Malaga is the capital city of the Costa del Sol. Founded by the Phoenicians as a colony approximately 3,000 years ago, it has come under the rule of the Romans, Carthaginians and the Moors. With approximately 670,000 inhabitants, the city lives a ‘Janus-faced’ life as both a busy port and industrial centre for southern Spain.

BARCELONA, SPAIN
This tour allows us to explore the architectural legacy of one of Barcelona’s most famous sons, Antonio Gaudí. His buildings form a most startling statement of Modernism, a Spanish and mainly Catalan offshoot of the Art Nouveau monument.

With a capacity of 98,787, the Nou Camp Stadium is the largest football stadium in Europe. It is the home ground of FC Barcelona and is one of the biggest and most atmospheric stadiums in the world.

BARCELONA, SPAIN
The rugged Montserrat mountain range is one of Spain’s most picturesque areas. Like jagged teeth, the mysterious peaks soar skywards. They have inspired many legends and motivated Wagner to write some of his most beautiful arias.
BARCELONA, SPAIN
Barcelona is a large city that has grown since the end of the Spanish War and the beginning of the modernisation of Spain, and it is now a cosmopolitan city. The old Barcelona, the Gothic Quarter, where the original Roman and medieval city was located, remains comparatively undisturbed, and we will see both aspects of the city on our tour.
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. We then continue, passing by Pombal Square, the famous avenue of Liberty and, of course, Rossio – the very heart and meeting point of Lisbon.
GIBRALTAR
The Rock of Gibraltar, nearly 4,590 metres (1,400 feet) above sea level, is reputed to be one of the legendary Pillars of Hercules. With its policemen, pubs and pillar-boxes, the Rock is still staunchly British, overlooking the entrance to the Mediterranean.

MALAGA, SPAIN
Granada was at its peak during the 11th century, when for a while it became the capital of a small kingdom. Our journey to this beautiful city, which is rich in history, lying at the foot of the Sierra Nevada Mountains and on the edge of fertile ‘Vega de Granada’ – the greenest and best stretch of farmland in Andalucia – will take approximately two hours.

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.

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.
LISBON, PORTUGAL
We depart the pier for a drive to the Belem area of Lisbon. Here we shall see the Presidential Palace, the Monastery of Jeronimos, one of the most prominent monasteries in Portugal, and the Tower of Belem, built to commemorate explorer Vasco da Gama’s expedition. We shall also view the Monument to the Discoveries, which was unveiled as part of the 500-year anniversary of the death of Henry the Navigator.

We then travel outside the city to the site of the EXPO 98 World Exhibition to visit the main attraction here, the spectacular Oceanarium.
