Itinerary
Day 1
Day 1
Malaga
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 2
Day 2
Tangier
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.
Day 3
Day 3
Seville
Seville’s port is a vibrant gateway to Andalusia, steeped in history and cultural richness. Don’t miss the chance to indulge in local tapas and experience a traditional flamenco performance. The best time to visit is during the spring, when the city bursts into life with festivals and pleasant weather.
Day 5
Day 5
Portimao
Portimão is the Algarve's most storied port city, where Phoenician trading heritage meets golden-cliff beaches and Portugal's finest grilled sardine tradition along the Arade River. Visitors should not miss the charcoal-grilled sardines at the riverside churrasqueiras and the dramatic sandstone formations of Praia da Rocha. The port is at its luminous best from May through October, when long Atlantic days bathe the coastline in honeyed light and the August Sardine Festival electrifies the waterfront.
Day 6
Day 6
Lisbon
Lisbon, Portugal's enchanting capital, stands out for its rich history, stunning architecture, and vibrant culture. Must-try experiences include savoring local dishes like bacalhau à brás and pastéis de nata at Mercado da Ribeira. The best time to visit is during the spring or fall, when the weather is mild and the city is alive with festivals and events.
Day 7
Day 7
Leixoes
Leixões is the cruise port for Porto — UNESCO's dramatic river city where 20,000 azulejo tiles line a railway station, port wine lodges offer centuries of vintage tastings, and the Ribeira district cascades to the Douro in granite-and-tile splendor. Visit June via Celebrity or Ambassador Cruise Line for the São João festival and authentic Porto character.
Day 8
Day 8
Ferrol
Ferrol is Galicia's Enlightenment-planned naval city, where geometric eighteenth-century streets and the Spanish Navy's historic arsenal overlook one of the Atlantic's most perfectly protected natural harbors. Visit May through October via Ambassador Cruise Line or Scenic for the Barrio de la Magdalena's architectural precision, percebes and pulpo á feira from Galicia's extraordinary kitchen, and the Atlantic Spain that few travelers discover.
Day 9
Day 9
Aviles
Aviles is Asturias' oldest documented town, where a medieval arcaded old quarter coexists with Oscar Niemeyer's striking modern cultural centre on the reinvented waterfront of this former industrial port. Must-dos include the Centro Niemeyer, tasting fabada asturiana and traditionally poured sidra, and walking the golden beach at Salinas. Visit June through September for the mildest weather on Spain's green northern coast.
Day 10
Day 10
Bilbao
Bilbao is the Basque Country's cultural capital, where Frank Gehry's iconic Guggenheim Museum anchors a city transformed from industrial port to world-class destination. Visitors should not miss the pintxo bars of the Casco Viejo and the extraordinary Michelin-starred dining scene, alongside the museum's titanium splendor. The ideal months to visit are May through October, when mild Atlantic weather bathes the city in soft light perfect for exploring its riverside promenades and nearby Rioja wine country.
Day 11
Day 11
Bordeaux
Bordeaux, France's premier port city, is renowned for its historical significance, stunning architecture, and world-class wine. Must-do experiences include savoring local delicacies at Marché des Quais and exploring the breathtaking art installations at Place de la Bourse. The best season to visit is during the late spring and early autumn, when the weather is pleasant and the vineyards are in full bloom.
