Jewels of Spain, Morocco & Portugal

Welcome to Spain and the vibrant city of Barcelona. Renowned for its stunning beaches, innovative cuisine, edgy art scene and buzzing nightlife, it attracts travellers from across the globe. (D)

Palma, a popular resort city and capital of the Spanish island of Mallorca, is a place where history comes alive. Its rich cultural heritage has been inherited from the Romans, Moors and Catholics who lived here successively since 123BC. Wander the narrow, cobbled streets of Palma's Casco Antiguo (Old Town) and admire its elegant archways, grand historic palacios, medieval churches and charming squares.

From Santa Maria Cathedral, a Gothic landmark, to La Almudaina, the Moorish-style Arab fortress converted into a royal residence, and Bellver Castle, a medieval fortress with a distinctive circular shape, Palma reveals a new chapter of history at every corner. (B/L/D)

Whilst Ibiza is known for its thriving party scene, there is more to this island than meets the eye. Home to beautiful nature and superb beaches, you will also discover archaeological sites and small villages almost untouched by modern life. Inland, the island is all limestone hills and lush pine forest, home to artisan producers who are creating one-of-a-kind local delights.

The island is famous for its dazzling sunsets, so make the most of a late departure and watch the sky turn a blaze of orange and red from a stylish waterfront bar. (B/L/D)

A prized location with one of the world's greatest natural harbours at its doorstep and surrounded by rich mineral deposits, Cartagena surprises and delights. Once inhabited by the Romans, Cartagena is recognised for the wealth of ancient sites in and around the city. Roman murals and mosaics adorn historical villas while late 19th century architecture complements the picturesque Mediterranean coast.

Enjoy your morning in this beautiful port before returning to Scenic Eclipse after lunch. (B/L/D)

Spend today exploring the city of Málaga on Spain's Costa del Sol, a glamorous resort town with more than 3,000 years of history. A centre of trade in the 15th century, today this vibrant cosmopolitan city draws millions of visitors each year for its sunshine and artistic roots. Málaga is the birthplace of Pablo Picasso and proudly pays homage to the virtuoso with a dedicated museum. Wander the streets filled with architectural delights from colourful baroque designs to a historic Roman theatre.

With a late departure, there's time to sample gastronomic delights such as ‘tinto de verano', a delicious, iced summer wine. (B/L/D)

Known for luxury cars, expensive shops and impressive yachts, Puerto Banús sets the standard in exclusivity – so you'll feel right at home on board Scenic Eclipse. This small town was developed in the 1970s to be the perfect combination of Andalusian culture, reflecting the fishing villages of the area and a stylish port town with sophistication and elegance.

Set against a backdrop of immense mountains, wind your way through the town's narrow streets lined with flower boxes. Or experience one of the excellent golf courses that dot the hills behind the town. You may also wish to visit one of the many glitzy bars this evening before another late departure. (B/L/D)

At the northwestern tip of the African continent lies Tangier, guarding the Strait of Gibraltar where the Mediterranean Sea meets the Atlantic Ocean. Tangier's allure is timeless, inviting visitors to explore its rich history and vibrant present.

It's known as the White City for the whitewashed houses strewn along winding streets, and many cultures and civilisations have left their mark here over centuries. A strong Spanish influence makes it an excellent showcase for Spanish-Moorish architecture and its celebrated café culture boasts over 1,000 establishments. Today, modernisation is in full swing and Tangier is the busiest port in the Mediterranean. (B/L/D)

The historic city of Seville is around 100 kilometres from the coast, yet its position on the banks of the Guadalquivir River means Scenic Eclipse can sail inland and dock right in its heart. Dating back to the days of the Roman Empire, the elegant capital of Andalusia is an architect's dream with striking styles ranging from the Gothic design of Cathedral de Santa María de la Sede to the Baroque style Iglesia Colegial del Salvador and strong Moorish influences.

Your Discovery Yacht will be spending the night in Seville, giving you ample opportunity to sample the city's famed culinary scene, small bars and flamenco dancing. (B/L/D)

On your second day in Seville, seize the opportunity to explore beyond the city limits. Choose from a day trip to Cordoba, where you can marvel at the Mezquita-Catedral, or visit Jerez to sample its renowned sherry and witness equestrian traditions. Whichever experience you select, your day promises unforgettable experiences and lasting memories in southern Spain.

Settle in at the spacious Scenic Lounge Bar tonight to enjoy your beverage of choice, reflecting on the day's discoveries. (B/L/D)

On the western Algarve, Portimão is a small port with a bustling historic centre.
