Day 5: Alicante
Alicante is a multi-faceted city. Constantly changing around every corner as you stroll around. Its port is similar to most other Spanish ports. The Playa del Postiguet is an expanse of soft creamy sand with an ample supply “to rent” sun loungers, parasols, cabana beds, beach volleyball courts and ocean-view bars. Whilst the Explanada de Espana is a perfectly straight street of waterside restaurants, sidewalk cafes and the odd craft stall. The historic part of the city is to the North and well worth a visit, particularly the 16th century castle of Santa Barbara.
Day 6: Barcelona
Barcelona combines everything that is most charming about Mediterranean cities – a relaxed pace, months of endless sunshine, unbeatable food – with the cultural and design sophistication of almost any city in the northern hemisphere. Its patchwork of architectural styles displays dark, Gothic façades next to the harlequin buildings of the Modernistas and the skyline-piercing constructions of Jean Nouvel or Herzog and de Meuron, and a day spent admiring them can be topped off with a sun downer on one of the city’s seven beaches before dinner at any number of Michelin-starred gastronomic temples or humble, family-run tapas bars.
Day 7: Cannes
Cannes is of course famed mostly for its 10-day film festival held in May each year. The old town, called Le Suquet is quaint but small and whilst there are plenty of very up market shops in La Croisette, a tree lined boulevard whose prices may well take your breath away!
Day 8: Livorno
Livorno.is claimed to be the cradle of the Renaissance and is home to the Uffizi Gallery which is only rivaled by the Louvre for its collection of Renaissance masterpieces. You can also make your way to the world-famous tower of Pisa which took over 177 years to build and has been leaning since construction began in 1173
Day 9: Civitavecchia (Rome)
Civitavecchia (Rome) is often described as the Eternal City and is filled with breath taking treasurers of almost every description – The Vatican’s Sistine Chapel, St Peter’s Basilica, the Colosseum, and the Trevi Fountain where a tossed coin promises your return to this city of Romance. Take a walk along the famous (and expensive) Via Veneto which came to fame in the 1960’ as the centre of la dolce vita (the sweet life) attracting jet setters from around the world.
Day 10: At Sea
