la spezia, italy

Arrival: 07:00 - Departure: 20:00

The city of La Spezia is situated in the Liguria region of Northern Italy and serves as the capital of the province bearing the same name. It is nestled in the Gulf of La Spezia, also referred to as Golfo dei Poeti (of the poets), as it was once home to renowned English poets such as Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822) and George Byron (1788-1824). La Spezia is known for its commercial port, one of the most significant in Italy, but it also houses one of the country's largest military industries, OTO Melara. Despite La Spezia's modern appearance (most of its buildings were constructed after 1920), the surrounding area is rich in attractions. The region boasts picturesque villages like Lerici, Portovenere (a traditional fishing village), and the Cinque Terre, where a national Natural Park has been established. Cinque Terre, Portovenere, and the islands of Palmaria, Tino, and Tinetto have been recognized as world heritage sites by UNESCO.

cartagena, spain

Arrival: 11:00 - Departure: 20:00

Cartagena is the main seaport of the Murcia region.

Cartagena is a city rich in monuments, featuring numerous archaeological sites and remarkable buildings of historical interest, along with the allure of the sea and the typical hustle and bustle of a port city. The convergence of civilizations, its strategic harbor, and the rise of the local mining industry are reflected in its unique artistic heritage. This includes landmarks such as the Roman Theatre, the second largest on the Iberian Peninsula after the one in Mérida, a wealth of Phoenician, Roman, Byzantine, and Moorish remains, and a multitude of Art Nouveau buildings, a result of the early 20th-century bourgeoisie. Today, Cartagena is a major cruise ship destination in the Mediterranean and an emerging cultural hub.

Day 7

lisbon, portugal

Arrival: 07:00 - Departure: 17:00

Lisbon is recognized as the city of seven hills due to its geographical position, with the city sprawling across steep hillsides that overlook the Rio Tajo. The city, both romantic and cosmopolitan, showcases its characteristic red rooftops to visitors eager to explore every corner. Lisbon astonishes with its natural beauty and laid-back ambiance. The capital of Portugal boasts numerous museums, libraries, a vast port, churches, palaces, and breathtaking views of the Rio Tajo. Once considered a poor and chaotic city, Lisbon has undergone a revival reminiscent of the 14th and 15th centuries when it was part of a vast empire stretching from Brazil to India. This resurgence was sparked by the World Expo held in 1998, which led to the construction of a new bridge over the Tagus and the remodeling of the city's subway system. The city's revival continued when it hosted several matches during the 2004 Euro and the MTV Delivery Music Awards in 2005. Many of its most beautiful buildings date back to the 14th and 15th centuries, particularly those in the Belem district. There are also many 18th-century buildings, primarily located in the Baixa area of central Lisbon, which were almost entirely rebuilt after a devastating earthquake struck the city in 1755. The city's historic center, situated on Las Siete Colinas, features steep streets and charming alleys. On the city's west side is Monsanto Forest Park, known as Lisbon's lung, which spans 10 km and is one of the largest in Europe. The capital's impressive port has three docks frequently used for various cruises and is currently the busiest port on the European Atlantic coast. Lisbon is a city with centuries of history and an ambitious outlook, blending the historical with the modern, the traditional with the avant-garde. As you wander through the old quarters, you can hear the traditional Fado music being sung and played in small local restaurants. In the hilltop district of Bairro Alto, dozens of restaurants and bars line the narrow streets, with the sounds of jazz, reggae, and electronica filling the air and party-goers celebrating until dawn. Nightclubs scattered throughout the city creatively utilize old spaces, whether on riverside docks or tucked away in 18th-century mansions. Lisbon presents itself to the world as a cosmopolitan and vibrant city, offering something for everyone, especially during the summer months when its many bars, terraces, and restaurants are bustling with people.
