Tower, the oldest Roman lighthouse in use today. Take a walk through the historic city and see the relics from the diff erent people and cultures that gave the city its amazing appearance.
DAY 8: LEIXÕES From Leixoes it is a short and very interesting tour to Porto, and we will spend a day explor- ing Porto and its wonderful surroundings. Mix monuments by leading world architects from the past and the present, and some fantastic baroque carvings. Add a world- famous sweet wine and a certain British fl avour. Place it all by a grand river, and you have Porto. This is Portugal’s second largest metropolis, and one of Europe’s most cha- rismatic cities. Its historic centre, Ribeira, at the northern bank of the Douro River is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Boat tours in replicas of the old “Rabelo boats” off ers a perfect view over the historic city from the riverside. Porto is also home of the Port wine, and you should take your chance to visit one of the famous distilleries.
DAY 9: LISBON Lisbon in Portugal is Europe’s second-oldest capital (aft er Athens), and is home to the Belém Tower and the Jéronimos Monastery, both UNESCO World Heritage sites. The old city is situated close to the harbour so it’s a short way if you want to explore and see the famous buildings like the 45 m high Santa Justa Lift , built in a Neo-Gothic style. Join our excursions or get a taste of Portugal in one of the many restaurants, cafès or bars.
DAY 10: CADIZ Aft er a relaxing morning we reach the harbour of Cádiz around lunchtime. Cádiz is almost totally surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, and only connected with the mainland by a very small isthmus. Cádiz is viewed as the oldest city of the occident. The Phoenicians founded the town around 1100 B.C. Later on the Carthaginian, the Roman, Visigoths and Moors found their way into the city. The his- toric city is still surrounded by vestiges of the old city wall and is really worth a visit. In the urban area of Cádiz lays Jerez, the home of the sherry. Visit the bodegas and distilleries
to learn more about this incredible drink. Take some time to enjoy the seafood, surfi ng, churches, and museums and explore narrow streets where Atlantic waves crash against the sea walls.
DAY 11: CASABLANCA
Our expedition ends in Casablanca, Africa. We recommend that you stay out on deck when we sail into the harbour; The Hassan II Mosque is an amazing sight. The Mosque is the 7th largest Mosque in the world, and 105,000 faithful can pray here at the same time. If you have time you should spend some time to explore the “White City” to get an impression of a lively African city, with a walk through the narrow streets and a visit to the souk (African market place).
