Barcelona
Barcelona, the capital of Catalonia, is a jewel enclosed between sea and mountains, an en plein air museum to be discovered. Catalonia is an autonomous region whose indipendence has long been a subject of debate and is still a topic that divides opinion in the country. The region has its own language, culture and history, most visible in its Roman ruins, Gothic cathedral and modernist buildings. The city of Barcelona is the emblem of this unique culture. Barcelona is the most cosmopolitan city in Spain and one of the most busiest port in the Mediterranean. In summer, the beautiful beaches of this city are a magnet for beach lovers. Beautiful beaches are not the only the reason why Barcelon is one of the most loved destionations for tourists.
The city is a symbol of the the artistic, culinary and cultural avant-garde: visit the Sagrada Familia and the other visionary architectural works of Antoni Gaudi, La Pedrera, Casa Batlllò or Park Guell. For sports lovers, a visit to Camp Nou is not to be missed, while for art lovers here is the Picasso Museum, the Caixa Forum, the MNAC or the Miró Museum. If you want to taste the local cuisine, restaurants and bars are the right choice. They are always crowded as the sea in summer. An holiday aboard a cruise offers the opportunity to visit this beautiful city and immerse yourself in this unique atmosphere.
Tanger
The city of Tangier (in Arabic طنجة, Tanja; in Latin Tingis) is a port in northern Morocco. Located at the entrance to the Strait of Gibraltar, at the meeting point between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic Ocean, the beautiful Tangier presents an unforgettable landscape that for centuries has attracted generations of artists, including Eugène Delacroix, Camille Saint-Saëns, Pierre Loti and Paul Morand. With its temperate climate, important vegetation, its luminosity and the strip of beach that extends for 3 km in a distinct way, Tangier seduces thousands of tourists every year. Its history makes it a mythical city, a land of relentless occupations and colonizations. The Old Medina preserves memories of Muslim influence: as soon as you cross the threshold, you will be assailed by the smells and perfumes of the Grand Socco literally known as the great soukh. Merchants in traditional costume will convince you to buy traditional clothes of the country and genuine leather products. A few meters away, you can also admire the Sidi Bou Abid Mosque, a favorite attraction for visitors. But be careful: entry to this place of worship is forbidden to non-Muslims. On the contrary, the modern city of Tangier, has preserved the French architectural experience, distinguishing itself The Grand Café de Paris, one of its fundamental pillars. Tangier is certainly one of those cities that must be deeply known to discover its wonders.
Casablanca
Casablanca is the cosmopolitan, industrial and economic heart of Morocco and represents a developing Nation.
Casablanca is where money was made, where industry is, where art galleries show the best contemporary art and where stylists have a window on the world. The old pirate lair is projected into the future, showing its riches and successes. Casablanca is full of contradictions. It is home to suffocating traffic jams, social problems and slums, as well as wide avenues, well-kept public parks, fountains and a surprising colonial architecture. Rich Hispano-Moresque, Art Deco and modernist gems to be discovered in the city center are the modernist symbol of Casablanca, like the huge and incredibly ornate Hassan II Mosque.
