Vigo
Today, the cruise will journey into the natural harbour of Ria de Vigo. A historic fishing port, Vigo bustles with life, especially in the cobbled streets of the old town, where the day’s catch is laid out on granite tables, and cafés serve strong coffee to arriving fishermen - and cruise holidaymakers. Stroll the seafront, or visit Santiago de Compostela, the destination of pilgrims and arguably the world’s first tourist destination.

Cadiz
Ancient Cadiz, with its elegant squares, great cathedral and wonderful botanical garden, is a fascinating city. Step ashore to explore, maybe visiting Seville - the Cradle of Flamenco - with its sumptuous cathedral, famous bell tower, wonderful Alcazar and bullring. One of Spain’s greatest jewels, it sparkles more than ever during the celebrations of its annual Feria carnival.

Leixoes
The Portuguese port of Leixoes offers the opportunity to explore historic Porto. Famed the world over for its port wine, Porto is perched on the granite cliffs above the River Douro, the two banks linked by some vertigo-inducing bridges.
