Day 1

malaga, spain

Departure: 18:00

Malaga, the birthplace of Picasso, radiates art from every corner. Regarded as one of the oldest cities in Spain and Europe, this cosmopolitan port is vibrantly modern while still holding onto its extensive historical past. The palm-tree lined Paseo el Parque leads you beneath Alcazaba, a Moorish palace whose fortified walls surround aromatic gardens and an archaeological museum. The towering Gibralfaro Castle sits atop a nearby hill, offering exceptional views of the expansive city below. The Picasso Museum is also worth a visit, providing not only an impressive artistic heritage, but also educational activities and cultural events. A nighttime visit to Malaga is highly recommended: don't miss a leisurely stroll along the harbor where traditional fried fish is paired with cold beer at chiringuitos (beach bars), and take in the sight of the illuminated Alcazaba, which stands guard over the city from Mount Gibralfaro.

Cádiz is located in southern Spain, in the region of Andalusia.

Inland, the popular White Villages Route is highly recommended. The city hosts three festivals of International Tourist Interest: the prestigious Carnival of Cadiz, the unique horse racing events on the beach at Sanlúcar de Barrameda, and the elegant Horse Fair in Jerez de la Frontera. Part of the province also lies within the Doñana National Park, and there are five other nature reserves in Cádiz's exceptional natural environment. Cádiz is also known for its delicious gastronomy, particularly its “pescaíto frito” (perfectly-fried platters of assorted fresh fish) and shellfish, ideally accompanied by the wines found on the Wine and Brandy routes in the Marco de Jerez region.

Day 3

lisbon, portugal

Arrival: 09:00 - Departure: 18:00

Lisbon is recognized as the city of seven hills due to its geographical position, with the city sprawling across steep hillsides that overlook the Rio Tajo. The city, both romantic and cosmopolitan, showcases its characteristic red rooftops to visitors eager to explore every corner. Lisbon astonishes with its natural beauty and laid-back ambiance. The capital of Portugal boasts numerous museums, libraries, a vast port, churches, palaces, and breathtaking views of the Rio Tajo. Once considered a poor and chaotic city, Lisbon has undergone a revival reminiscent of the 14th and 15th centuries when it was part of a vast empire stretching from Brazil to India. This resurgence was sparked by the World Expo held in 1998, which led to the construction of a new bridge over the Tagus and the remodeling of the city's subway system. The city's revival continued when it hosted several matches during the 2004 Euro and the MTV Delivery Music Awards in 2005. Many of its most beautiful buildings date back to the 14th and 15th centuries, particularly those in the Belem district. There are also many 18th-century buildings, primarily located in the Baixa area of central Lisbon, which were almost entirely rebuilt after a devastating earthquake struck the city in 1755. The city's historic center, situated on Las Siete Colinas, features steep streets and charming alleys. On the city's west side is Monsanto Forest Park, known as Lisbon's lung, which spans 10 km and is one of the largest in Europe. The capital's impressive port has three docks frequently used for various cruises and is currently the busiest port on the European Atlantic coast. Lisbon is a city with centuries of history and an ambitious outlook, blending the historical with the modern, the traditional with the avant-garde. As you wander through the old quarters, you can hear the traditional Fado music being sung and played in small local restaurants. In the hilltop district of Bairro Alto, dozens of restaurants and bars line the narrow streets, with the sounds of jazz, reggae, and electronica filling the air and party-goers celebrating until dawn. Nightclubs scattered throughout the city creatively utilize old spaces, whether on riverside docks or tucked away in 18th-century mansions. Lisbon presents itself to the world as a cosmopolitan and vibrant city, offering something for everyone, especially during the summer months when its many bars, terraces, and restaurants are bustling with people.

Day 5

alicante, spain

Arrival: 09:00 - Departure: 17:00

Here is a revised English (USA) translation of your text, making it more natural and clear for an American audience: Located on the popular Costa Blanca, Alicante continues to attract tourists—probably because it still feels largely untouched by mass tourism. This beautiful, well-designed city is a hidden gem of Spain’s southern coast. Beyond its polished pedestrian walkways, you’ll find the bustling streets of the old town, nestled at the base of an impressive castle. With its drawbridges, moats, tunnels, and secret passageways, the Castillo de Santa Barbara is more than just another castle—it’s one of the largest medieval fortresses in Spain, offering sweeping views of the city and coastline. The Cathedral of San Nicolas de Bari is a great example of Spain’s austere Renaissance architecture, and it features a lovely cloister with intricately carved doors. Alicante also boasts some of the best nightlife in the region. El Puerto and El Barrio are among the liveliest areas in the city after dark, while the Esplanada is especially popular in the summer, as are the kiosks along Postiguet and San Juan beaches. With its beautiful sandy beaches, long waterfront, and mild, pleasant climate, Alicante truly has a Mediterranean vibe.

Arrival: 09:00 - Departure: 18:00

Genoa is a city of contrasts: it is a city of art as well as an industrial city. It has glass skyscrapers and medieval towers, business centers and untouched historical sites. Genoa is one of Italy’s most significant ports that now houses Europe’s largest aquarium and the biggest maritime history museum in the Mediterranean. Wandering through its narrow, winding lanes, known as caruggi, visitors will uncover architectural treasures, some outstanding museums and art galleries. Porta Soprana, the most famous gate in the ancient Genoa city walls, leads to the Piazza de Ferrari, with its Palace of the Doges and the Opera House. Along the Strade Nuove, a breathtaking avenue listed as a World Heritage Site, is where we find the Palazzi dei Rolli, a list of aristocratic homes that serve as a reminder of the city’s imperial past. Genoa is a mysterious and reserved city, it will guide you to fantastic bars, share its cuisine and offer you a taste of culture, but it’ll need to get to know you first.
