About the trip
This cruise along the Atlantic coast and Mediterranean edge starts from Newcastle and heads south to St Malo, whose ramparts speak of privateers and tides that can vary by 12 metres. Next is El Ferrol, a Spanish naval town serving as gateway to Santiago de Compostela, a city known nowadays for its cathedral rather than ships. After calling in Cadiz and Malaga on Spain’s southern coast, the ship rounds to Almeria and crosses to Ceuta, one of the Spanish enclaves on the African shore.
