You'll be awed by the sight of spectacular rock formations, dramatic coastal cliffs, and mysterious caves on this comfortable Algarve sail.

Take a guided tour of the Stables and Tack Room for insight into this historic facility—preserving the world's ancient Spanish lineage of the magnificent Andalusian Cartujano horse.

  • STROLL: Palms & Pastel Plazas Take a panoramic drive from Jerez to Cadiz, the oldest city in Western Europe. Walk from Caleta Beach to the Old Quarter en route to the Gardens of the Genoves. Witness the elegant, pastel-colored homes with Mirador windows, plazas decorated with palm trees, promenades, and a cathedral by the sea.

Looming large between two seas and two continents, the towering 1,397-foot (426-metre) limestone promontory majestically reigns above the Iberian Peninsula. Join an expert Local Guide and visit breathtaking St. Michael's Cave; view ruins of the Moorish Castle, a reminder of the 700 years of Moorish rule; and stop for an up-close encounter with the colony of mischievous Barbary macaques.
