Activities

At your home port in Barcelona, Spain, if there's one thing you can't miss it's the architectural marvels of famed Catalan architect Antoni Gaudi in the Gothic Quarter. Gaze up at the spiraling La Sagrada Familia church, his iconic unfinished masterpiece, in awe and wonder.

Villefranche—renowned for a collection of historic French monuments, such as its 16th-century citadel—offers easy access to the nearby upscale seaside communities of Nice and Monaco.

While in Palma, spend the day wandering the labyrinthine streets of the Old City and then explore the grand 13th-century La Seu cathedral and the striking 11th-century Arabian Baths.

Shopping

Barcelona is a world-class city with shopping to match. Stroll along La Rambla and its cross streets for a sensational selection of stores and restaurants from family-operated boutiques to large chain retailers.

In Nice, there are plenty of shops and galleries all over the city, but you may want to start in the historic old city where you can find artisans who have perfected their crafts—from candies to clothing.

Activities

Palma, Nice and Barcelona all have glorious stretches of sandy beaches, and many of the beaches rent windsurfing and other water-sports gear. Palma's hilly terrain makes it the perfect place to hike as well. And the island of Majorca is known as a paradise for golfers, especially those who are fortunate enough to get a tee time at Son Vida Club de Golf.
