Description

Embark on an exceptional cruise along the Spanish coasts: an all new 8-day itinerary between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean aboard our yacht, Le Ponant.

Your journey will begin in Tenerife, in the Canary Islands. Dominated by Spain’s tallest peak, Mount Teide, this volcanic island with undeniable charm offers a great variety of landscapes.

You will then discover Lanzarote, also called ‘island of fire’. Its quasi-lunar landscapes are sure to surprise you.

You will then head to Andalusia, where you will discover Cadiz, one of the country’s oldest cities, built on a rock and surrounded by the sea.

After crossing the Gibraltar Strait, dominated by its famous rock that stands some 500 metres tall, continue along the Mediterranean to explore Malaga. Here, a visit to the museum dedicated to the works of Malaga-born Picasso is a must.

At the end of your cruise, do not miss the opportunity to visit Valencia, your disembarkation port. Its festive atmosphere, its old town that is a maze of narrow streets, its gardens and its modern buildings will undoubtedly delight you.

Itinerary



Day 1 - Day 1 SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE
The capital city of Tenerife is located on the north-east coast of the island. Close to the port is the monumental Plaza de España, bedecked with a fountain and plant sculptures. Around the plaza, you can admire the white marble Triunfo de la Candelaria obelisk, the historic casino of Santa Cruz and the majestic Guimerà theatre. Not far from here, the picturesque Iglesia de la Concepción church features the characteristic traits of Canaries architecture.
Day 2 - Day 2 ARRECIFE DE LANZAROTE, CANARY ISLANDS
Established on a coast sprinkled with cliffs, Arrecife has a pleasant beach and a lagoon full of charm, Charca of San Ginés, where the fishermen anchor their boats. The city also proposes places fed by history and culture, such as the castle San Gabriel, former fort of defense of the city.
Day 3 - Days 3 & 4 AT SEA ABOARD LE PONANT
During your day at sea on board Le Ponant, make the most of your free time and the comfort of your ship for a moment of rest or conviviality. If the weather is right, let yourself be tempted by a spot of sunbathing. This day without a port of call will also be an opportunity to do some shopping in the boutique and share the highlights of your cruise with the other passengers. As for lovers of the open sea, they will be able to visit the ship’s upper deck to admire the spectacle of the waves and perhaps be lucky enough to observer marine species. A truly enchanted interlude, combining relaxation, sharing and the pleasure of sailing on a yacht.
Day 4 - Day 5 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 5 - Day 6 MALAGA
A historical and festive town, Malaga is located in Andalusia, on the Costa del Sol. Between the marina and the beaches, you can stroll at your leisure along the seaside promenade of la Farola. Look out for the Malahgueta bullring, set slightly further back. From the hill overlooking the old town, you’ll see Gibralfaro castle and the Alcazaba, two fortified ensembles rising out from the cypresses and maritime pines. To visit Pablo Picasso’s birthplace, first make for 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 6 - Day 7 ALICANTE
a:0:{}
Day 7 - Day 8 VALENCIA
Valencia - the city of Art and Sciences. Two hearts beat in this Spanish city: one is modern, avantgarde and almost futuristic; the other is more provincial, more traditional and nostalgic. Valencia has the temperament of a great Mediterranean city whose wide avenues form a border around the old town. The city has an abundance of architectural styles that coexist harmoniously, but above all it resolutely embraces the 21st Century with the futuristic structures of its Agora congress centre and City of Arts and Sciences, emerging from a crystal blue pool.
Day 8 - Please Note:
Itineraries are subject to change.
