Day 4: Gibraltar, United Kingdom
From 2:30 PM - 8:00 PM
Gibraltar rocks โ in more ways than one. From ancient castles to lush botanical gardens and the panoramic views you enjoy from the city's cable car, this British Overseas Territory is more than its most famous landmark, the Rock of Gibraltar. Cruise to Gibraltar and discover more than 300 years of history while touring landmarks like the Convent, where Gibraltar's governors have resided since the 18th century. Or monkey around with Barbary macaques, a semi-wild species of monkey that calls the territory home.

Day 5: Cartagena, Spain
From 10:00 AM - 7:00 PM
Cartagena greets you with its ancient Mediterranean port on Spain's southeastern coast. Originally governed by the Carthaginians and subsequently by the Romans, Arabs and Castilians, this pedestrian-friendly city is a history buff's dream port. Visit the 2,000-year-old Roman Theatre and the attached museum, where you'll find an ancient altar to Jupiter and a statue of Apollo. Then, check out the late 19th-century modernist architecture of Cartagena's historic center. Cruises to Cartagena, Spain allow you to stroll down blue-marble-tiled pedestrian-only Calle Mayor. Or take the 30-minute drive to the Batteria de Castillitos, a medieval-style fortress situated among the picturesque mountain landscape.

Day 6: Valencia, Spain
From 7:00 AM - 6:00 PM
Spain's third largest city, Valencia offers a little bit of everything, from historic sites and bustling city squares to placid beaches. Soak up the sun at Malvarrosa Beach along the urban seafront, or head to El Saler for a more remote beach experience surrounded by white-sand dunes and pine trees. Cruise to Valencia and get your culture fix at Gothic Valencia Cathedral, and see the 15th-century renaissance paintings housed in its interior. Head to Plaza de la Reina in the city's old town and do some people-watching over a fresh glass of horchata, a classic Valencia beverage made from almond milk with cinnamon and spices, or take a picnic lunch of fresh pears and local cheese to the quiet Turia Gardens.
6
Day 7: Barcelona, Spain
From 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM
Itโs easy to see why Barcelona is the most-visited city in Spain. As the capital of the countryโs Catalonia region, this cityscapeโs cultural mosaic pieces together a 2,000-year-old hodge-podge of sun-drenched beaches, cutting edge architecture and a world-renowned dining and drinking scene. Catalan architect Antoni Gaudรญ left his modernist handprint all over the city, while medieval treasures linger in historic Gothic Quarter squares. Get lost in the whimsical gardens of Park Gรผell or savour a chef-led Catalan cooking class. Browse art collections dedicated to Picasso and Miro โ or ride a cable car to the top of Montjuรฏc Hill, relishing citywide views along the way.

Day 8: Cannes, France
Tendered from 10:00 AM - 7:00 PM
The French Riviera is synonymous with glamour and wealth โ and when it comes to prestige, Cannes is the crown jewel. Home to the famous Cannes Film Festival, the city comes to life with film stars each year for the event. But you don't have to be a big-shot to feel like a star here. Head to Palm Beach to take a dip and bask in the sunshine. Stroll down the famous mile-long La Croisette and take in the views of the marina and town below.

From 12:00 PM - 8:00 PM
The hub of Spain's southern Costa del Sol, Mรกlaga is the picture of paradise. Scale the hilltop to dramatic La Alcazaba, the sandy-colored Moorish fortress dating back to the 11th century that overlooks this ancient seaside city. Sun yourself on the idyllic beaches of Caleta and Malagueta, taking in views of the mountains across the bay. See the eccentric works of modernist master Pablo Picasso, the city's most famous native son, at the Picasso Museum. Cruise to Mรกlaga and immerse yourself in baroque and renaissance architecture at Mรกlaga Cathedral, with its elaborate arches and stone reliefs depicting the saints, or turn the clock back to the first century A.D. at the ruins of the Roman Theatre.

Day 11 โ Seville (Cadiz), Spain
From 7:00 AM - 3:00 PM
As the capital of Spainโs Andalusia region, the energetic city of Seville stands tall at the banks of the Guadalquivir River. And like its rich flamenco legacy, this well-preserved city performs an elaborate dance between Moorish history and youth-infused street culture. A jovial spirit and intoxicating personality flow freely throughout its narrow streets, from Old Townโs palaces to the tapas bars of Santa Cruz. Admire the lavish stylings of Plaza de Espaรฑa from a painted ceramic bench, or stroll through Maria Luisa Parkโs serene greenery. Stand in Spainโs oldest bullring at the Bullfighting Museum โ or breathe in citywide views from the top of Torre del Oro.
