Discover memorable places along the way with an optional private stop.
Discover Cacela Velha, a small whitewashed village overlooking the eastern section of the Ria Formosa. Its elevated position offers panoramic views across the lagoon, sandbanks and Atlantic coastline, while the compact centre retains a peaceful traditional atmosphere.
Discover Seville, the capital of Andalusia and one of southern Spain’s great cultural cities. Monumental architecture, historic neighbourhoods, lively plazas and excellent gastronomy make it suitable for anything from a short walk to a longer city visit.
