GIBRALTAR
Few people are aware that Gibraltar is one of the best places in the world to view cetaceans all year round. The local waters are home to three species of dolphin – the Striped, Bottle-nosed and Common dolphins – along with seven species of whale, flying fish, turtles and sunfish.
CASABLANCA, MOROCCO
On this tour we shall visit the Hassan II Mosque. The mosque is a masterpiece of Moroccan architecture and craftsmanship, and is the largest mosque in the world outside of Mecca. At 869 feet, the mosque’s minaret is the tallest structure in Morocco and the tallest minaret in the world.
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.
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, 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.
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
CADIZ, SPAIN
Since the discovery of America, Cadiz has been a gateway to the New World and a bridge between Europe and Africa. The city, which is considered to be Spain’s oldest town, is African in appearance and immensely intriguing – a cluster of narrow streets opening onto small charming squares.
CADIZ, SPAIN
Seville provides the most universal picture of the spirit of Spain as a whole because of its wealth of art and architecture, its attractive urban layout and its graceful inhabitants. There are few cities with such special delights as La Giralda, the Almohad Tower with a Christian crown, Alcazar, the Mudejar Palace full of medieval legends, and the cathedral, which is the third largest in size in the Christian world.
CADIZ, SPAIN
On this tour we venture inland to a survivor of the Middle Ages and one of the most unspoilt villages of Spain, Medina Sidona. It is as though time forgot this little village, with its cobblestone streets, red-tiled white buildings dotted along the hillside, Gothic church, Moorish gate and steep alleyways.
CADIZ, SPAIN
For those of us who enjoy a drop of sherry and watching flamenco dancing, this is the tour to choose.
CADIZ, SPAIN
Departing the quayside, we travel along the highway until we reach Jerez de la Frontera. Upon arrival we commence our sightseeing tour through the old Asta Regia, a border zone during the Emirate of Córdoba and re-conquered by King Alfonso X, which is one of the most illustrious cities of southern Spain.
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.
CASABLANCA, MOROCCO
We begin our tour with a drive north to Rabat – one of the four imperial cities of Morocco, and the imperial capital, founded in the 12th century.
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.
BELLE ILE, FRANCE
Belle-ile-en-Mer is the largest of the Breton islands, at 20 kilometres long and 10 kilometres wide. Many valleys, which cut deeply into high rocks and end as beaches or picturesque harbours, cross it. This island of contrasts, where we will find white sandy beaches, steep cliffs, green valleys and an infinite variety of flowers and birds, appeals to nature lovers all year round.
PONTA DELGADA, AZORES
Upon departing Ponta Delgada, we proceed to the seafront to one of the main pineapple plantations, where the system of cultivating and marketing this fruit will be explained. During our visit, we will be able to sample a pineapple liqueur.
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.
LISBON, PORTUGAL
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.
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.
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.
LISBON, PORTUGAL
Our tour begins with a drive through the centre of Lisbon, a lively, modern capital with many historic buildings, squares and picturesque quarters. 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.
LISBON, PORTUGAL
Following a short briefing at the quayside, we travel in fully equipped jeeps to Sintra, a popular old world village resort nestling in tree-clad hills, north of Lisbon.
CASABLANCA, MOROCCO
If we only take one excursion during our cruise, this should be it! The ancient city of Marrakech, which was founded in 1062, is located where the Atlas Mountains meet the Sahara. The name Marrakech itself conjures up visions of colourful markets bustling with people, fortune-tellers, street acrobats and peddlers. They are all here, surrounded by reddish-brown walls, palm trees and the high mountains towering through the haze. Marrakech remains one of the truly magical and exotic places left in the world.
