The infectious high spirits of Barcelona create a sunny mood for this cruise around Spain to Portugal, which adds the advantage of a quick hop to North Africa along the way. We head out to sea to the Balearic Island of Mallorca first, calling at Palma, the elegant capital of this favorite destination for beach vacations, before returning to the mainland to Valencia. Find out why this city has a growing reputation for pioneering contemporary architecture and why our next stop, Cartegena, is fast becoming a foodie hotspot. Onwards now to North Africa and the Spanish enclave of Melilla, with its fort and secret tunnels, then Gibraltar, British territory on Iberian soil with lots of visual reminders of the UK. Casablanca calls us back to Africa to browse its souks for souvenirs. Flop on the beach in Portimão, our next stop, Cadiz in Portugal, before we head northwest to the capital, Lisbon, our final destination.

Nestled along the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean Sea, on Spain's southeastern Costa Blanca lies Alicante.

Inquisitive visitors will find a mix of historical sites, modern amenities, and natural beauty, making it an appealing location for travelers looking to explore the coastal regions of Spain. Visitors wanting to top up their tans should head to Playa del Postiguet, which provides an oasis of relaxation against a backdrop of the azure sea. If you are after a taste of local life, then head along the Explanada de España, a palm-lined promenade, where you'll see groups of friends converge to stroll, sip coffee, and bask in the Mediterranean sun. But it is not all fun in the sun - the town's history is interwoven with civilizations that have left their mark such as the Santa Barbara Castle, perched atop Mount Benacantil, is a testament to the city's strategic significance over the centuries.
