Mit nicko cruises Hochseekreuzfahrt nach Spanien Valencia

Northern Portugal and Southern Spain

8 days | Lisbon • Porto • Cadiz • Gibraltar • Alicante • Valencia • Mallorca

On this cruise with the VASCO DA GAMA, you will gain a fascinating insight into life along the coasts of the Iberian Peninsula. And because enjoyment is an essential part of life, this aspect is not neglected either: port wine in Porto in Portugal, sherry in Jerez de la Frontera in Spain, fish & chips in Gibraltar in the UK and paella in Valencia are on the program. Visiting several UNESCO World Heritage Sites - including Seville - reminds us just how exceptional and worthy of protection this part of the European continent is.

Porto

Mooring: 08:00 Casting off: 20:00

Walk in Porto in the footsteps of the great Portuguese explorers! The narrow streets and centuries-old buildings bear witness to times long past. Culinary delights await you at a port wine tasting - the noble wine got its name from the Portuguese port city in the 18th century.

Day 3

Recreation at sea.

Cadiz

Mooring: 08:00 Casting off: 23:30

Cadiz in Andalusia is a Spanish port city built on a promontory and enclosed by the sea on almost all sides. From the more than 100 watchtowers were traditionally watched for merchant and expedition ships. Cadiz is one of the oldest cities in Western Europe and is characterized by a winding old town with many small squares.

Gibraltar

Mooring: 07:00 Casting off: 14:00

On the Gibraltar Peninsula, you almost feel like you're in a small English town: there are inviting pubs, red telephone booths and the typical British mailboxes. Only the weather is better - almost 2,800 hours of sunshine a year invite you to explore. Visit the Rock of Gibraltar with its cheeky animal inhabitants or the Gorham Cave.

Alicante

Mooring: 10:00 Casting off: 20:00

Located in the heart of the Costa Blanca, the idyllic port city fascinates with a rich history: Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans and later Arabs came to the coast in search of new trade routes and shaped the image of the place with their different cultures. Among the most famous sights is the Castillo de Santa Bárbara. Located on a hill, the visitor is rewarded with breathtaking views of the sea and the landscape.

Valencia

Mooring: 08:00 Casting off: 20:00

The impressive cathedral, home of the "Holy Grail," rises between the narrow streets of Valencia's picturesque old town. A stark contrast to this is the Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències - the futuristic buildings in the former riverbed of the Turia in the Spanish port city look like landed spaceships.

Palma de Mallorca (Balearic Islands)

Mooring: 08:00

Overlooking the harbour and the remains of the city walls of Palma de Mallorca towers the massive Gothic cathedral La Seu. Behind it stretches the picturesque old town with charming stores, narrow streets and tempting tapas bars.

Disembarkation until 09:00.
