Cultural journeys and expeditions

Chart a course for a treasure trove of Iberian discoveries along the trade routes of the first Portuguese and Spanish explorers... discovering monuments of heroes past, ancient rock formations, and embracing local life...

Set sail for a 13-day Spain and Portugal cruise adventure aboard your Windstar yacht. A two-night stay in Barcelona bookends this Iberian cruise, introducing you to Catalan cuisine and wowing you with a private visit to the Palau de la Música Catalana, a walk in whimsical Park Güell, and an opportunity to view the fantastical vision of Gaudí's unfinished La Sagrada Família. Continue sightseeing in Barcelona with your choice — whether that's a look inside the medieval maze of Barri Gòtic or a walking tour of the architectural highlights along Passeig de Gràcia. Board your cruise bound for Portugal, taking in sightseeing on the island of Palma de Mallorca with visits to its cathedral and Bellver Castle. Sip sherry and sample tapas as you watch a private horse show at a typical Andalusian manor house before exploring Málaga, the city where Pablo Picasso was born — and one that will stay with you long after your journey ends. Before Portugal, experience British traditions and monkeys in Gibraltar, and explore Seville, including a flamenco performance. Two nights in Lisbon allow time for a drive to Sintra for a palace visit and to indulge in the village charms of seaside Cascais, plus visits to monuments to heroes past at Jerónimos Monastery, Belém Tower, and the Maritime Navy Museum. Welcome aboard – and welcome to the Iberian Peninsula!

Visit the Alhambra Palace

Discovering Granada's magnificent Alhambra Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site

Originally a small 9th-century fortress that had fallen into disrepair, Granada's famed Moorish palace and UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Alhambra, was reconstructed to become a royal palace and a "paradise on Earth" by the Moorish caliphs who ruled here in the 13th century. A century later, now in Spanish hands, it became Ferdinand and Isabella's Royal Court; even later, a Renaissance palace was built on the site. So you'll encounter tons of history as you tour the palace itself and stroll through the Generalife, the grounds of the summer palace of former sultans.

El Palace Barcelona

A 20th-century classic reborn for the 21st

Nearly a century after it opened in the heart of Barcelona near Las Ramblas – and soon became one of Spain's leading luxury hotels – the El Palace Barcelona emerges from an ambitious and comprehensive refurbishment designed to recapture the classic style and splendor of its greatest years. The hotel's public areas, presidential suites and standard rooms have been carefully restored with handmade carpets, restored antiques and exact replicas of objects such as lamps and curtains... and on the 7th floor, the romantic new Diana Garden sports more than fifty species of plants, fountains, pergolas and a pool, all inspired by the Barcelona of the 1920s.

Our Tour coordinator was excellent! She made the trip come alive. Her knowledge of the places we visited and the unique things Tauck planned for us made this trip A1.
