  1. Days 1–2

    Seville, Spain

    Seville’s river port opens onto a city of Moorish courtyards, Gothic grandeur and lively streets. The cathedral and Giralda dominate the old quarter. The Alcázar’s tiled rooms and gardens reveal centuries of Islamic and Christian rule. Along the Guadalquivir, former trading warehouses recall the city’s Atlantic fortunes. Come ashore ready to walk, pause for tapas, and let the details set the pace.

  2. Day 3

    Cadiz, Spain

    Cádiz is one of Europe’s oldest continuously inhabited cities, set on a narrow peninsula where Atlantic light reaches every street. Its compact old quarter is made for unhurried exploration, with watchtowers, shaded plazas and the cathedral’s golden dome. At the Mercado Central, fishmongers display the day’s catch; nearby taverns serve fino sherry and local seafood. Beyond the walls, La Caleta beach and the seafront promenade offer a bracing taste of Cádiz’s maritime life.

  3. Day 4

    Gibraltar

    Gibraltar stands at the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula, looking across the Strait towards Morocco. The Rock rises above a compact town shaped by British, Spanish and Mediterranean influences. A taxi tour of the Upper Rock Nature Reserve brings far-reaching views and close encounters with Barbary macaques. Below, explore the Great Siege Tunnels and Moorish Castle, then browse Main Street’s shops and cafés.

  4. Day 5

    Tangier, Morocco

    Tangier faces Spain across the Strait of Gibraltar, where the Mediterranean meets the Atlantic. Walk its medina’s steep lanes past whitewashed houses and shops selling leather, ceramics, and spices. At the Kasbah, find sea views and the former sultan’s palace, now a museum. Beyond the old walls, cafés and boulevards recall the city’s international past. Visit the American Legation, the first U.S. diplomatic property abroad. Or drive to Cap Spartel, where Atlantic and Mediterranean waters meet.

  5. Day 6

    Melilla, Spain

    Melilla gives you Spain with North African light and a distinctly different rhythm. Set on Morocco’s Mediterranean coast, this Spanish enclave rewards a day spent on foot. Begin in Melilla la Vieja, the fortified old town, where stone walls frame sea views and quiet lanes. Then look up: Melilla is known for its Modernist architecture, much of it designed by Enrique Nieto. Cafés and waterfront walks offer an easy pause between landmarks.

  6. Day 7

    Almeria, Spain

    Almería rewards travelers who look beyond its sunlit waterfront. The city’s Alcazaba, among Spain’s largest Moorish fortresses, rises above whitewashed lanes and the port. From its ramparts, gardens and stone walls frame broad views across the city and Mediterranean. The cathedral’s fortress-like exterior recalls centuries when coastal raids threatened the shore. Allow time for the Central Market. Beyond the city, Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park offers volcanic cliffs, quiet coves, and clear water.

  7. Day 8

    Malaga, Spain

    Málaga is more than a gateway to Andalusia; it is a port city with a confident life of its own. In the old centre, the Roman Theatre sits below the Moorish Alcazaba, while the cathedral rises above nearby streets. Visit the Picasso Museum or his birthplace, then try grilled sardines and local wine at a pavement table. The Mediterranean is close: city beaches, Atarazanas Market and palm-lined promenades make lingering easy.
