Lisbon to Barcelona
Tour the Iberian Peninsula on a voyage around the coasts of Portugal and Spain. Our cruise begins in Lisbon, the dynamic Portuguese capital, which is capturing hearts with its exquisite architecture, great nightlife – and those delicious custard tarts, pastel de nata. We relax into life at sea for a day as we cross the Spanish border to Cádiz. This beach city is a baroque beauty, where you can dine on some of the best seafood in Andalucia. Málaga comes next, another city graced with sandy shores. Find out about its famous son at the Picasso Museum. In Cartegena uncover the layers of civilization that stretch back here to 220BCE, including a Roman amphitheater. In Alicante, tuck into a paella – this is its birthplace – and go in search of a pirate’s lair at Tabarca. Valencia is gaining a reputation for its cutting-edge architecture and its sophisticated foodie scene. It’s our last stop before we reach Barcelona, the invigorating capital of Catalonia, our final destination.
