 1881. The museum was created thanks to Christine and Bernard Ruiz-Picasso, the artist's daughter-in-law and grandson, whose donations constitute the core of the collection. It was also made possible thanks to the efforts of the Junta de Andalucía, which coordinated the major project of setting up a museum devoted to the artist whose styles and techniques changed the course of modern art.

Spectacular Historic Ronda
AGP-FIndulge your senses with the spectacular beauty of Andalusia without the crowds typically found in coastal resorts during this full-day visit to charismatic Ronda. The city is famous worldwide for its dramatic escarpments and views, and for the deep El Tajo gorge that carries the rio Guadalevín through its centre. Depart the pier for the scenic, approximate 2-hour drive to Ronda. En route, proceed inland and through the scenic Serrania Mountain region. Ronda Ronda's cultural background combines Moorish influence with Christian Spanish remains. However, most visitors come here because of Ronda's unique setting in which two parts of the town come together astride the breath-taking 300-foot-deep (90-metre) Tajo Gorge. The gorge's steep cliffs plunge into the Guadalevin River ravine. It was this near-impregnable location that kept Ronda in Muslim hands until 1485, when Catholic kings finally conquered it. Upon arrival, see the 13th-century Almocabar Gate, which provided access to the castle, town and the 16th-century Carlos V Gate. Bullring Your walking tour commences along the ring road towards the bullring, which dates back to the Catholic kings and is recognised as the oldest bullring in Spain. From here, pass through the Paseo Blas Infante for a spectacular panoramic vista over the Tajo Gorge, then proceed towards Plaza España across the 18th-century New Bridge, whose central part was formerly used as a prison and is today the symbol of the town. Bosco House A stop is made for a visit the Salesian San Juan Bosco House, which is renowned for its beautiful ceramics and gardens, and excellent views to the other side of the Tajo Gorge. Next, continue past the House of the Moorish Kings, the 18th-century Palace of the Marquis of Salvatierra and the well-preserved Arab baths that date from the 13th century.
