Malaga to Lisbon Itinerary
From ancient ruins and atmospheric old quarters to thriving food scenes and sun-drenched beaches, Oceania Cruises' Colorful Canary Islands cruise offer the perfect combination of old-world beauty and modern charisma. Witness the magnificent scenery of the Atlantic Ocean’s volcanic islands, where soaring peaks are draped in lush vegetation and still-active craters create otherworldly landscapes. In Morocco and Portugal, marvel at the magical autumnal light.
Spend a day in Granada seeing the magnificent Alhambra and Generalife Gardens, last stronghold of the Moors, or venture into the mountains to the picturesque Mijas, one of Andalusia’s dazzling “white” towns. Explore delightful Málaga, its Alcazaba, Roman theater and beautiful cathedral, or discover the charming resorts of Marbella and Puerto Banus along the famed Costa del Sol.
Visit the 16th century kasbah atop the hill with its expansive views over the Atlantic, the new city and the beaches. Visit a Berber village and stroll through its alleys and browse in its souks. Or head off towards the Souss Valley with the Atlas Mountains as a backdrop to Taroudant, an ancient fortress town.
Soft breezes caress this small volcanic island just 79 miles off the west coast of Africa. A land of contrasts: you can explore some of the world’s most spectacular caves in the morning and relax on a white sand beach in the afternoon.
The capital of the island, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is a historic and culturally rich city set amidst the splendid scenery of two sparkling bays. Visit museums, historical sites and wondrous monuments on a stroll through the centuries-old Vegueta quarter. See exotic flora and amazing vistas while hiking the island, and then relax on one of the four resplendent beaches or meander the energetic streets of Parque Santa Catalina.
Volcanic in origin, Tenerife is the largest of the Canary Islands. While in port, you’ll notice the Auditorium of Tenerife, an amazing, organic structure that instantly became an icon when completed in 2003. Another modern landmark is the Oscar Domínguez Institute, a contemporary art gallery named after the 20th century surrealist. For a respite from the urban environment, visit the Palmetum, a botanical garden with more than 400 species of palms.
Stroll along Calle O’Daly, the pedestrian district named after an Irish banana merchant and lined with historic residences. Visit the Town Hall and the church, Iglesia del Salvador, both of the 16th century. There is an interesting museum of natural science as well as a naval museum.
Breathtaking vistas await throughout this beautiful island. Take a cable car up to Monte for spectacular views of the botanical gardens and the charming town. Drive along the coast to a village where Winston Churchill painted seascapes or out to the stunning cliffs of Cabo Girão and enjoy a visit to a quaint fishing village.
Situated on the sun-kissed coastline of Algarve, Portimão is a colorful city with a bustling waterfront and a charming city center decorated with parks and plazas. The Museum of Portimão traces the history of human settlement in the area as far back as the Roman and Islamic periods. Enjoy beautiful views and explore hidden caves on a scenic boat trip up the coast and along the Rio Arade.
Time to say goodbye to your home away from home and all your new friends. Consider extending your vacation to
-Visit the ornate Belem Tower and Jeronimos Monastery and stroll the narrow, winding streets of the charming Alfama district.
