Scenic Tour and Old Town (Tour D)
LA CORUNA, SPAIN
From the pier we will board our awaiting coach to begin our panoramic tour, passing by the Gardens of Los Cantones which was built on reclaimed land. As we pass we must watch for the “galleries” – houses whose windows reflect sunlight and whose façades were built by fishermen out of wood and glass. -
The Gardens of La Coruna (Tour C)
LA CORUNA, SPAIN
Departing from the pier, we will head towards the famous village of Betanzos, the Roman village that emerged from Old Castros. Betanzos contains wonderful examples of medieval architecture, with various houses bearing coats of arms, the ‘fishing quarter’ also makes it a delightful village to visit. -
La Coruna & Betanzos (Tour A)
LA CORUNA, SPAIN
We will pass by the San Anton Castle, located along the seafront promenade, which now houses the Archaeological Museum. We then proceed to Betanzos (Brigantium Flavium), the Roman town that emerged from old Castros. King Alfonso IX granted it the same law-code as La Coruña and so a new era of prosperity began.
-
Santiago de Compostela - La Coruna (Tour B)
LA CORUNA, SPAIN
During the Middle Ages, there were three main places of pilgrimage for Christianity: Rome, Jerusalem and Santiago de Compostela. A visit to the shrine of St James (Santiago), Patron Saint of Spain, entitles us to wear the cockleshell emblem in the company of perhaps half a million pilgrims a year
-
The Basque Coastline (Tour B)
BILBAO, SPAIN
We begin our tour with a drive towards Gernika, where we will have the opportunity to admire the best of this historical and statutory capital – the Casa de Juntas (House of Parliament for Vizcaya) with its symbolic oak tree, the Church of Santa Maria, the Park of Peace and the ‘fronton’ courts, where the Basque people practice their national game of Pelota Vasca. -
Panoramic City Tour & Guggenheim Museum (Tour A)
BILBAO, SPAIN
Departing the quayside, we drive along the main avenues of Bilbao, where we can admire the beautiful Ensanche area, including the Albia Gardens, San Nicolás Church and the surrounding Alamedas (boulevards).

Lisbon Seen From The River
LISBON, PORTUGAL
Our tour begins with a panoramic drive of Lisbon city centre. We shall make a brief stop at the top of King Edward VII Park, from where we can enjoy a spectacular view of the city and harbour.

-
City Tour of Tangier & Cape Spartel (Tour A)
TANGIER, MOROCCO
Tangier is the real gateway to Morocco, built on the edge of a remarkable bay. Dating back to approximately 1,000 BC, it is Morocco’s oldest continually populated city, and is a winter coastal resort of great renown. Tangier is where, in the unmistakably African streets, many cultures continue to mix but never completely blend. -
Lisbon City Tour
LISBON, PORTUGAL
A hilly city with cobblestones, Lisbon’s sights are best enjoyed from the comfort of a coach. This tour takes in many famous city sights. We can enjoy the magnificent view of the city and harbour from Alto do Parque Belvedere. Rossio Square is the Picadilly Circus of Lisbon, and here the mile-long Avenida da Liberdade leads to the statue of Pombol, who rebuilt the city following the devastating earthquake of 1755. -
Picturesque Sintra & Cascais

Leaving Lisbon through Monsanto Park, we arrive at Sintra, a popular old world village resort nestling in tree-clad hills north of Lisbon. The town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its 19th century Romantic architecture. -
Lovely Obidos - A Queen's Gift
LISBON, PORTUGAL
Following a scenic 75-minute drive through the beautiful Portuguese countryside, we will arrive at the medieval town of Obidos, for a unique experience to travel back in time. The origins of this quaint little castle town, rising majestically above the lovely Gaeiras vineyards, are obscured in history, but may date back as far as 308 BC.

We depart the pier for a drive to the Belem area of Lisbon.

Rossio is the main square in Lisbon, and the mile-long Avenue of Liberty leads to the statue of the Marquis of Pombal, who rebuilt the city after the disastrous earthquake of 1755. We then travel outside the city to the site of the EXPO 98 World Exhibition to visit the main attraction here, the spectacular Oceanarium.
