➤Barcelona
The enchanting city of Barcelona is a visual delight, and has an atmosphere that combines elegance and sophistication with provincial charm. In exploring its streets you'll discover medieval romance in its Gothic quarter and the awe-inspiring delights of the fantastic and sometimes outrageous Art Nouveau architecture of Gaudi and his contemporaries. The funicular up to Tibidabo, or the cable car up Montjuic, both offer breathtaking views over this attractive city. Its skyline is perhaps most famous for Antoni Gaudi's masterwork, the still incomplete church of the Sagrada Familia, as well as the city's huge Gothic cathedral. The artistic legacy of Barcelona is one of the city's most appealing attributes, with museums containing extensive collections of the works of Miro and Picasso. Barcelona is also a shopper's paradise, with the city's flair for style reflected in its numerous boutiques and markets, open late into the evenings. As the sun sets, and the city's many bars and restaurants open, the night truly comes alive. Dinner is served at any time between nine o'clock and midnight, and the festivities around the bars and
nightclubs carry on well into the early hours of the morning. Barcelona is the commercial centre of the popular holiday region known as the Costa Brava, the northernmost Mediterranean seafront in Spain, as well as the Costa Dorada to the south. The coast is dotted with popular resort towns, many retaining their age-old charm, which can be easily reached from the city.

Mon 25 Aug 25: Palma de Mallorca
➤Palma capital of the autonomous region of the Balearic Islands, is a lively cosmopolitan city in true Spanish tradition, its centre forming a bustling maze of shopping centres, narrow lanes and restored buildings surrounded by ruined ancient city walls and modern boulevards. Like mainland Spain, Mallorca was under Moorish control between the ninth and 13th centuries until the re-conquest by Jaume I of Aragon. The Moorish heritage is still evident as are the remnants of Palma's golden years when it rose to wealth and prominence in the 15th century as the main port of call between Europe and Africa. Later, the city set on the beautiful bay Bahia de Palma became the favoured royal retreat for Fernando and Isabel, which helped it to become the popular Spanish beach holiday haunt and favourite weekend city break destination of the rich and famous. Despite the invasion of foreign tourists,s Palma has kept its local flavour particularly in its old quarter which is still lined by cafes and tapas bars. Often the native dialect of Mallorquin is the only language heard in the backstreets, a fine Palma de Mallorca trait. Palma de Mallorca boasts a huge variety of restaurants and has plenty to offer tourists. The biggest concentration of restaurants is in the centre of town at El Terreno and around the Paseo Maritimo. For some of Spain's best Basque food head to Koldo Royo. Palma de Mallorca's key activities centre around its nightlife,e and the town is well known for its foam parties, discos, bars and nightclubs. In fact some of Spain's biggest nightclubs are in Palma de Mallorca and the city is a great destination for those seeking a party. It is also a good shopping destination and shoppers will particularly enjoy exploring the streets of the old town. Of course, the city also has some interesting sightseeing attractions, including the beautiful La Seo Cathedral,l the fortress of Palau de l'Almudaina, the unusual Castell de Bellver and some good museums. Unfortunately, the city doesn't have good beaches,s but there are many nearby. Popular excursion destinations include the Aqualand theme park, a short drive away from the city, which is great fun for the whole family. There are several excellent golf courses around town as well as good hiking trails in the rocky Majorcan hills.

Tue 26 Aug 25: La Spezia
➤The city of La Spezia is located in Italy's Liguria region and is known for its picturesque setting and harbor. The city is situated on the Gulf of La Spezia, flanked by towering mountains. La Spezia's harbor is a popular gateway to the Cinque Terre, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Italy's most popular tourist destinations. The city is also home to a large naval base and shipyard. La Spezia has a long history dating back to Roman times. The city was an important maritime center during the Middle Ages and Renaissance. In more recent history, La Spezia was a key base for the Italian Navy during World War II. Today, La Spezia is a bustling city with a thriving economy and a vibrant cultural scene. The city is home to numerous museums, art galleries, and theaters. La Spezia is also a popular destination for food and wine lovers. The city's restaurants offer a variety of regional and international cuisine. La Spezia is an ideal base for exploring the Liguria region. The city's convenient location and excellent transportation network make it easy to access the region's many attractions.

Wed 27 Aug 25: Rome
➤Rome is like a living museum, liberally dotted with fascinating ruins, ancient relics and archaeological sites. Centuries are peeled back from the Eternal City with each new vista in this great metropolis of fearsome gladiators and gorgeous art. Vespas, sports cars and nippy Fiats speed past trendy sidewalk cafes, bistros and nightclubs, revealing the Rome of Fellini's La Dolce Vita, while the stark facades of the Stadio Olimpico reminds visitors of Mussolini's attempts to reinvent the architecture of the Caesars. For a taste of the Baroque, visitors need only climb the famous Spanish Steps, walk through the Piazza Navona or toss a coin into the beautiful Trevi Fountain. Renaissance splendour is best revealed in the Vatican Palace, specifically Michelangelo's efforts on the roof of the Sistine Chapel. From early Christian Basilicas and the Roman Forum to the Colosseum and the Pantheon, the sequence of history trails back to the dizzying heights of the empire. It may sound like a city of contrasts, but Rome's timeless magic lies in its ability to blend the old with the new. Empires have risen and fallen, old gods have
been replaced with the new, but Rome nonetheless remains.

Thu 28 Aug 25: Naples
➤Italy's third-largest city thrives on the chaos that prevails amid its busy streets. This is the place where pizza was allegedly invented, its restaurants continuing to serve some of Italy's finest cuisine. Sheltered by the Bay of Naples and dominated by the slopes of Mount Vesuvius, Naples is imbued with the best of nature's bounty. The city juxtaposes superb museums, Renaissance structures and Baroque churches, against crumbling tenement blocks and poor neighbourhoods. Noisy markets sell a collection of items, from high-quality fresh produce to fake designer goods. Roads are characteristically hectic with gung-ho moped drivers weaving wildly through the streets and frustrating traffic jams clogging the city's arteries. Despite these less refined elements, Naples is a fascinating destination and a great base from which to explore popular attractions like the Amalfi Coast, Pompeii and Herculaneum. The city's transport hub is located around the immense Piazza Garibaldi, on the east side of Naples., Southwest from here is the Piazza Bovio, and branching to the left of it, the Piazza Municipio and nearby Piazza del Plebiscito. On the watery edges are the Molo Beverollo and the Stazione Marittima, the point of departure for ferries. From the reaches of Spaccanapoli, one can explore the historic part of Naples with its numerous palaces and churches.
