Rest at sea or optional excursion to Gibraltar (surcharge 49 €).

Gibraltar is a tiny territory with an area of only about 6.5 km², administered by the United Kingdom. This corner of Southern Europe surprisingly combines the English spirit and Andalusian flavor: red telephone booths, British currency and cozy pubs create the feeling that you have been transported to London, only under the gentle Mediterranean sun.

A city tour will introduce you to its unique atmosphere, rich history and culture.

One of the highlights will be a visit to the Alameda Botanical Garden — a green oasis with exotic plants, palms and cacti, where you can enjoy a leisurely stroll.

A special highlight is the meeting with the inhabitants of the Rock, the Barbary macaques, the only wild and tailless monkeys in Europe. No less impressive is the visit to the famous St. Michael's Cave, where an impressive light show takes place.

This excursion will give unforgettable impressions: from a walk through cozy streets and green gardens to breathtaking views from the legendary Rock. Gibraltar is a place where history, myths and nature merge together, leaving a bright mark in the heart.

Wine has been produced in the town since Roman times. Nowadays, the city has a wine museum and shops selling locally produced wines.

Malaga is a large port city with a charming historical center, which can be explored in a day, with modern areas with skyscrapers and large shopping centers. Assumed logically two popular tourist activities follow from here: shopping and walks through winding streets with plenty of greenery and flowers around.

Artist Picasso and actor Banderas were born here, hence the many museums, streets and restaurants and hotels named after the first, the second is simply adored. For the sake of justice, let us indicate two facts: Picasso lived in Malaga only in infancy, but the collection of his works in a new building specially built for this purpose is really very worthy.

Return to the hotel. Rest.

In the afternoon, excursion to Cordoba.

Cordoba is a city in Andalusia, the capital of the province of the same name on the banks of the Guadalquivir River. Once, until the 10th century, the city numbered about a million people and was one of the largest, most educated and prosperous cities in Europe. Philosophers, poets and rulers lived here, and people of all cultures and religions walked its streets.

We will begin our walk along the Roman Bridge — the ancient guardian of Cordoba, which observed how the city changed over the centuries. From the bridge opens a beautiful view of the old center, and it seems as if time slows down. Further the road leads to the Synagogue of Cordoba and into the mysterious Jewish Quarter with its narrow streets, white houses and floral courtyards. Here every wall keeps traces of history. A little further — Moorish baths, where you can imagine life in the era of the Caliphate. In Cordoba you will discover many historical sights reflecting the rich past of the city.

But Cordoba is not only stones and streets. It is a city of people whose names are known to the whole world. Based here was philosopher Seneca, whose reflections on resilience and virtue sound today. Thinker Averroes and physician-philosopher Maimonides created here, and later lived poet Luis de Gongora, who glorified Spain in the Golden Age era.

Free time.

After the sightseeing tour, those who wish can visit the main pride of the city — the Mosque-Cathedral (Mezquita-Catedral de Córdoba), one of the most amazing architectural monuments in Europe and a symbol of Andalusia, which is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and recognized as one of the 12 treasures of Spain. This pearl rightfully enters the list of places that are definitely worth seeing at least once in a life (entrance tickets ~ 13 € for an extra charge).

The dimensions of the Mezquita are impressive: the building extends 180 × 130 meters, occupying an area of over 23,000 m². Once it was the second largest mosque in the world after Mecca, and still remains one of the most significant monuments of Islamic architecture in Europe. This place amazes with a combination of Islamic and Christian traditions: the once majestic Umayyad mosque was turned into a cathedral, while preserving the unique features of oriental architecture. Entering inside, you find yourself in a real "forest of columns": hundreds of elegant supports made of marble, jasper and granite support curved white-red arches, creating an endless play of light and shadow. The luxuriously decorated mihrab and openwork domes amaze with the refined beauty and skill of ancient architects.

A visit to the Mezquita is not just an excursion, but an unforgettable journey through the centuries, which leaves a strong emotional impression and a desire to return again.
