DAY 5 – Cartagena, Spain
Continue to Cartagena, where empires left their mark on Spanish soil. Founded by the Carthaginians in 227 BC and contested by Romans, Moors, and Vandals, this Murcian port wears its layered history openly. The 1988 discovery of a magnificently preserved Roman theater remains its defining revelation, while the hilltop Castillo de la Concepción commands views across the harbor that have been coveted for centuries.
DAY 6 – Alicante, Spain
The bustling resort of Alicante serves not only as the port for Madrid, but is also one of the loveliest vacation spots along Spain’s sunny Costa Blanca. The port’s occupation by Roman and Moorish forces accounts for a notable and varied heritage. In fact, much of this cultural impact is still apparent today in numerous buildings, names and the cuisine, with Alicante cultural landmarks, Alicante Mediterranean cuisine, and Alicante historical sites adding further depth to the experience, giving the call a strong sense of place.
DAY 7 – Ibiza, Spain
Sail to Ibiza, famous for its legendary summer parties, turquoise coves, such as Cala Comte, and the enigmatic rock of Es Vedrà, which trails local legends about magnetic fields and ancient sirens. Visit the White Isle’s 16th-century fortified old town, Dalt Vila, which rises above cobbled streets lined with seafood restaurants and open-air bars, its cathedral offering views across the Mediterranean that put the nightlife in proper perspective.
DAY 8 – Palma de Mallorca, Spain
A rugged Mediterranean gem, arising out of the rich blue haze, Mallorca is a Spanish island of cuisine, culture, and sun-gorged beaches. Palma de Mallorca is the island’s dominating capital and a sand-colored mirage of glorious buildings and living history. The splendid Royal Palace of La Almudaina fortress stands nearby, a left-behind Moorish footprint of square towers and Arabic archways that now serves as an official summer residence for the King of Spain.
DAY 9 – Day at sea
DAY 10 – Saint Tropez, France
Once only a quiet fishing village, Saint-Tropez is now an ultra-glamorous playground for international celebrities, luxury yachts, and the global jet set.
