  1. Day 1

    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.

  2. Day 2

    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.

  3. Day 3

    Puerto Banus-Marbella, Spain

    Puerto Banús is Marbella’s purpose-built marina, where superyachts sit beside designer boutiques and waterfront cafés. Beyond the polished quay, Andalusian streets, whitewashed villages and the Sierra Blanca give the Costa del Sol its character. Spend time in Marbella’s old town, with its orange-tree squares and the 16th-century Plaza de los Naranjos. Or follow the coast for a round of golf, a long lunch or a visit to Ronda.

  4. Day 4

    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.

  5. Day 5

    Ibiza, Spain

    Ibiza Town rewards a day ashore with more than its famous nightlife. Above the working harbor, Dalt Vila climbs within Renaissance walls, part of a UNESCO World Heritage site. Follow steep lanes to the cathedral and castle, where views sweep across the port and Mediterranean. Below, cafés, galleries and boutiques bring quieter pleasures to the waterfront and old quarter. Come early for history and cooler streets; linger into evening as harbor lights begin to glow.

  6. Day 6

    Palma de Mallorca, Spain

    Palma rewards an unhurried first walk. From the waterfront, the Gothic towers of La Seu rise above the old city, a landmark shaped over centuries. Inside, soaring columns and Antoni Gaudí’s modernist contributions add a striking note. Beyond the cathedral, lanes lead to shaded courtyards, shops and cafés serving local ensaimada. For a wider view, take a taxi to Bellver Castle, whose circular form overlooks the bay.

  7. Day 7

    Collioure, France

    Collioure sits where the Pyrenees meet the Mediterranean, close to Spain on France’s Côte Vermeille. At its harbor, the medieval Château Royal faces Notre-Dame-des-Anges, whose bell tower once served as a lighthouse. Walk the old lanes and taste Collioure’s celebrated anchovies, cured here for generations. Matisse and Derain came here in 1905, drawn by the town’s vivid Mediterranean light.

  8. Day 8

    Saint-Tropez, France

    Saint-Tropez is more than a name on a yacht’s bow. Its Vieux Port remains active with fishing boats and pleasure craft. Ochre façades and narrow lanes lead into the old town. Climb to the 17th-century citadel for sea views and the Maritime History Museum. At Place des Lices, cafés and plane trees frame local life. Pampelonne’s celebrated beaches lie a short drive away.

  9. Day 9

    Villefranche-sur-Mer, France

    Villefranche-sur-Mer makes an unusually graceful first impression: pastel houses rise above one of the Riviera’s deepest natural harbors. Wander the old town’s narrow lanes, then visit the 16th-century citadel and its museums. Jean Cocteau’s painted Chapel of Saint-Pierre adds a distinctive local detail. Nearby trains connect you with Nice; roads lead to Èze and the wider Côte d’Azur.
