Description

Fall under the spell of a journey from southern Spain to the shores of Morocco, at the heart of a region where two seas and two continents meet. From light-drenched Andalusia to the coast of North Africa, the landscapes and cities tell the story of centuries of exchange and cultural blending, in places such as Cadiz, which looks out over the Atlantic, or Casablanca, where Art Deco architecture meets the ocean. Further north, facing the Strait of Gibraltar, Tangier embodies this unique meeting point between Europe and Africa. The mix of historic towns and fortified cities creates a rich and contrasting setting, featuring Andalusian heritage, Arab influences and Mediterranean gentleness.

Itinerary



Day 1 - Day 1 - Málaga
A historical and festive town, Malaga is located in Andalusia, on the Costa del Sol. Between the marina and the beaches, the seaside promenade of La Farola offers an ideal setting for strolling and relaxing. Set slightly further back, the Malagueta bullring is one of the emblematic sites of the city. From the hill overlooking the old town, one can see Gibralfaro castle and the Alcazaba, two fortified ensembles rising out from the cypresses and maritime pines. To visit Pablo Picasso’s birthplace, you will go first to the courtly plaza de la Merced. A few streets back from here, you can explore the museum dedicated to the artist, in the Buenavista palace.
Day 2 - Day 2 - Cadiz
Andalusia’s Cadiz is located on the Costa de la Luz, in the south-west of Spain. From the beaches of Cortadura, to the flamenco bars of Santa Maria, through the colourful streets of la Viña, you will be amazed by this city, which is both steeped in history and extremely festive. In the medieval El Pópulo district, you will stroll along covered passages in the narrow gaps between houses. You will also be able to mosey around the lush Mina square. The star of the show is the magnificent cathedral and its dome crowned with yellow porcelain, presiding above the Ocean.
Day 3 - Day 3 - Casablanca
Situated along the Atlantic coast, Casablanca is the very image of contemporary Morocco: Westernised and cosmopolitan. Exploring the architectural heritage of the “White City” tells you all you need to know about its cultural and historical diversity. Breathtaking highlights include the majestic Hassan II Mosque, considered to be one of the greatest religious buildings in the world. You can explore the narrow alleys of the old Medina, which stand in sharp contrast to the surrounding modern architecture. To get the most from the seafront, the Ain Diab Corniche provides a pleasant place for strolling with easy access to the beach.
Day 4 - Day 4 - Tangier
Nestling in the Bay of Tangier, this bewitching Moroccan city lies at the northwestern tip of the country, along the famous Strait of Gibraltar. Following in the footsteps of the writers and artists inspired and seduced by the city’s climate and setting, you’ll love its rich landscapes and multicultural charm. You’ll instantly understand as soon as you set foot in the heart of the Medina. An architectural masterpiece, the Kasbah is your gateway to the Sultan’s Palace and its gardens. If you prefer beaches to museums, you can relax just a few minutes from the city on the beautiful sweep of sand bathed by the Atlantic Ocean.
Day 5 - Day 5 - Melilla
An autonomous city of Spain on the North African coast, Melilla and its citadel sit on the edge of Cape Three Forks, between Morocco and the Mediterranean Sea, offering breathtaking views of this blue expanse. A perfect blend of history and modernity, the city boasts charming cobbled streets, imposing ramparts and a number of historic sites that are well worth a visit, including the Baluarte de la Concepción and the Hospital del Rey. In contrast to these vestiges of the city's military past, the Art Nouveau curves of the Palacio de la Asamblea, Casa Melul, the Reconquista building and Plaza Menéndez Pelayo reflect the influence of Gaudi's student Enrique Nieto, who lived here, and the great Catalan Modernist period. After Barcelona, Melilla has the largest number of buildings in this style.
Day 6 - Day 6 - Gibraltar
Just twenty kilometres from the Moroccan coast sits Gibraltar, stretching to the southernmost tip of the Iberian Peninsula. You’ll be impressed by the main attraction of this British Overseas Territory, the limestone monolith Rock of Gibraltar which covers most of the area. The top of the rock, served by a funicular railway, offers an amazing view over the Strait. Classified as a nature reserve, the rock is home to a colony of Barbary apes, the only wild monkeys in Europe. In the centre of Gibraltar, you’ll be surprised by the British feel that infuses the city and blends with the Moorish influences.
Day 7 - Day 7 - Puerto Banús
Fall under the spell of Puerto Banús, a luxury marina in the town of Marbella, where elegant yachts and high-end boutiques set the scene for a unique break. A destination popular for its marina, the appeal of Puerto Banús lies in its accessibility and lively atmosphere all-year round. About an hour’s drive inland, Ronda offers a cultural interlude marked by Andalucian history, landscapes and white villages.
Day 8 - Day 8 - Málaga
A historical and festive town, Malaga is located in Andalusia, on the Costa del Sol. Between the marina and the beaches, the seaside promenade of La Farola offers an ideal setting for strolling and relaxing. Set slightly further back, the Malagueta bullring is one of the emblematic sites of the city. From the hill overlooking the old town, one can see Gibralfaro castle and the Alcazaba, two fortified ensembles rising out from the cypresses and maritime pines. To visit Pablo Picasso’s birthplace, you will go first to the courtly plaza de la Merced. A few streets back from here, you can explore the museum dedicated to the artist, in the Buenavista palace.
