Alicante (2025), Spain

June 16, 2025 – June 16, 2025

Lying on Spain’s radiant Costa Blanca, Alicante exudes a rare beauty. Lovely Baroque buildings cluster around the historic central district. Marble plazas grace its broad waterfront boulevard, the illustrious Explanada de España. Pristine beaches like San Juan hug the shoreline. It’s no surprise that Alicante is popular year-round. Venture to the grand Castle of Santa Barbara overlooking the city and walk from its high towers down into the dungeon. Stop for a glass of refreshing sangria in the Old Quarter. Behold the masterpieces hanging in the Gravina Museum of Fine Arts, a former 18th century palace.

Granada (Motril) ( 2025), Spain

June 15, 2025 – June 15, 2025

Marvel at the sumptuous palaces, lush gardens and imposing citadels that are the Alhambra. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of the most famous legacies of Moorish rule in Spain. Meander the narrow cobblestone streets of nearby Albaicín, the ancient Arabic quarter, or see a flamenco performance in the whitewashed caves of Sacromonte, originally settled by gypsies.

Gaze out over Malaga from the Gibralfaro Castle hill before exploring the city in-depth on an enlightening walk, taste some tapas in a typical taberna and learn about nougats, a truly Spanish sweet treasure!. Constructed in the 10th century on a hilltop where a lighthouse once stood, the castle rises majestically out of a forest of pines and eucalyptus trees. From this elevated vantage point, you will enjoy a spectacular view of Malaga, an Andalusian city with Moorish roots and an illustrious past. It looks even more magnificent up-close as you will discover while meandering the atmospheric streets. You will pass highlights such as the 1st-century Roman amphitheater, the home where Pablo Picasso was born and glorious Malaga Cathedral, whose construction started in 1528. It dragged on for centuries and the planned second tower still hasn’t been built, giving rise to the cathedral’s nickname: the “one-armed woman.”
