Day 1
Barcelona, Spain
Barcelona is a Mediterranean port city built on Roman foundations, with Gothic lanes and striking modernist architecture. La Rambla runs from Plaça de Catalunya towards the waterfront and the old town. Gaudí’s Sagrada Família and Park Güell show the city at its most distinctive. Set aside time for a market lunch and a walk through El Born, where medieval streets meet lively cafés. Barcelona’s beaches offer a welcome pause between visits.
-
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.
-
Day 5
Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain
Santa Cruz de Tenerife is more than an island gateway. This Atlantic capital rewards a closer look. Browse the stalls at Mercado de Nuestra Señora de África, then follow the old streets towards Plaza de España. Its broad avenues, shaded plazas and market cafés make wandering pleasantly straightforward. Modern landmarks include the sculptural Auditorio de Tenerife, while palm-lined parks offer a welcome pause. Mount Teide rises inland; the golden sands of Las Teresitas lie within reach.
-
Day 12
Salvador de Bahia, Brazil
Salvador rewards curious travellers with Brazil’s strongest blend of African heritage, Portuguese architecture and Atlantic spirit. In Pelourinho, within the city’s UNESCO-listed historic centre, pastel façades and baroque churches line steep cobbled streets. Ride the Elevador Lacerda from the upper city to the waterfront, where views open across Baía de Todos-os-Santos. Try acarajé, crisp black-eyed-pea fritters sold by baianas in traditional dress. Music carries traditions shaped by Candomblé and samba.
-
Day 14
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Granite peaks rise above Guanabara Bay; the city reaches toward the Atlantic. From the port, the landmarks are unmistakable: Sugarloaf Mountain guards the bay, and Christ the Redeemer watches from Corcovado. Balance the grand views with street-level pleasures: Copacabana, Ipanema, and the leafy avenues of the South Zone. Choose one or two sights, then leave room for a long lunch and the city’s beach culture.
