Palamos is a gateway to Costa Brava and Catalonia, with monasteries in the mountains, surreal art, and beautiful beaches. Its rugged coast of red cliffs, golden sands, and blue coves reflects Spain's Wild Coast, and it's known for rich prawns. Nearby Girona offers a walkable medieval old town, rivers, ramparts, and the vast Gothic nave of its cathedral. Close by, Figueres is home to Salvador Dalí's wild, immersive Theatre-Museum.

Built around a sheltered bay beneath Mount Faron, Toulon is a major naval port, industrial city, and base of the French navy's Mediterranean fleet. Napoleon first rose to fame here in the 1793 siege. In WWII, the French fleet was scuttled to avoid capture, and the city was liberated in 1944. Old Toulon's pedestrian streets, waterfront Avenue de la République, and Naval Museum are main sights, though many visitors use the city as a base for the Riviera and hinterland.

Cartagena, in Murcia, is a historic port shaped by many cultures since its founding by the Carthaginians in 227 BC. Explore Calle Mayor's ruins and modernist architecture, then ride up to Castillo de la Concepción for views over the harbour. See the preserved Roman Theatre, wander the waterfront, enjoy tapas, and watch Semana Santa processions.

Experience a Silversea Luxury Cruise while discovering Spain! Explore the charming city of Valencia and let yourself be tranported by the folkloric atmosphere.

Mallorca is a rugged Spanish Mediterranean island known for cuisine, culture, and sunlit beaches. Palma de Mallorca, its capital, blends living history, bustling markets, cafes, promenades, and intense flavors. Its old town is cobbled and lively, with the great cathedral, Le Seu, and nearby La Almudaina fortress reflecting Moorish and royal history.

Tarragona, 60 miles southwest of Barcelona, is a cultural center with beaches, marinas, golf, and major Roman ruins. Once second only to Rome, Tarraco still has city walls, amphitheater, Forum, aqueducts, and the Circus. The old town, wine country, and bodegas are highlights. Your ship docks at Muelle Costa, about 0.5 mile from town; taxis are usually available. Shop on Rambla Nova, in the market, and the old town. Local cuisine features seafood, olive oil, nuts, vegetables, and romesco.

Alcúdia is the ideal base for Mallorca's north coast: a 13-km beach from Port d'Alcúdia to C'an Picafort, nearby Playa de Muro, the bird-rich S'Albufera wetlands, and the scenic drive to Cap de Formentor. The walled town is a small capsule of Mallorcan history: founded as a Roman settlement in 123 BC, later reestablished by the Moors, then held by the Knights Templar after the Reconquest. Start at the Church of Sant Jaume and stroll to Porta de Xara with its twin towers.
