Las Palmas on Gran Canaria is, after Madrid and Barcelona, the most populous city in Spain. The long urban beach Las Canteras, the Vegueta Old Town with the Casa de Colón (where Christopher Columbus stayed in 1492) and the hinterland with the Maspalomas dunes define the island.

Funchal, capital of Madeira, is surrounded by green hills laced with levada walking paths - small irrigation channels running through laurel and eucalyptus forests. Excursions to Monte include the famous wicker toboggan ride back down to town; Madeira-wine lodges and the Botanical Garden are also on the must-do list.

MON · 12 Apr 2027LissabonArrival 07:00
Built on seven hills, Lisbon blends a southern European sense of life with a great history of discovery. From the Tower of Belém, Vasco da Gama and other navigators set out into the unknown - yellow trams and the melancholic Fado still tell the tale today.
