Cádiz is situated in the south of Spain, in the region of Andalusia. Its coastline is part of the Costa de la Luz (Coast of Light) and boasts numerous golden sandy beaches, ranging from beaches in urban areas to vast, virtually untouched stretches of sand. In the interior, the popular White Villages Route comes highly recommended. It hosts three festivals of International Tourist Interest: the prestigious Carnival of Cadiz, the unique horse racing events on the beach at Sanlúcar de Barrameda, and the elegant Horse Fair in Jerez de la Frontera. Part of the province also falls within the Doñana National Park, and there are also another five nature reserves in Cadiz's exceptional natural environment. Cádiz is also renowned for its delicious cuisine, particularly its “pescaíto frito” (perfectly-fried platters of assorted fresh fish) and shellfish, ideally paired with the wines found on the Wine and Brandy routes in the Marco de Jerez region.

gijon, spain

Gijón is a coastal city in the province of Asturias in northwest Spain. It’s a dynamic, lively place, with plenty of parks, sports facilities, and carefully restored historic and artistic heritage. As one of the region’s main cities, Gijón hosts fairs, conferences, concerts, and major cultural and sporting events. The Old Town lies close to the City Hall Square and spreads across several areas. In Plaza del Marqués you’ll find the statue of King Pelayo and the elegant Revillagigedo Palace. It’s an ideal spot to sit down with a drink in one of the many bars and clubs. Cimavilla is the old fishermen’s quarter, full of small, brightly painted houses, traditional cider bars, and late‑night venues. Walking straight up from Cimavilla’s streets brings you to the top of the Santa Catalina headland, where you can enjoy sweeping views over the city and harbour. Here you’ll also find one of Gijón’s most important landmarks, Eduardo Chillida’s sculpture “Elogio del Horizonte” (Eulogy to the Horizon). Gijón preserves remains of Roman settlements, such as the Campo Valdés baths from the 1st century AD, the largest surviving Roman baths in Spain. A long‑standing favourite holiday resort among people in Spain, the city combines a vibrant nightlife and cultural scene with excellent beaches.

Day 7

bordeaux (le verdon) - france

Arrival: 08:00 - Departure: 20:00

Bordeaux is a thrilling and expansive city where wine still flows and churches still stand. Attractive shopping arcades and handsome 18th century riverfront facades adorn its streets. This city is a paradise for wine enthusiasts and it’s an ideal choice for a romantic getaway. Perhaps the most remarkable feature of the Cathédrale St-André is the wide variety of flying buttresses that surround it. To the right of the main portico is a 16th century buttress composed of a string of slender columns. Adjacent to the Church of St-Michel is the equally beautiful, free-standing bell tower, an imposing and hollow shell. If you ever wondered what Flamboyant Gothic was all about, these buildings provide an unsurpassed definition of that style. Also not to be missed is Bordeaux’s Romanesque representative, the Church of Ste-Croix, with its richly ornamented façade. And of course you cannot leave Bordeaux without visiting the Maison du Vin that offers free tastings of regional wines. The city is also within striking distance of the sublime, immensely enjoyable Dune du Pilat, a massive mountain of silken sand that seems to bring out the acrobat in everyone.

Zeebrugge is a village on Belgium’s coast and a suburb of Bruges, for which it serves as the modern port.

Its central position on the Belgian coast, its short distance from Great Britain, and its proximity to densely populated, industrialised cities make it a crossroads for traffic from all directions. A dual carriageway to Bruges links Zeebrugge to the European motorway network, and the village can also be reached by train or tram. A 12 km canal connects the port to the centre of Bruges. It is Belgium’s most important fishing port, and the wholesale fish market located here is one of the largest in Europe.

Day 12

london (tower bridge),uk

Arrival: 05:00

Of all the European capitals, London resonates most profoundly in the minds of travellers. We soak up London before we even realise it exists and when we finally approach the city, it doesn't let us down. There are the red double-deckers, the bobbies and stoic guards at Buckingham, Westminster Abbey, and the chimes of Big Ben, sounding familiar, as we've heard them before. We see these things with a sense of satisfaction. Yet there's plenty to surprise. London isn't quaint. London isn't a museum, though you could spend all your time hopping from one to the next. It's a bustling, urban sprawl, with traffic jams, shops, and a remarkable international population. Visit the many monuments with nearly a millennium's worth of history, from Chaucer's grave to the pub where the captain of the Mayflower had a pint to Piccadilly Circus, one of London’s most snapped sights. But don’t overlook modern London, with its intensely active theatres, international cuisine, political protests, the latest in music and fashion, punks and peers, and everyone in between. In 1777, writer Samuel Johnson said when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life, and the phrase still rings true. There's something different to experience every day in London.
