Ferry crossings over the Strait of Gibraltar afford you spectacular views of the Rock. There’s a full day at leisure at the Costa del Sol, so you can enjoy the sandy beaches, browse the shops, or join an optional excursion to the Rock of Gibraltar. An overnight in Tangier gives you a nice taste of Morocco and features a panoramic drive to Cap Spartel and a guided visit to the colorful Grand Socco square.

These are just a few of the many highlights on this wonderful trip to Spain, Portugal, and Morocco—a trip of a lifetime!
