Porto & Alicante

Porto, a coastal city in northwest Portugal, is known for its stately bridges, port wine production, and historic city center. Visit the stunning Church of São Francisco, explore the historic Ribeira District, or take a cruise on the Douro River. Porto's bustling markets, traditional Fado music, and the annual São João Festival make it a city full of character and charm.

Alicante, the charming Spanish city on the Costa Blanca, offers sun-drenched beaches and a lively old town, Casco Antiguo, filled with narrow streets, colorful houses, and bustling markets. Ascend to the hilltop Castle of Santa Barbara for panoramic views, or enjoy a leisurely stroll along the Explanada de España, a palm-lined promenade along the city's marina.
