Cuba Transatlantic to Spain

Hamilton, the capital of Bermuda is a small, friendly city with a wonderfully welcoming atmosphere and exciting vibrancy. Front Street, arguably the city’s biggest attraction, runs along the shore line and is usually the first glimpse of Hamilton that visitors get as they arrive. The street is home to glitzy shops and several restaurants and bars, all benefitting from wonderful views out across the harbour.

Away from Front Street, Hamilton has plenty more to offer. The city centre has many historic monuments and buildings to seek out and discover too, including Cathedrals, arts centres, museums and parliament buildings. There are also several parks with beautiful walkways, tall trees and gorgeous greenery to relax in and a number of busy markets selling locally made and home-grown produce - the perfect place to sample the famous culture and atmosphere.

Ponta Delgada, the main town on the island of São Miguel, is the capital of the Azores archipelago. The town’s cosmopolitan atmosphere belies its 500-year history, and the surrounding island boasts beautiful lakes, mountains, sandy beaches and the stunning crater lakes of the extinct Sete Cidades volcano. A fine collection of buildings, narrow cobbled streets and squares, are a firm reminder that this was once a key staging post between Europe and the Americas. Intermingled are cool parks, enchanting squares, a modern marina, restaurants and waterside cafés. The striking, three-arched city gates, Portas da Cidade, which once stood in the harbour and now reside in Gonçalo Velho Cabral Square, were dedicated to the Portuguese navigator who discovered the Azores. The Gothic Church of St. Sebastian and The Convent and Chapel of Our Lady of Hope, which is home to a revered image of Christ, are both worth uncovering. The Carlos Machado Museum offers diverse artefacts of Azorean culture, while Igreja Matriz Church, with its splendid clock tower, is one of many beautifully ornate towers to be found. The ‘Green Island’ also offers canoeing and other sports activities on lakes located in the craters of its dormant volcanoes.

Cádiz is an ancient port on a peninsula in the Andalucia region of southwestern Spain, surrounded almost entirely by water. An important trading port and home to the Spanish Navy, attacks by pirates in the 17th century led to the construction of defensive bastions, castles and watchtowers. In the 18th century the river to Seville silted up and Cádiz took over the monopoly of the New World trade, becoming the wealthiest port in Western Europe. It is also the coastal gateway to Jerez de la Frontera, a city that boasts one of the most famous wines in Spain, and home to the famous ‘Cartujano’ horses; both of which you'll have the chance to experience while here.

Situated on Andalusia's beautiful Mediterranean coast, Málaga offers everything you would expect from a city on the Costa del Sol: seemingly endless stretches of golden sand beaches, fantastic restaurants serving traditional tapas and friendly bars attract locals and holidaymakers alike.

There's much more to the region's captivating capital than busy beach resorts though. Dig a little deeper and a wealth of cultural, historical, artistic and architectural treasures reveal themselves, such as Catedral de Málaga, the statuesque and striking Alcazaba Fortress and Castillo de Gibralfaro. Not-to-be-missed is the Picasso Museum, which exhibits a fantastic collection of masterpieces from arguably Malaga's most famous 'son', Pablo Picasso.

What's more, Málaga is also your gateway to Granada and the glorious Alhambra, where proud 14th century palaces and exotic gardens are Spain's finest expression of Moorish art; as well as the Ronda Valley, where on tour you can explore a charming old town and the picturesque El Tajo gorge.
