Overview

The Funchal city is the capital and owes its name to the plant called "lunch". This plant existed in abundance in this area. Sweets are still made from this plant today. The category of the city was granted by King Manuel I, on 21 August 1508. It's a city of white rows of houses that climb up the hills, like an amphitheater around a beautiful bay of blue sea. This architectonic distribution, due to the region's rugged and high terrain, covers itself with special beauty to bring in the New Year, since it makes it possible to put on a fireworks display of rare beauty and present a unique festive illumination for the season. Funchal's port is the entry door for many cruise ships as well as for the loading and unloading of goods shipped by sea. The city is divided into three principal areas: on the west side, we have the tourist area where we find most of the hotels; on the east side, the so-called "Zona Velha" or "Cidade Velha" (Old Zone or Old Town), where old constructions predominate, some of them having been transformed into typical restaurants; and the central part, where a great part of the commerce and characteristic monuments are found.

Overview

Puerto del Rosario emerged at the end of the 18th century as a small cattle-raising center on the current bay. The city, known then as Puerto de Cabras, was transformed in the middle of the 18th century into a prosperous commercial port, a fact which favored it being declared the capital of Fuerteventura in 1860, a status which until then was held by Betancuria. A city that is excellently connected by sea and air, Puerto del Rosario currently provides the chief port of access to the island, as well as offering a good many tourist attractions, such as mild temperatures year-round and the beautiful beaches that cover its coastline. Beaches such as Puerto Lajas, Jarugo, and Playa Blanca, are the last equipped with modern infrastructure which includes hotels, restaurants, shops, and sports facilities. Any of these places has optimum conditions for surfing, windsurfing, or sailing, not forgetting underwater sports such as scuba diving or spearfishing. Strolling through the historic quarter of Puerto del Rosario, the visitor will find a bright collection of whitewashed streets that house outstanding examples of architecture, such as the church of Nuestra Senora del Rosario, or the House- Museum of Miguel de Unamuno, located in a 119th-century house.

Something else to attract tourists is located on the Promenade, converted into a genuine open-air gallery thanks to the sculptures of snails by the Canary Islands sculptor Juan Bordes. Leaving the capital behind, Fuerteventura has many surprises in store for us. The dryness of its earth has given rise to the formation of ravines, while along the coast stretch heavenly beaches of fine sand and incredible dunes beside a sea of turquoise water. The sea is precisely one of the greatest attractions the island offers, not only because of the fascinating biological diversity hidden in the sea depth but also because it is one of the best places in the world to do sailing sports and above all windsurfing, a sport which each year attracts thousands of fans and professionals to the place. The island of Fuerteventura has several tourist centers. At the northern end, we can visit Corralejo, a town which has an extensive beach of dunes. In the center, only a few kilometers from the capital that is Caleta de Fustes. Further south, on the Jandía peninsula, is the chief tourist infrastructure on the island, with centers such as Costa Calma, located next to the beach of Sotavento, and Morro Jable. Those who wish to can take up windsurfing and other water sports such as surfing or scuba diving in any of the schools which exist in these places. The sparse population of the island has allowed the conservation of almost unspoiled ecosystems such as the Corralejo Nature Reserve, which occupies the northeastern strip of the island and is outstanding because of its imposing coastal dunes. Opposite is the Islote de Lobos Nature Reserve, with a valuable habitat in which native species of flowers grow. Lastly, in the south is the Jandía Nature Reserve, an area that to abundant examples of the island's fauna and flora. The gastronomy of the islands is based both on the produce of the land and on excellent fresh fish provided by its coastline. Species such as “vieja” (a local fish), horse mackerel, or sama (similar to sea bream) are usually served fried or roasted, although salted fish is also traditional. Outstanding in the meat department is roast baifo (kid) and roasted or marinated pork. Not forgetting recipes for other traditional Canary Islands specialties, such as Canary Islands stew and papas arrugadas (potatoes boiled in their jackets) with mojos (typical sauces). Fuerteventura cheese, made from goat's milk, enjoys much acclaim and has its Designation of Origin standard. The only wines in the province are produced in neighboring Lanzarote, outstanding among whose Designation of Origin standard is the magnificent produce of the Malvasía variety, with aromatic whites and delicious sweet wines.

Day 9 Port of Call Tangier Arrival 8:00a.m. Departure 7:00p.m.

Overview

At the crossroads of Africa and Europe, the Mediterranean Sea, and the Atlantic Ocean, Tangier has an individual character. It is one of the oldest cities in Morocco. The Phoenicians and Carthaginians established trading posts here. The Romans made it a capital city. It was occupied by the Arabs and invaded by Vandals and Visigoths. Before the Spanish, the Portuguese controlled the town. In the early part of the 20th century, Tangier was an international city whose tax-free status and cosmopolitan image attracted European and American artists and writers. Although it has lost a little of its glamorous image, it is still a bustling city with an air of mystery surrounding it. For most visitors that arrive in Morocco by sea, it is their first point of contact with the country. The town beach has a great setting: it makes up a several-kilometer-long curve with the white houses of Tangier as a frame before it ends in the barren mountains of which there is nothing further north than sea and the European continent. One of the main centers of afternoon and early evening activities in Tangier is along the beach walk. Activities here are rather common, people walk up and down this avenue-sized street, looking at people and allowing others to look at them. There are several Atlantic beaches west of Tangier, which all offer a good alternative to the town beach. The setting of these beaches can be most attractive, with mountains on all sides, yet with a wide and clean beach with all necessary amenities. The medina of Tangier is a real one: Streets are narrow, houses in many different styles, and most of this medina is in good condition. That is proof that even people with some money both live and work here. The medina is quite big, and there are many commercial areas. Most of these serve the tourist traffic, and it is more difficult to find any areas where real handcraft is performed.

Day 10 Port of Call Malaga Arrival 8:00a.m. Departure 10:00p.m.

Overview

Layers of fortifications include the remains of a 14th-century Moorish Castle and the 18th-century Great Siege Tunnels, which were expanded in WWII.

Day 12 Port of Call Cadiz Arrival 8:00a.m. Departure 10:00p.m.

Overview

The city of Cadiz, which practically accounts for the whole of the municipal area, lies to the east of the bay of the same name, in an area that could be described as a half island, half peninsula, connected to the mainland by a slender, sandy strip. Its situation is responsible for its obvious maritime tendencies, and it has been dedicated to seafaring pursuits since its foundation. The Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, and Arabs all passed through what is believed to be the world’s oldest city, and it was here that Spain’s first democratic Constitution was drawn up. Despite its essentially urban nature, it also boasts areas of natural interest, such as the beaches of La Cortadura and El Chato, as well as Santibanez Mud Flats, which are part of Cadiz Bay Natural Park. The city, popularly known as “La Tacita de Plata” (The Silver Cup), has an unmistakable marine flavor, and its people are famous for their good humor and hospitality, as witnessed by the famous carnival; it boasts monuments of great interest, such as the Cathedral, the city walls, Holy Cross Parish Church, the Genoese Park, Puerta de la Caleta, etc. All places of indubitable charm, to which we must add the city’s cuisine and beaches, famous for their beauty, such as La Caleta, Santa Maria del Mar, and La Victoria. History This legendary city was founded by the Phoenicians in 1100, although the oldest archaeological remains date back to around 800 B.C. Mythology links its foundation with Hercules and the legendary Tartessia. The Phoenicians called the city Gadir, meaning “closed area”. They built a commercial factory and a temple in honor of the god Melkart. In 206 B.C. it was joined with Rome as an allied city under the name Gades. This was the start of one of the most prosperous periods in Cadiz’s history, and it became one of the most important cities in the Roman Empire. In the Imperial age, it was known as “Augusta Urbs Julia Gaditana”. Its inhabitants were soon granted Roman citizenship. When the Moslem invasions began in the 8th century, it provided the armies with significant support by facilitating their passage, though it soon suffered a decline in importance which would prevail until the Christian conquest and re-settlement at the hands of Alfonso X, known as The Wise, between 1260 and 1262. During the 15th century, the city’s economic activity was based essentially on sea commerce, particularly in North Africa. In 1493, the Catholic Monarchs made Cadiz Crown property; it had belonged to the Ponce de Leon estate since 1470. With the discovery of America, Cadiz’s rise to greatness began, culminating in the 18th century. Its natural conditions meant that whenever ships couldn't berth in Seville, they could do so in Cadiz. In 1717, Seville’s Contracting House was moved to Cadiz, the monopoly of American trade traveling with it; however, this situation was short-lived, as the concession to trade with the New World was extended to twelve ports in 1778. The town center was consolidated in the 18th and 19th centuries when urban renovation was carried out and most of the monuments and buildings that we know today were built. La Isla del Leon, now San Fernando, was the setting for the earliest meetings of the famous Cadiz Cortes, general constituent assemblies set up to provide Spain with a Constitution during the War of Independence. Fleeing from the French, the Government took refuge near Cadiz, the only stronghold that the French were unable to capture during the whole of the war. Between 1810 and 1811, Government assemblies took place in La Isla de Leon Theatre; in February 1811, the proximity of Napoleon’s troops forced them to move to San Felipe de Neri Church in Cadiz, returning once more to La Isla de Leon before finally making their definitive journey back to Madrid in 1813. After the war, the city continued at the vanguard of liberalism, with its support for Riego in 1820 and its leading role in the face of the French invasion in 1823. In a similar vein, Cadiz was at the forefront of the 1868 uprising. At the end of the 19th century, the city’s economic decline began. A series of events including the loss of the colonial market, culminating in the 1898 Disaster, and the African War, among others, ushered in a crisis that was to have grave consequences.

Day 13 Port of Call Portimao Arrival 7:00a.m. Departure 7:00p.m.

Overview

It traces its origins back to a small trading port of the Phoenicians, Greeks, and Carthaginians. Some historians have indicated that the place was originally the famous Portus Hannibalis named by the famous Roman general, Hannibal Barca. During the following Moorish occupation they renamed the place “Burj Munt”. Located at the mouth of the River Arade it provides a natural harbour and has at times been known in its past as a home for smugglers and pirates. The river also provides sea access to the ancient city of Silves which was the capital of the Algarve during the Moorish occupation.

Day 14 Port of Call Lisbon Arrival 7:00a.m.

Overview

Lisbon is Portugal’s hilly, coastal capital city.
