Venture into the Rif Mountains to explore Chefchaouen, the famed Blue City. Wander its maze-like streets, browse colourful souks and visit the Kasbah Fortress, a historic stronghold now home to a museum and peaceful gardens. Later, return to Tangier for one last night in Morocco. (B/D)
Sail back across the Strait of Gibraltar, swapping the spice-scented souks of Morocco for the sun-drenched landscapes of Andalusia. By evening, arrive in Seville, where the night is yours.
