  • Portimao, Algarve - Village Views & Portuguese Wines

    Description

    Discover a charming Algarve fishing village and a modern Estate famous for its wine production. This Yachting Land Adventure begins by driving past Praia da Rocha in the direction toward Alvor, a little fishing port with a history that extends back to the Classical Era. It is believed the Carthaginians founded the city and its importance is confirmed by the ruins of a wealthy Roman villa located slightly inland from the present village. In the time of the Moors, who first occupied the area in 716, the village was named Albur and it passed through Portuguese and Moorish hands several times. Alvor, as its known today, is a charming blend of popular modern-day resort and quaint old-world village.

    After spending some free time in Alvor, we will make our way to Quinta dos Vales where we will have a guided visit of the property (Sculpture Garden, vineyards and the wine lodge) followed by a wine tasting session of the wines produced and accompanied by a splendid selection of Portuguese snacks. The wines created at this estate have already received several awards in international wine contests. The wine tasting with the Portuguese snacks will take place in the well preserved tasting room of the manor house. After a refreshing experience we will re-board our coach and make our way back to the beautiful SeaDream yacht.

  • Tangier - Tetouan – The White Dove

    Description

    Discover Tetouan's unique blend of Arabic and Spanish architecture, wander the charming streets of the old medina, and experience the city's rich artisan culture at the Museum of Moroccan Arts.

    The architecture in Tetouan is a harmonious and fascinating blend of Arabic and Spanish styles, reflecting the town’s bicultural ancestry. Although Spanish is now rarely heard in Tetouan, the Spanish culture still plays a significant part in the life of the city. Andalusian music has remained dominant and trade with Ceuta, the Spanish enclave that is only about 25 miles away, keeps alive the historic links between the Arabic and Spanish culture.

    Your visit starts with the main gate of the Royal Palace at Place Hassan II, together with some of the Spanish colonial architecture seen in the new town outside the medina around the Place Moulay El Mehdi (which lies just outside the world heritage property). Stroll around town to admire its little white homes representing a mix of Arab and Andalusian cultures, surrounded by lush vegetation. You can wander through the narrow streets of the old medina and souks, discovering all the hidden corners. Stop at a traditional teahouse to enjoy a refreshing glass of mint tea and Moroccan pastries. Conclude your visit of the Medina by an exit from one of its seven decorated gates Bab El Akla, the old town eastern gate looking onto the Museum of Moroccan Arts or Artisan School, where traditional art and craft skills are being kept alive and where the artisans are working on wood painting, embroidery, mosaics, copper, leather, stucco or inlaid wood with the same expertise as their ancestors four centuries ago.

  • Puerto Banus - Mijas & Modern Masterpieces

    Description

    Explore the captivating charm of Spanish country life as you venture beyond Puerto Banus' bustling port. Meander through the quaint, cobbled lanes of this picturesque village and be captivated by its allure, offering artists a haven with breathtaking panoramic vistas of the Mediterranean Sea.

    Continue the guided walking tour towards the bullring. The Mijas bullring is quirky because of its unusual shape. It was built near the castle in 1900 due to high demand from the people of the area. However, because of the irregular shape and lie of the land where it was to be situated, it meant that they had to build an oval shape rather than the usual circle - making it unique in Spain.

    Next on the itinerary is the Contemporary Art Center of Mijas, a venue boasting a prestigious connection with iconic cities like Paris, New York, Madrid, Barcelona, and Málaga. Located in the heart of Mijas village, this art museum proudly exhibits the works of Pablo Picasso. Inside, you'll find a captivating private collection featuring 400 original masterpieces, including some of Picasso's renowned works and the world's second-largest collection of Picasso ceramics. This remarkable display also showcases artworks from acclaimed artists and friends such as George Braque, Foujita, Salvador Dalí, and Joan Miró.
