8 Nights Europe

Situated in a large natural bay, the capital of Tenerife in the Canary Islands has a stunning backdrop of the Anaga mountains. The manner in which the city bay embraces the sea with two arms is emblematic of the welcoming spirit of the city's inhabitants.

Arrecife, the capital of Lanzarote, is a quiet, beautiful port city situated on the eastern coast of the island. Sharing prominence in its urban layout are the streets of the historic centre, filled with shops, and popular neighbourhoods. Not forgetting the many museums and historic buildings which permit Arrecife to enjoy an active cultural life. 

Puerto del Rosario is a busy port and the capital of Fuerteventura, one of Spain's Canary Islands. It's known for its whitewashed houses and open-air artworks, including giant snail sculptures along the harbor promenade. Close to the harbor, Playa Chica is a sheltered beach with clear waters. Playa Blanca, to the south, has strong surf. Shops line León y Castillo and the pedestrianized Primero de Mayo streets.

A far cry from the sleepy dive town immortalized in the movie of the same name, Casablanca is a busting, brassy city and one of Africa's largest ports. Portuguese, Arab, Spanish and French influences give the city an allure unlike any other in the world.

The capital of Catalonia boasts the bustle of the world's busiest seaport, the medieval romance of its Gothic Quarter, and a feast of Catalan Art Nouveau buildings - including the great creations of Antonio Gaudí. The "Great Enchantress" remains one of the most exhilarating cities in Europe, decorated with the grandeur of Picasso, Miró and Dalí.

The "Eternal City", with its 2,700 years of ancient history, is simply incomparable. Its formidable legacy is rooted in a plethora of masterpieces, including The Sistine Chapel, the Colosseum, the Trevi Fountain, The Roman Forum, the Pantheon, the Spanish Steps, St. Peter's Basilica and Piazza Novana.
