Málaga has spruced itself up. In 2003, the Museo Picasso opened in a 16th century Renaissance palace and is dedicated to the artist's extensive life's work. This historic old city invites you to take a stroll and its buildings gleam like new. And above everything towers the Alcazaba, a mighty walled fortress. The port was completely redesigned when the city was opened to the sea and you can now take a lovely stroll along the promenade. In Malaga's hinterland you can see the most beautiful aspects of traditional Andalusia. From a distance the typical Andalusian villages look like white dabs of paint shining out from the brown of the barren mountain landscape.
Arriving by ship, you are met by a wide harbour backed by dry hills and the bright Atlantic light of the Canary Islands. Nearby, this port offers a relaxed small-town atmosphere, black volcanic shores, banana plantations and dramatic mountain scenery rising above the coast.

Considering that Gibraltar covers an area of only around 2.6 square miles, the British enclave is home to astonishing contrasts. Red telephone booths, double-decker buses and high tea on one side, Spanish architecture and tapas bars on the other. Today, Gibraltar is a city of border crossers: Shopping enthusiasts from all over the world stroll along Main Street, which runs through the old town. An unmistakable landmark is the striking Upper Rock, which is easily reached by a cable car. At the top, not only the stunning views across the strait to Africa are likely to impress you, but also the hordes of cute Macaques.
Arriving in Gibraltar by sea, you are greeted by a dramatic harbour setting beneath the famous Rock, with busy docks, anchored vessels, and the meeting point of the Mediterranean and Atlantic close at hand. Nearby, visitors can head toward the old town atmosphere, sea views, and the steep limestone heights that give this compact port its distinctive character.

The old city of Cádiz, around 3,000 years old, has a picturesque location on a narrow headland, right by the Playa de la Caleta with its elegant beachside promenade. Visit the Andalusian capital of Seville and you will be transported back to the heyday of Moorish splendour and rule, but also the age of discovery. This town sits on the Guadalquivir River was a center of Spanish maritime trade with the New World. Many buildings in the old town are registered as UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including the splendid Moorish Alcazar fortress and the huge Gothic Cathedral of Santa Maria de la Sede. Seville is a fun-loving city that is still at the center of Andalusian culture and is considered the proud birthplace of Flamenco.
Arriving in Cadiz by sea, you approach one of Spain’s most atmospheric Atlantic ports, with busy docks giving way nearby to a compact old city set on a narrow peninsula. A short trip from the quay brings you to bright plazas, palm-lined seafront promenades, historic streets and wide ocean views that give the city its relaxed, sunlit character.
Sea day
Climbing the rigging, untying ropes, setting sails – today is all about sailing. Time to lean back and relax in the deck chair and watch the passionate crew hoisting the sails by hand.
Approaching this stretch of coast by ship, you are met by a working harbour atmosphere, open water and the changing light of the Atlantic edge. Nearby, the shoreline and surrounding hills offer broad sea views, with the character of Galicia felt in the mix of maritime industry, breezy waterfronts and green landscapes beyond the port.
Approaching Lisbon by ship, you enter the wide Tagus estuary with city hills rising beyond the working waterfront, giving a first impression of light, space, and busy maritime life. Nearby, visitors can look out for the 25 de Abril Bridge, the Belém waterfront, and the pastel-colored districts that give the Portuguese capital its warm, slightly nostalgic character.
