The name of Coruna's cruise dock - Transatlantic Quay - reflects its location on the northwestern tip of the Iberian Peninsular making it - you might be surprised to learn - the closest European port to New York. It is a charming mixture of old town and new town also with a couple of beaches along the two-mile stretch of coastline it overlooks. The colonnaded Maria Pita Square is at the heart of the old town, with many shops, bars and restaurants all around. There are various fascinating museums including the interactive House of Mankind plus an aquarium and planetarium. La Coruña is also the main Atlantic gateway to one of the most ruggedly scenic regions in Spain - Galicia. Among its attractions is one of the worlds great pilgrimage destinations: Santiago de Compostela, with its Romanesque cathedral.
Gijon is a green coastal city in northwest Spain. It's lovely seaside setting in the centre of Asturias with its own unique and delicious gastronomy. The region boasts a fascinating collection of museums, sculptures, architecture, beautiful plazas and peaceful gardens.
And the region has its own unique and delicious gastronomy. One of the city's great treasures is the spectacular Atlantic Botanical Garden, which was the first botanical garden in the north of Spain. The historic fishing village, Cimadevilla, is located on a peninsula that divides the port in half. And there's a great aquarium with both fresh and saltwater displays. The Campo Valds Roman Baths date back to the time of Augustus in the 1st century AD, and there are other reminders of the ancient Romans visible downtown. There's also plenty to discover in the beautiful, rural countryside of northern Spain, including the prehistoric cave paintings at Cantabria.
Santander, is located on the northern coast of Spain and enjoys a stunning location nestled on a small peninsular jutting between the waters of the Bay of Santander and the seas of the Bay of Biscay. The area surrounding the city is lined with 11 sandy beaches, which are perfect for sun worshipers and water sports enthusiasts alike. The area of El Sardinero in times past was famed as a resort by Spain's richest citizens. Their patronage has resulted in a beautiful area of beaches, divided by the gardens of Piquio, stretching from the Magdalena Peninsula to Mataleas. The area also boasts hotels, cafes and even a casino. Those looking to discover Santander away from the beaches will find a city as historic as it is beautiful. The Cathedral of Santander was built between 13th and 14th centuries on top of proceeding holy buildings and combines Gothic and Romanesque architecture.
A charming destination in beautiful countryside, this is your chance to soak up the unique ambience of the South-West of France. Situated at Point de Grave, where water from the Atlantic meets the gushing Gironde estuary, Le Verdon will appeal to you if you love the great outdoors or fine wines. Offering a beguiling mix of forests and beaches, dunes and hiking paths there's plenty to do if you fancy an independent, active day ashore. The Fort of Verdon and the Cordouan Lighthouse (the oldest in France - visited by boat) are both local sights. Further afield, the Bordeaux wine region, covering some 270,000 acres, beckons. Home to over 5,000 wine chateaux and many famous vineyard regions including Medoc, Saint-Emilion, Sauternes, Entre-Deux-Mers, Cotes de Bourg and Libournais, this is a great place to sample the local vintages and learn more about the wine-making process. From scenic drives through vineyard countryside to tours of the cellars, or a trip to the resort of Soulac, a city with 500 neo-colonial villas and a UNESCO-listed basilica at the tip of Mdoc, Le Verdon acts as a gateway to many of the region's delights.
