-
day 3
Portimão, the Algarve, for Lagos
Disembark for an excursion to the ancient maritime port city of Lagos. Visit the statue of Infante Dom Henrique — a monument to Prince Henry the Navigator —and the Church of St. António, known for its intricately carved wood interior.

-
day 4
Seville
Start the day with a tour of the impressive Royal Alcázar of Seville, a fortified 11th-century Moorish palace that represents the Islamic and Christian cultures that have ruled over the centuries. A UNESCO World Heritage site, its architecture is an evolving tapestry of Mudéjar style and a blend of Islamic, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque and Romantic influences. Today, it is one of the official residences of the Spanish royal family and the oldest royal palace in Europe that’s still in use. Visit the magnificent Cathedral of Seville, a Gothic masterpiece that replaced a mosque on that site, keeping its famous Giralda bell tower in place.
-
day 5
Tangier, Morocco
After five centuries under Roman rule, Tangier fell to the Vandals and ultimately became part of the Byzantine empire — origins that created a vibrant ancient metropolis. A walking tour takes you to Tangier’s kasbah, an 18th‑century fortress. See weavers and artisans creating their handmade crafts in the souks and learn about the flavors of Moroccan cuisine. Continue through the narrow alleys of Petit Socco, where produce vendors, butchers and flower sellers set up shop, to Grand Socco Square.

Later this evening, enjoy a cruise through the Strait of Gibraltar.

day 6
Malaga for Granada, Andalusia, Spain
A scenic drive takes you to Granada, where you may explore the Alhambra Palace and its magnificent Generalife gardens —collectively a UNESCO World Heritage site. Originally designed as a military area, the Alhambra became the residence of the royal court of Granada in the middle of the 13th century, and later a citadel with high ramparts and defensive towers. Admire the exquisite detail that made it both an artistic treasure and a hilltop stronghold.

Your visit includes a choice of one of two included excursions: Market Visit & Paella Cooking Class or a History & Architecture tour of the city.
