Day 1: Lisbon, Portugal | Embark

Lisbon, Portugal’s capital since its capture from the Moors in 1147, boasts over 2,000 years of history. Stretching along the right bank of the Tagus River, its downtown district, the Baixa, was rebuilt in the 18th century around Rossio Square. Nearby, the Alfama—one of Lisbon’s oldest neighborhoods—preserves much of its original medieval layout, having largely withstood the devastation of the 1755 earthquake.

Day 2: Portimao

Portimão, the largest city in the western Algarve, was historically a hub for sardine fishing and processing. Today, it serves as an ideal base for exploring the wider region. Popular nearby excursions include Lagos, once the heart of Portugal’s 14th-century Age of Exploration, and Silves, the former capital of the Algarve, where historic sites reflect its deep and storied past.
 

Day 3: Cadiz, Spain

Cadiz called 'the cup of silver' is almost African in appearance, its streets are lined with palm trees, its churches topped with dome-like cupolas. Take advantage of the optional tours to Seville, the irresistible capital and cultural centre of Andalusia with its colorful and festive lifestyle.

Day 4: Gibraltar, British Overseas Territory

Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory and headland, on Spain's south coast. It's dominated by the Rock of Gibraltar, a 426m-high limestone ridge. The Cable Car is one of the ways to the Top of the Rock and a must-see attraction for all visitors to Gibraltar. The view is spectacular and you can watch the famous monkeys of Gibraltar. A lesser known wildlife attraction are the dolphins leaping in the sparkling waters of Gibraltar Bay, whole families of dolphins visit the bay and the chances of seeing them are good.

Day 5: Puerto Banus, Marbella, Spain

Located on the Costa del Sol of southeast Spain, Puerto Banus is a beautiful Mediterranean playground of white-washed buildings and a marina filled with yachts. The marina was developed in 1970 and over the past four decades has become adored by jet-setters around the globe for its beauty and simplicity. Famous for its prominent visitors, nightlife and luxury boutiques, this Jewel of the Costa del Sol is very much the place to see and be seen.

Day 6: Malaga, Spain | Disembark

  • 1 Breakfast
Malaga's fortress palace of the Alcazaba and the Castillo de Gibralfaro are splendid examples of Moorish architecture. But it is in Granada that you can see the most romantic and magnificent expression of the Arabesque style in the glorious Alhambra Palace.

Kate was great to work with in the planning stage. She was prompt, helpful, and efficient. Our tour guide, Edwin, was knowledgeable and passionate. We were very happy to have traveled with Adventure Life, it made the trip easy and a true pleasure. We could concentrate on enjoying the experience rather than the details of travel.
