The old meets the new in this sunny Catalan metropolis, where narrow alleyways contrast with grand boulevards, trendy cuisine meets homemade tapas, and everywhere you're greeted by the warm, welcoming smiles of the fashionable locals. Don't miss UNESCO sites like the mind-boggling architecture of Antoni Gaudí or La Sagrada Familia Cathedral, with its eight decorative spires soaring hundreds of feet into the sky.
Day 6
Palma de Mallorca , Spain
Wednesday, 24/02/2027
Mallorca is steep, green, and fringed with enticing coves and more than 200 lush beaches. But all that natural beauty is just the beginning. Stroll along the tree-shaded Paseo de Born in search of tapas. Shop for a Siurell; a traditional red, green, and white clay whistle dating back to the time of the Moors. Watch the street performers on the piazza around the church, or cross the island to beautiful Sóller. Not to be missed is the cultural landscape of the Serra de Tramuntana, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Day 7
Valencia , Spain
Thursday, 25/02/2027
This captivating city is best when savored slowly. Although Valencia's religious architecture is remarkable, and the Lonja, one of Europe's most elegant buildings is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, take time for an optional experience - paella. You'll learn the local secrets of this gastronomic masterpiece as you cook it, eat it, and toast it with the region's perfectly matched local wines.Want insider advice on where to find the tastiest restaurants, most unique local markets, authentic culinary shops, and hidden watering holes? Check out Valencia's Local Dining Tip Curated by Saveur on our blog.
Day 8
Cartagena , Spain
Friday, 26/02/2027
The walled town of Cartagena is a popular seaport with a large naval shipyard. The seashore offers a wide range of activities from windsurfing to good snorkeling to sailing. From Cartagena you can easily explore the ancient city of Murcia, the coastal resorts of Mazarrón, Cala Cortina, and Cabo de Palos or a little further north, the world famous resort of Mar Menor.
Day 9
Gibraltar , Gibraltar
Saturday, 27/02/2027
It's an odd bit of Britain here at the toe of Spain, with Barbary apes and miles of tunnels as well as traditional red phone boxes. Legend says Gibraltar was one of the two pillars erected by Hercules to mark the edge of the world. Take the cable car to the top to see if you can see it from here. No, that's not it. That's just Africa. What a view.
Day 10
Málaga , Spain
Sunday, 28/02/2027
Here, on the shores of Costa del Sol, the Andalusian spirit thrives.
