This journey follows the old trading routes of the Iberian peninsula and crosses to Morocco by ferry. You see Madrid, Seville, Lisbon, Fes and Marrakech, along with the tile work and gardens that make this region so photogenic.
Afternoons in the warmer months are kept free, and we schedule sightseeing early when the light is soft and the streets are quiet.
