Day 1

barcelona, spain

Departure: 17:00

Barcelona is a coastal city in northeastern Spain. It's the capital and biggest city of the autonomous region of Catalonia, and the second most populated municipality in Spain. The city has a population of 1.6 million within its limits, but its urban area, which extends to many neighboring municipalities within the Province of Barcelona, is home to approximately 4.8 million people. This makes it the fifth most populated urban area in the European Union, following Paris, the Ruhr area, Madrid, and Milan. Barcelona is one of the largest metropolises on the Mediterranean Sea, situated on the coast between the mouths of the Llobregat and Besòs rivers. It's bordered to the west by the Serra de Collserola mountain range, the highest peak of which is 512 meters (1,680 feet) tall.

Day 4

lanzarote, canary islands

Arrival: 11:00 - Departure: 20:00

Located just 79 miles from the coast of Africa, Lanzarote is the easternmost of the Canary Islands. Like the other Canary Islands, Lanzarote has a volcanic origin. Due to recent eruptions in the 18th and 19th centuries, many parts of Lanzarote seem otherworldly, often described as 'lunar' or 'Martian'. Among the many impressive volcanic features of Lanzarote is the world's longest Volcanic Tunnel, the Atlantida Tunnel, which is over 7 km long and includes the La Cueva de los Verdes and Jameos del Agua. Despite the island's volcanic nature, Lanzarote boasts several beautiful white beaches such as those at Playa Blanca, Papagayo, and Caleton Blanco. Balance your time between relaxing on the beach and visiting the extraordinary sights created in the volcanic landscape by local artist and environmentalist César Manrique. Don't miss a tour of the Timanfaya national park either. Take a boat to the island of La Graciosa off the northern tip for a blissful day swimming in crystal clear water. Visit some of the vineyards in La Geria and rent bikes to challenge yourself on some of the excellent cycling routes around the island. The capital city, Arrecife, where cruise ships dock, may lack charisma but is welcoming. Southwest of here is the main resort of Puerto del Carmen. It's a lively place with a long, tiled promenade linking four miles of beaches and bays. It's perfect for families with teenagers seeking some excitement, or for vacationers who want a mix of shopping, dining, and nightlife. Costa Teguise, on the other side of Arrecife, is a more modest and peaceful alternative that has become increasingly upscale in recent years. It tends to attract an older crowd.

Day 11

tangier, morocco

Arrival: 07:00 - Departure: 16:00

Tangier, perched at the meeting point of the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, is one of Morocco’s most atmospheric gateways. Long a crossroads for traders, writers, and spies, the city blends North African tradition with European and Middle Eastern influences. Whitewashed houses climb the hills above the bay, palm trees line the avenues, and across the water you can glimpse the coast of Spain on a clear day. Start your visit in the old medina, a maze of narrow streets, blue-painted doors, and lively markets. Here you’ll find the Grand Socco, the bustling square that separates the medina from the modern city, and the Petit Socco, once the haunt of writers and artists. Climb to the Kasbah for panoramic views over the strait, then explore its quiet lanes, restored riads, and the Kasbah Museum, housed in a former sultan’s palace. Beyond the old town, Tangier’s modern side reveals wide boulevards, Belle Époque facades, and a long seafront promenade. Cafés like the historic Café Hafa, terraced above the cliffs, invite you to linger over mint tea while watching ferries come and go. Beachfront hotels, contemporary restaurants, and stylish bars make the city a comfortable base for both short stays and longer explorations. Tangier also serves as an ideal starting point for day trips. To the west, the dramatic Cap Spartel marks the official meeting of the seas, while the nearby Caves of Hercules combine myth and natural beauty. Inland, rolling hills give way to rural villages and forested landscapes. Whether you’re arriving from Europe or connecting to other Moroccan cities, Tangier offers a vivid introduction to the country’s culture, history, and coastal charm.
