Day by Day Summary and Map

Day 1 - Sunday - Apr 30, 2023
Malaga, Spain
Malaga, Spain     Depart: 6:00 pm
The Spanish city of Malaga along the Mediterranean's Costa del Sol combines the simple, cosmopolitan feel with the quiet sleepiness of local fishing villages. A dive into the past starts with the ruins of the Roman amphitheater, its ancient stones creating the path that leads to Alcazaba Castle. When the sun goes down, the party starts at Plaza de la Constitucion. Energy thrums through the city streets as the residents come out for the night. Make your way to Granada to visit the famous Alhambra Palace, an outstanding example of Moorish architecture that attracts travelers from all around the world.
Day 2 - Monday - May 1, 2023
Melilla, Spain
Melilla, Spain   Arrive: 8:00 am Depart: 6:00 pm
Melilla is located in the northwest of the African continent, on the shores of the Alboran Sea. The city is anchored by the imposing fortress, Melilla la Vieja. Today, the fortress contains many of Melilla's most important historical sites, among them an archaeological museum, a military museum, the Church of the Immaculate Conception, and a series of caves and tunnels in use since Phoenician times. Once you get your cultural fill, head to Ensenada de los Galapagos, a small, but fabulous beach on the Mediterranean coast. Or, if you prefer a cultural immersion, Parque Hernandez is a beautiful space for a respite. Delight on a paseo (stroll) on the central boulevard.
Day 3 - Tuesday - May 2, 2023
Cartagena, Spain
Cartagena, Spain   Arrive: 8:00 am Depart: 8:00 pm
Along the south of Spain on the Mediterranean coast sits Cartagena, founded in 227 BCE and inhabited for more than two millennia. From the 2,000-year-old Roman theater to the ARQUA Marine Archaeology Museum, it's a place rife with stories for the curious mind to dive into. Driving down dirt roads about 30 minutes outside of Cartagena, you find yourself at the tip of Cape Tinoso, where the impressive Bateria de Castillitos resides. Bring yourself back to the present with shopping, bars, cafes, and restaurants on Calle Mayor. While Cartagena only has one beach, Cala Cortina, it's an oasis jewel located within a tiny cove.
Day 4 - Wednesday - May 3, 2023
Valencia, Spain
Valencia, Spain   Arrive: 8:00 am Depart: 11:00 pm
An exploration of Spain's third-largest city, Valencia, will leave you in wide-eyed wonder. Its architecture, culture, and flavors amid sun and blue skies provides pure energy and anticipation. Valencia holds the same charms of historical structures as more frequently visited cities in Spain, but with fewer crowds. Over in the City of Arts and Sciences, an expanse of 350,000 square meters of the old Turia riverbed, many institutions - like L'Oceanografic Valencia, Europe's largest aquarium - invite you to come and play.
Day 5 - Thursday - May 4, 2023
Ibiza, Spain
Ibiza, Spain   Arrive: 11:30 am Depart: 11:59 pm
Dalt Vila, also known as Ibiza Town, is one of the Balearics' most picturesque cities and a fabulous place to wander around. It's home to an old port and historic city ramparts and has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The island of Ibiza has some of the most beautiful and well-known beaches in the Mediterranean, including Ses Figueretes and Playa d'en Bossa. Wherever you choose to swim or sunbathe, you will find inviting clear blue waters and golden sands lined with beach bars. For a more relaxing excursion, head toward S'Espalmador, a small, uninhabited island between Ibiza and Formentera.
Day 6 - Friday - May 5, 2023
Palma de Mallorca, Spain
Palma de Mallorca, Spain   Arrive: 8:00 am Depart: 10:00 pm
You know you have arrived in Palma de Mallorca, a major city of the Spanish Balearics, when you are met with majestic limestone cliffs plunging into glimmering blue water. On shore, its rich history is evident in its wonderful buildings, castles, and cathedrals. Take in the landmark Gothic cathedral, La Seu, with its enormous rose window and its wrought-iron canopy over the main altar designed by famed Spanish architect Antoni Gaudi. Go for a run or bike ride along the seaside promenade that connects Palma de Mallorca to the neighboring villages of Portitxol and Es Molinar. Beyond the city, explore the lush Sierra de Tramuntana Valley, the island's major mountain range and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Day 7 - Saturday - May 6, 2023
Mahon, Spain
Mahon, Spain   Arrive: 9:00 am Depart: 6:00 pm
The capital of the Spanish island of Menorca, Mahon (or Mao), is well-known for its British-style Georgian houses and its sheltered natural harbor. The best way to appreciate the land's beauty is by navigating it on a small vessel. When visiting Mahon, considered the birthplace of salsa mahonesa (better known as mayonnaise), you must sample the local fare. From fresh seafood to refreshing gin to delectable cheeses, it's a foodie's paradise. Support local artisans by shopping for the island's famous menorquinas or abarcas, a specialty shoe once favored among the peasants for keeping their feet cool now turned into a fashion statement.
Day 8 - Sunday - May 7, 2023
Tarragona, Spain
Tarragona, Spain   Arrive: 8:00 am  
The capital of Spain's Catalonia region, Barcelona lives up to its reputation as a center of grand architecture and inspiring art. Antoni Gaudi's Park Guell displays architecture as art, making for a whimsical stroll. But the port of Tarragona, a short distance from Barcelona, offers many of the same charms as the well-known city with fewer crowds. With a past as the first Roman colony in Spain, incredible ruins abound revealing its history, such as the Tarragona Amphitheater overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. Of course, being a port city, it offers plenty of beaches to stretch out on golden sands amid palm trees.
