Day 2: Casablanca

Casablanca, the largest city in Morocco, blends French, Moorish, and Art Deco styles in its downtown neo-Moorish buildings. The impressive Hassan II Mosque, completed in 1993, has a 210-meter-tall minaret that projects laser lights. The bustling streets of the 18th-century medina offer a look into the city's rich history. Place Mohammed V, lined with palm trees and featuring a decorative fountain, reflects the lively energy of Casablanca.

Day 3: Tangier

Tangier, a port city in northern Morocco, has served as a gateway to Africa for centuries. Founded by the Phoenicians 3,000 years ago, its rich and complex history is evident in the winding streets of the Medina, the 15th-century Portuguese fortress, and the Kasbah Museum of Mediterranean Cultures, which houses the mosaic of Venus. Today, Tangier is a modern Moroccan city with a lively café culture and a bustling port.

Day 4: Motril

Motril, nestled among the Sierra de Lújar and Sierra Nevada mountains, is the capital of the Tropical Coast. Its mild subtropical climate supports sugarcane cultivation. Known for this "sweet gold," its rich sugar history features a sugar museum, mills, and rum distilleries. Motril also provides access to the whitewashed villages in Las Alpujarras valleys and gorges, and Granada, home to the Alhambra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Day 5: Puerto Banus, Marbella

Puerto Banús, a luxury hotspot on the Costa del Sol, is famous for its upscale marina, lined with high-end boutiques, bars, and restaurants, drawing the rich and famous. It's also a center for activities like sailing and dolphin watching. Just 7 km away, Marbella's old town offers a contrast with its Renaissance-era whitewashed buildings, narrow streets, and highlights like Plaza de los Naranjos and Salvador Dalí sculptures along Avenida del Mar.

Day 6: Sanlucar De Barrameda, Doñana National Park

With centuries of Moorish and Andalucian architecture, the peaceful coastal town of Chipiona is the gateway to Doñana National Park, a haven for biodiversity. Home to the elusive Iberian lynx, shifting sand dunes, and corrales pine forests, Europe's largest wetland marshes teem with bird species like flamingos and storks. Tours by 4x4 explore the dunes, marshes, and riverbanks while boat tours on the Guadalquivir River offer a unique perspective.

Day 7-8: Seville

A city renowned for passion, culture, and flamenco, Seville’s intoxicating atmosphere infuses even the weariest traveler with a celebratory spirit. The capital of Andalusia is revered for the grandeur of its monuments as well as for exquisite tapas dishes. The magnificent Catedral de Sevilla lords over the historic center a short distance from the Alcázar (palace), a royal complex of rooms and gardens hidden behind modest terracotta walls.

Day 9: Lagos | Lisbon | Disembark

  • 1 Breakfast
Lagos, on the Algarve coast surrounded by golf courses, is a small port famed for its walled old town and sandy Atlantic beaches. Praia do Camilo Cove is accessed via wooden steps, and nearby Ponta de Piedade cliffs offer panoramic views with a lighthouse. The old town features charming shops and restaurants, with the 18th-century Igreja de Santo António church and the Castelo dos Governadores, a baroque castle known for its watchtowers.

Spread over seven hills with São Jorge Castle views, bustling Lisbon is one of the world's oldest cities. Elegant Baixa, hilltop Alfama with its yellow tram, and scenic Graça overviewing pastel buildings are top areas. The Jerónimos Monastery in Belém is a World Heritage Gothic site. The classic Portuguese pastel de nata custard tarts are a local treat. Europe’s longest suspension bridge, the Ponte 25 de Abril, crosses the river Tagus.

This was our first trip to South America and we were a little nervous. But Adventure Life made things so easy! All our questions were answered before we left, and our guide, Vidal, was amazing! He gave us enough space to explore without rushing us along. He also knew where the best picture taking opportunities were, which was great.
