Day by Day Summary and Map

Day 1 - Saturday - May 6, 2023

Lisbon, Portugal

Depart: 6:00 pm

Portugal's capital Lisbon comes alive with a rich history seen in every nook and cranny of the city. From the resting place of famous explorer Vasco da Gama at Jeronimos Monastery to the impressive turrets of Sao Jorge Castle dating all the way back to second century BCE, Lisbon offers a deep dive into the past to satiate the most curious travelers. While Western Europe's oldest city boasts an array of Baroque and Neoclassical architecture, that does not mean it has remained stuck in the past. On the contrary, the colorful culture and vibrant life that runs throughout the city's restaurants, shops, and rooftop bars make it buzz with infectious energy. Taking a tuk tuk through its hard-to-reach passages allows you to experience Lisbon as the locals do.

Day 2 - Sunday - May 7, 2023

Lagos, Portugal

Arrive: 8:00 am

Depart: 3:30 pm

From the 17th-century Moorish city walls to the secluded beach of Praia do Camilo nestled between impressive cliffs accessed by steep wooden steps, the Portuguese city of Lagos kindles your explorer spirit. One of the Algarve's most stunning beaches, Praia da Dona Ana, is also considered among the most scenic in the world. Cobbled streets in the historic center sweep you into city's rich past while authentic restaurants serving modern-day fare bring you into its vibrant local culture. Where stacks of limestone rise out from the Atlantic Ocean you find Ponta da Piedade, an exquisitely iconic view of the Algarve region you must see to believe.

Seville, Spain

Arrive: 7:00 am

Day 4 - Tuesday - May 9, 2023

Seville, Spain

Depart: 1:00 am

With the only inland port in Spain - accessible only by small ship - and lying farther from the coastline than other port cities, Seville offers warmer temperatures that create a mild, Mediterranean climate perfect for sunny day explorations. And over 2,000 years of history make it an intriguing destination made for the curious mind. Once the host grounds of the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition World's Fair, Maria Luisa park now stands as a lush paradise of verdant lawns, palm trees, and pristine ponds. From Lawrence of Arabia to the Star Wars franchise, Plaza de Espana has played a role in film history throughout the years and through many genres.

Gibraltar, United Kingdom

Arrive: 4:30 pm

Depart: 11:59 pm

Perched on the tip of the Iberian Peninsula between Europe and Africa lies the famous Rock of Gibraltar. The Mediterranean Steps, once a military path, now act as a pedestrian walkway for visitors that seek a challenging adventure that leads to rewarding panoramas. Atop the promontory the 300 Barbary macaques, Europe's only wild-monkey population, greet you and await their feeding. Down in the Neolithic limestone caves of Gibraltar, where Europe's Neanderthal ancestors once lived, stalactites and stalagmites tell the story of thousands of years of history. Among this system lies St. Michael's Cave, where the residents of Gibraltar turned the natural formations into an event auditorium where the staging's lights cast an ethereal glow against the rocks for a truly magnificent show.

Day 5 - Wednesday - May 10, 2023

Malaga, Spain

Arrive: 7:00 am

Depart: 5:00 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 6 - Thursday - May 11, 2023

Cartagena, Spain

Arrive: 9:00 am

Depart: 6:00 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.

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.

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 9 - Sunday - May 14, 2023

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 10 - Monday - May 15, 2023

Barcelona, 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.

Stretching from La Rambla to Via Laietana you will find the Gothic Quarter, the city's historic center with intricate medieval buildings and streets turned into modern bars, clubs, and restaurants. A short way up La Rambla, you'll come across La Boqueria, one of Europe's largest and most famous food markets, filled with fruits, pastries, and many tasty samples of local fare.
