Day 2: Valencia, Spain
The capital of Valencia, one of Spain’s 17 Autonomous Communities, the city of Valencia is famous as the site where El Cid, Spain’s national hero, battled the Moors. La Lonja de la Seda (“the Silk Exchange”), a cluster of late Gothic-style buildings constructed between 1482 and 1548, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You might also want to take in the Valencia Cathedral, the Torres de Serranos and Torres de Quart (historic city gates), and the Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències (City of Arts & Sciences), a cultural and architectural complex. The city where paella, Spain’s most iconic dish, was invented, Valencia is also a lively modern city with vibrant shopping, restaurants, beaches, and nightlife, as you’ll discover.
Day 3: Cartagena, Spain
Located on the Mediterranean coast of southwestern Spain, Cartagena once served as the Iberian capital for the brilliant Phoenician/Carthaginian military commander Hannibal.

The province of Andalucia in southern Spain is known for its unspoiled natural beauty and whitewashed villages. The Andalucian village of Almeria, from the Arabic for “mirror of the sea,” is set in the foothills of a mountain range dominated by a Moorish fortress and overlooking a beautiful bay. Spend time here browsing the many museums that line its winding streets, or get closer to nature by taking advantage of its excellent SCUBA diving and hiking trails.

Admire La Manquita (literally, “little one-armed lady”) Cathedral, or explore the Alcazaba, a 15th-century Moorish fortress. Malaga also boasts the ruins of a fine Roman theater and a famous bull ring. Or perhaps you’ll simply relax and enjoy something else the city is famous for: a pleasant climate that averages 320 sunny days a year. You'll overnight in Malaga.

The trip was terrific with great planning on your part. Most of the adventures were not mainstream and somewhat off the beaten path which made it especially enjoyable!! We felt taken care of and you all were readily available to respond to questions and issues. I would highly recommend your company and friends have already expressed interest based on our pictures and excitement.

Adventure Life has been an extraordinary travel resource for us over the years and today was no exception. Our River Cruise booking was handled by Jess (who has been our personal trip planner for several years) the same day as our inquiry. Suggestions were given for cabin choice and pre-trip options (that were not shown on the cruise line's website) like airport transfers and prepaid gratuities. Trip insurance recommendations followed and we were assigned a travel co-ordinator till the end of the tour. All we have to do is show up! Great service from friendly folks.

Our travel was flawless! The rider pickup (airport, hotel, ship) was seamless. Jane's recommendation for Emerald Cruise Sakara was everything I wanted but the experience was soooo much more. Adventure Life took care of each and every detail and this was the easiest of all my travels.
