Itinerary
Day 1
Day 1
Barcelona
Depart 17:00
Barcelona is the city where Roman history, Gothic grandeur, and Gaudí's delirious Modernisme collide in a Mediterranean coastal capital of astonishing energy and beauty. The Sagrada Família — still under construction after 140 years — continues its audacious ascent toward completion, while the Gothic Quarter's Roman-era foundations and the Passeig de Gràcia's extraordinary concentration of Modernisme masterpieces reward days of exploration. For a complete sensory experience, lose an afternoon in the covered labyrinth of La Boqueria market before descending to the waterfront for Catalan seafood at its finest. May through June and September through October offer the most pleasant weather; the city connects directly to Paris by overnight train.
Day 2
Day 2
Ibiza
Arrive 11:00Depart 23:00
Beneath Ibiza's sun-drenched reputation as the world's clubbing capital lies a layered history stretching back to Phoenician traders who settled this Balearic island in 654 BC. The UNESCO-listed Dalt Vila — the walled hilltop citadel above Eivissa town — rewards exploration with Carthaginian burial grounds, Renaissance ramparts, and sweeping Mediterranean panoramas. For quieter pleasures, the crystalline coves of the island's north, such as Cala d'en Serra and Es Portitxol, rival any beach in Europe. The Phoenician necropolis of Puig des Molins is unmissable for history devotees. The season runs May through October, with June and September offering ideal weather without peak-summer crowds.
Day 3
Day 3
Alicante
Arrive 08:00Depart 17:00
Alicante, a historic port city on Spain's Costa Blanca, captivates visitors with its rich history, stunning architecture, and vibrant culinary scene. Must-do experiences include savoring traditional paella by the seaside and exploring the bustling Mercado Central. The best time to visit is during the spring or early fall when the weather is pleasantly warm and the city is alive with festivities.

Day 5
Malaga
Arrive 07:00Depart 21:00
Málaga distils three thousand years of Mediterranean civilisation into one of Andalusia's most compelling port cities, where the Moorish Alcazaba fortress surveys a modern waterfront of elegant promenades and sun-drenched café terraces. Do not leave without visiting the Museo Picasso — the artist was born here in 1881 — and ascending to the ruined Castillo de Gibralfaro for panoramic views stretching to the Rif Mountains of Morocco on clear days. Malagueta anchovies fried in olive oil and the sweet Pedro Ximénez-laced dessert wine are the city's defining pleasures. The shoulder seasons of April, May, and October offer perfect Mediterranean warmth.
Day 6
Day 6
Tangier
Arrive 08:00Depart 18:00
Tangier is Morocco's storied gateway between Africa and Europe, a city of Phoenician origins where a whitewashed medina, vibrant souks, and a cosmopolitan waterfront converge at the Strait of Gibraltar. Visitors should not miss savouring traditional pastilla in a rooftop riad and exploring the Kasbah's amber-lit ramparts at sunset. The ideal season to arrive is April through June or September through October, when mild Mediterranean temperatures and fewer crowds allow the city's layered beauty to reveal itself at an unhurried, luxurious pace.

Lisbon
