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 at a family vineyard...

Set sail for a 13-day Spain and Portugal cruise adventure aboard your Windstar yacht, view monuments to heroes past in Lisbon at Jéronimos Monastery church, Belém Tower and the Coach Museum or the Maritime Museum. Drive to Sintra for a palace visit and indulge in the village charms of seaside Cascais. Explore the countryside towns and rock formations of Portimão and get a taste of local life at a family owned vineyard. In Spain, take a sightseeing tour of old Seville, sizzling with a passionate flamenco performance; experience British traditions and monkeys in Gibraltar; and in Málaga, sip sherry and sample tapas as you watch a private horse show at a typical Andalucían manor house before exploring the city where Pablo Picasso was born. The Moorish Alhambra Palace and Generalife Gardens take your breath away during a full day ashore in Granada and on the island of Palma de Mallorca, visits to the Cathedral and Bellver Castle. A two-night stay in Barcelona bookends this Iberian cruise to introduce you to Catalan cuisine and wow you with a private visit to the Music Palace, a walk in whimsical Parc Güell, and an opportunity to view the fantastical images of Gaudí's La Sagrada Família; a choice of Barcelona sightseeing excursion includes a look inside the medieval maze that is Barri Gòtic or a walking tour of the amazing architectural highlights along Passeig de Gràcia. Welcome aboard!

Private Hacienda Visit, Málaga

Private hacienda visit, performance & tapas tasting

Disembark in Málaga for a Tauck Exclusive. At a traditional manor house in Málaga, whet your appetite for a tapas and sherry tasting; take a tour of the stables and bullring; and enjoy a private dressage presentation with the high-stepping Andalucían horses that are trained here.

La Seu

Visit the "Cathedral of Light" in Palma de Mallorca

On a sightseeing excursion through the streets of Palma today, you'll have an opportunity to view this incredible piece of 13th-century-inspired architecture, Palma Cathedral (also known as Le Seu). Made of golden sandstone, the 121 m. tall cathedral started construction in 1229 by the "Crown of Aragon," King James I, only to be finished nearly 400 years later in 1601!

Private tour of Palau de la Música Catalana

Palau de la Música Catalana

A Tauck Exclusive awaits on a private visit to Palau de la Música Catalana, a concert hall in Barcelona that is an architectural jewel of Catalan Art Nouveau, early morning before it opens to the public. The masterpiece boasts magnificent arches, stained glass windows, and a domed skylight that illuminates the auditorium with natural light during the day.

Discover Tapas, Spain's unique variety of appetizer

Discover Tapas, Spain's unique variety of appetizer

As you continue your travels through Spain, you'll have opportunities along the way to enjoy the Spanish snack known as "Tapas." Tapas (stemming from the Spanish verb, tapar meaning " to cover") are small portions of Spanish cuisine that are enjoyed with drinks before a meal or (as tapas have evolved) as the meal itself. The exact origin of tapas is unknown, but a popular theory is that patrons in taverns would cover their sherry with thin slices of bread and salted meat to protect against fruit flies between sips. It is very common for a restaurant to have between eight to twelve different varieties of tapas on their menu, many of which are flavored with spices including cumin, paprika, chiles, saffron and garlic. Enjoy the many varieties you'll see throughout the nation utilizing a plethora of local ingredients.

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.
