We will then continue into Andalusia via Despeñaperros, arriving in Granada, where lunch will be included. Free time in the afternoon. We recommend visiting the Cathedral, which houses the tomb of the Catholic Monarchs, or strolling through the Albaicín neighborhood and enjoying the beautiful views of the Alhambra from the Mirador de San Nicolás.Note: We remind you that the tour you have purchased does not include admission to the Alhambra in Granada.

Departing from Granada, we´ll traverse the Costa del Sol. Upon reaching Algeciras or Tarifa, we´ll board a modern ferry to cross the Strait of Gibraltar (tickets included).

There will be time for lunch before we head to Rabat. Upon arrival in Rabat, dinner will be included.

We’ll go on a panoramic tour of Rabat to visit the immense Royal Palace, the Mausoleum of Mohammed V and the mighty Kasbah of the Udayas.
