Day 4-6

walvis bay, namibia

Arrival: 13:00 - Departure: 18:00

Walvis Bay, which means "Whale Bay" is a city in Namibia with a population of about 80,000, is located in the bay of the same name, in the west of the country. The bay has been a refuge for ships due to its port of natural depths, protected by a tongue of sand from Punta Pelicano. Being rich in plankton and maritime life, these waters brought large numbers of whales that attracted whaling ships and fishing vessels. A succession of settlers exploited the position and resources of this strategic port facility. The value of the port in relation to the sea route around the Cape of Good Hope had attracted the attention of the world powers since they discovered it. This explains the complicated political status of Walvis Bay over the years. The city is at the end of the Trans-Namib Railway to Windhoek, and on the B2 road. The attractions of Walvis Bay include the artificial Bird Island, the center of a guano collection industry, the Dune 7 sand dune, and a museum. In Walvis Bay we can also find impressive sea salt mines as well as several companies related to fishing.

Day 16

las palmas

Arrival: 07:00 - Departure: 17:00

There are two sides to Las Palmas holidays – Las Canteras Beach and the historic old town of Vegueta. The coastline offers golden sands and great surfing, while the city centre features the pedestrian shopping street Calle Triana and the Gothic-style Santa Ana Cathedral. Spanish travellers especially enjoy the lively local atmosphere, traditional Canarian cuisine and year-round sunshine.

Cosmopolitan capital

Perched on Gran Canaria’s northern coast, Las Palmas blends beach life with city style. Two beautiful stretches of sand run for around four kilometres, alongside chic boutiques, bustling market-style streets and elegant squares popular for evening strolls and dining.

Big beaches

Sightseeing often takes a back seat to sunbathing here. The city boasts two scenic bays, with Playa de las Canteras ranked among Europe’s best urban beaches. It offers surf schools in the south and calmer, reef-protected waters in the north, plus a seafront promenade lined with cafés and tapas bars loved by Spanish visitors.

City sightseeing

Las Palmas’ charming old quarter, Vegueta, is perfect for exploring. Visitors can climb Santa Ana Cathedral, admire historic architecture and visit the Christopher Columbus museum. A 20-minute drive away, the Caldera de Bandama offers impressive views of a 2,000-year-old volcanic crater.

Day 18

tangier, morocco

Arrival: 09:00 - Departure: 20:00

Tangier, perched at the meeting point of the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, is one of Morocco’s most atmospheric gateways. Long a crossroads for traders, writers, and spies, the city blends North African tradition with European and Middle Eastern influences. Whitewashed houses climb the hills above the bay, palm trees line the avenues, and across the water you can glimpse the coast of Spain on a clear day. Start your visit in the old medina, a maze of narrow streets, blue-painted doors, and lively markets. Here you’ll find the Grand Socco, the bustling square that separates the medina from the modern city, and the Petit Socco, once the haunt of writers and artists. Climb to the Kasbah for panoramic views over the strait, then explore its quiet lanes, restored riads, and the Kasbah Museum, housed in a former sultan’s palace. Beyond the old town, Tangier’s modern side reveals wide boulevards, Belle Époque facades, and a long seafront promenade. Cafés like the historic Café Hafa, terraced above the cliffs, invite you to linger over mint tea while watching ferries come and go. Beachfront hotels, contemporary restaurants, and stylish bars make the city a comfortable base for both short stays and longer explorations. Tangier also serves as an ideal starting point for day trips. To the west, the dramatic Cap Spartel marks the official meeting of the seas, while the nearby Caves of Hercules combine myth and natural beauty. Inland, rolling hills give way to rural villages and forested landscapes. Whether you’re arriving from Europe or connecting to other Moroccan cities, Tangier offers a vivid introduction to the country’s culture, history, and coastal charm.

Day 20

palma de mallorca, spain

Arrival: 03:00

Palma de Mallorca, the vibrant capital of Spain’s Balearic Islands, is a city where beach life, history, and Mediterranean charm blend effortlessly. Stroll along the palm-lined seafront promenade, Passeig Marítim, and you’ll see luxury yachts bobbing in the harbor, terraced cafés buzzing with locals and visitors, and the golden silhouette of the city’s Gothic cathedral dominating the skyline. With over 300 days of sunshine a year, Palma is an ideal base for exploring the island or simply soaking up the relaxed coastal atmosphere. At the heart of the city stands La Seu, the magnificent cathedral that has watched over Palma’s bay for centuries. Its soaring buttresses and intricate façade are impressive from a distance, but step inside to admire the colorful stained glass, including one of the largest rose windows in the world, and design elements reimagined by Antoni Gaudí. Just a short walk away, the Royal Palace of La Almudaina and the labyrinth of narrow streets in the old town reveal Palma’s layered past—from Moorish rule to medieval Christian reconquest. Palma is also a city for leisurely discovery. Get lost in the historic quarter among honey-colored stone buildings, hidden courtyards, and boutiques tucked into centuries-old houses. Pause in a traditional café for an ensaïmada, the island’s famous spiral pastry, or sample fresh seafood and tapas at the lively Mercat de l’Olivar. As evening falls, the city’s terraces fill with people enjoying a glass of local wine or a gin and tonic while the sun sets over the bay. Beyond the urban core, Palma offers easy access to some of Mallorca’s most beautiful beaches and scenic routes. A short drive or bus ride brings you to sandy coves with turquoise waters, while inland roads lead to charming villages such as Valldemossa and Deià in the Tramuntana mountains. Whether you’re drawn by culture, cuisine, nightlife, or nature, Palma de Mallorca is a destination that invites you to slow down, explore, and savor the Mediterranean way of life.
