Mahón, the historic capital of Menorca—one of Spain’s lesser-known Balearic Islands—is renowned for its deep, uniquely shaped natural harbor, considered one of the largest globally. The city’s charming Old Town features lively markets, local eateries, and a proud culinary heritage.

One of Palma's most notable landmarks is the stunning Cathedral of Santa Maria, which overlooks the Bay of Palma. Dating back to the 13th century, this masterpiece of Gothic architecture boasts one of the largest rose windows — a decorated circular window with stained glass — in the world.
Ibiza's party scene is legendary, attracting thousands of revelers each year from across the world. This gorgeous Balearic Island, lying just off the coast of Spain, has become synonymous with electronic dance music, a jetsetters lifestyle and late-night revelry. Despite its hedonistic reputation however, Ibiza also promotes responsible tourism, with initiatives to ensure the island's natural beauty, including beautiful sandy coves backed by pine-clad hills, is preserved for future generations.
As a major naval station on the Mediterranean coast, Cartagena has been greatly influenced by various cultures over the centuries. This historical crossroads of civilizations is evident in the city's diverse architectural styles from the Roman era to Art Nouveau. A must-see landmark is the ancient Roman Theater, unearthed in 1987 and restored for public viewing.
Málaga was founded by the Phoenicians and has been under the rule of various civilizations, including the Romans and Moors, each leaving their mark on the city's culture and architecture. Several historical sites and landmarks that are worth exploring in Málaga, including the Alcazaba, a Moorish fortress overlooking the city, and the nearby Roman Theater.
Guarding the slender Strait of Gibraltar, Tangier has been Europe's gateway to Africa for centuries, welcoming with an intoxicating blend of exotic cultures and influences unique to Morocco. Built on the slopes of a chalky limestone hill, the Old Town, filled with charming narrow streets and houses bearing eclectic styles, is dominated by a Kasbah, the Sultan's Palace, now a museum of Moroccan art, and the Great Mosque – all, must-see attractions.
During the Spanish conquest of the American continent, Seville was an important harbor but nowadays, this city is famed worldwide for its distinctive Andalusian culture, monuments, traditions and artistic heritage.
Situated at the mouth of the Arade River, which flows into the Atlantic Ocean, Portimão harbors a long fishing tradition that developed predominately between the 19th and 20th centuries with the advent of the canning industry and tourism.
