The Route
Málaga
7 nights
Gran Canaria
How the route could go:
-
Málaga · Embarkation
On the Costa del Sol in Andalusia on Spain's southern Mediterranean coast lies Málaga at the foot of the El Torcal mountains. Birthplace of Pablo Picasso, the city is today a major cultural hub with the Picasso Museum, the Moorish Alcazaba from the 11th century, the Roman theatre ruins and a lively harbour quarter around the Muelle Uno.
-
Casablanca
Casablanca is Morocco's economic heart. The Hassan II Mosque on the Atlantic (one of the tallest minarets in the world at 210 m), the Art Deco architecture of the city centre and the charm of the Quartier Habous make Casablanca North Africa's most modern city.
-
Safi
On Morocco's Atlantic coast, Safi rises around its old medina and a Portuguese fortress overlooking the harbour. The town is celebrated for its pottery workshops and sardine fisheries.
-
Arrecife / Lanzarote
Arrecife is the capital of Lanzarote. The whole island is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve thanks to the artist César Manrique, who merged volcanic landscape and architecture. Timanfaya National Park with active volcanic geothermal features is a natural wonder.
-
Santa Cruz de Tenerife
The capital of Tenerife is known for the Auditorio Calatrava at the harbour, its museums and the world's second-largest carnival after Rio. Tenerife lies just 300 kilometres off the African coast and benefits from a mild climate all year round.
-
Gran Canaria · Disembarkation
Gran Canaria combines extraordinary natural diversity in a small area: the Maspalomas dunes in the south, cloud forests in the centre, volcanic cliffs in the north. Las Palmas offers an elegant colonial Old Town (Vegueta, UNESCO World Heritage) and a modern port.
The route of a sailing voyage may change without giving rise to mutual claims.
