Port-Vendres, in the Occitanie region of France, is a pleasant port town known for its deep-water harbour.

The compelling city of Mahón is the capital of Menorca, one of Spain’s Balearic Islands. Mahón’s uniquely shaped, deep harbour is among the largest in the world.

Day 5 Palma de Mallorca, Spain (B,L,D)
Palma de Mallorca, the capital of Spain’s Balearic Islands, is a city steeped in history and adorned with remarkable architecture. One of Palma’s most notable landmarks is the stunning Cathedral of Santa Maria, a masterpiece of Gothic architecture with one of the largest rose windows — a decorated circular window with stained glass — in the world.
Day 6 Ibiza, Spain (B,L,D)
Ibiza’s party scene is world-renowned, attracting thousands of visitors each year. The island, just off the coast of Spain, has become synonymous with electronic dance music, luxury, and late-night revelry.
