Stretching below the watchful eye of the Castle of Gibralfaro is a lively and bustling city crammed with beautiful corners, such as the Alameda Principal, </span></span><span><span>the gardens of Puerta Oscura and Pedro Luis Alonso, the Park, and the beach promenade. </span></span><br /> <span><span>Historic Málaga offers countless spots and corners full of local colour. The Merced square, dominated by the Monument to Torrijos and where the house in which the famous painter Pablo Ruiz Picasso was born is situated. A tour of the historic quarter must take in the busy Pasaje de Chinitas, the old streets of the former jewish quarter and calle Larios, the old town's main thoroughfare. </span></span><br /> <span><span>Established in 1490, Santiago is Málaga's oldest church and it was built on the site of a former mosque. Only the central entrance in the Mudéjar style remains of the original façade. The square tower in the same style was conceived as a separate minaret and was attached to the church in the 16th century. From Calle Granada, a beautiful Almohad sebka (a grid of rhombuses) cloth can be seen in one of its sections. Pablo Ruiz Picasso, the brilliant painter who revolutionised 20th century art, was baptised here in 1881.</span></span><br /> <span><span>Pablo Picasso, the most important painter of the 20th century, was born in 1881 at number 15 Plaza de la Merced. Declared a Historic/Artistic Monument of National Interest in 1983, Casa Picasso began by occupying the first floor and now occupies the entire building. The property nestles in the architectural complex known as Casas de Campos (Rural Houses) where Don José Ruiz Blasco and Maria Picasso, Pablo Ruiz Picasso's parents, lived.  </span></span><br /> <span><span>Málaga's Roman Theatre is one of the remaining symbols of Roman Hispania in the city. In addition to the theatre itself, it has a modern interpretation centre where new technologies present the life and customs of the time. The Theatre has also been returned to its original use and different types of shows take place inside.</span></span><br />  <br /> <span><span>Buenavista Palace houses a permanent collection showing eight decades of work by Pablo Picasso, who was born in Málaga in 1881. The collection conveys the rigor and creativity of an artist who is essential to understand the history of Western art. Further, temporary exhibitions delve into the artistic context, while the program of activities proposes many ways to enjoy the arts. The collection features 233 works that cover 80 years of the painter's work, from 1892 to 1972. </span></span><br /> <span><span>In the centre stands the Cathedral (16th-18th centuries), also known as “la Manquita” because of its unfinished right tower. This temple, beautifully executed in the Renaissance style, preserves an interesting series of chapels which contain fine examples of Andalusian images. In the old town, other prominent churches are Santiago (15th-18th centuries), with a beautiful Mudejar tower and Sagrado Corazón. </span></span></p> Malaga: Ronda Full Day Excursion <p><span><strong>A drive through the rugged Serrania de Ronda will bring you to a broad open plateau surrounded on all sides by jagged mountains. Ronda stands on an enormous outcrop of rock.<em><span> </span></em>The centre of town is split by a Bridge built in the 18<sup>th</sup> century. Wander across the bridge and you are in La Ciudad (old town) inhabited in old days by groups of marauding bandits. During the course of the day you will also see the town’s impressive Cathedral, the Bullring, San Juan Bosco House and the Mondragón Palace. </strong></span><br /> <br /> <strong><span><span><span><span>9 hours tour</span></span></span></span></strong><br /> <strong><span><span><span><span><strong>Morning tour</strong><br /> <strong>No wheelchair</strong><br /> <strong>Light physical activity</strong><br /> <strong>Pick up and drop off at the Port </strong></span></span></span></span></strong></p> <p background-color:="" color:="" font-size:="" sans="" source="" trebuchet=""><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><strong>Included: </strong></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Transportation by Deluxe Vehicle; Guided Tour; Entrance Fees</font></p> <p background-color:="" color:="" font-size:="" sans="" source="" trebuchet=""></p> <p background-color:="" color:="" font-size:="" sans="" source="" trebuchet=""><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><strong>Not Included: </strong>Any meals or other services not specified</font></p> <p><span><span>This town in the Málaga region sits on either side of the Tajo del Ronda, a narrow gorge more than 150 metres deep. Celts, Phoenicians, Romans and Arabs all inhabited these lands, which were reconquered by the Catholic Monarchs. The historic quarter, reminiscent of the Arab age and with a medieval layout is scattered to the south of the Guadalevín, while more modern Ronda, the part which sprang up after the 16th century, unfolds to the north of the course of this river.</span></span><br /> <span><span>The </span></span><span><span>major religious work is Santa María la Mayor, where Arab and Christian features combine. On the site of an old Roman temple, the Arabs built the Main Mosque of Ronda in the 13th century. Preserved from this period are the mihrab arch, decorated with stucco, and the minaret, transformed into a belltower.</span></span><br /> <span><span>The House of the Moorish King, meanwhile, boasts Gothic-Mudejar decoration and some hanging gardens, declared to be an Artistic Garden.</span></span><br /> <span><span>The civil architecture of Ronda is reflected in its ancestral homes and aristocratic small palaces such as the Palaces of Mondragón and of the Marquis of Salvatierra. The Mondragón palace was for centuries the residence of Muslim and Christian kings, and today it houses the city's Archaeological Museum.</span></span><br /> The San Juan Bosco House is a modernist palace built at the beginning of the 20th century. It is located at the Tajo's edge, at the heart of the historical city quarter of Ronda. It It has got a nice courtyard, decorated with arab style ceramics and a very complete collection of regional ceramics.It is also advisable to see its 19th century tapestries and its walnut furniture.<br /> The gardens are very interesting, due to its placement, being one authentical balcony on to the Serrania.<br /> <span><span>Three bridges span the ravine measuring more than 100 metres in depth and lead to the other side of the city. The Arab bridge was built in the 14th century and gave access to the Old Outskirts. The so-called old bridge is comprised of a single arch measuring some 10 metres across. But most emblematic of all is the New Bridge, a colossal feat of engineering which joins the neighbourhoods of Mercadillo and Ciudad. And the bullring one of the oldest in Spain and most emblematic for the famous “goyescas” bullfight.</span></span></p> <p></p> Malaga: Granada Full Day Excursion <p><strong><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Climbing up into the mountains that surround Malaga, we make our way toward the famed city of Granada. At the foot of the Sierra Nevada lies Granada, a city steeped in history of the ancient Moors. Once inside the great Fortress and Palace of the Alhambra, you will feel as if you have been transported into another century as you wander through the Lion's Court and the Room of Secrets. Lovely views over the Albaicin old district, declared World Heritage Site and the Sacromonte, which houses Spain's largest<br /> congregation of gypsies. Then we walk through the exquisitely beautiful Generalife Gardens filled with fountains and flowers. </font></strong></p> <strong><span><span><span><span>8 hours tour</span></span></span></span></strong><br /> <strong><span><span><span><span><strong>Morning tour</strong><br /> <strong>No wheelchair</strong><br /> <strong>Moderate physical activity</strong><br /> <strong>Pick up and drop off at the Port</strong></span></span></span></span></strong> <p background-color:="" color:="" font-size:="" sans="" source="" trebuchet=""><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><strong>Included: </strong></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Transportation by Deluxe Vehicle; Guided Tour; Entrance Fees</font></p> <p background-color:="" color:="" font-size:="" sans="" source="" trebuchet=""></p> <p background-color:="" color:="" font-size:="" sans="" source="" trebuchet=""><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><strong>Not Included: </strong>Any meals or other services not specified</font></p> <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">At the foot of Sierra Nevada,<br /> between the Darro and Genil rivers, lies one of the most interesting cities<br /> in eastern Andalusia. Because it was the last city reconquered by the Catholic<br /> Monarchs in 1492, Granada has an unmistakable Arab flavour. Fountains, viewpoints<br /> and Cármenes, the villas surrounded by gardens typical of the city, add to Granada's<br /> unforgettable charm. Not in vain was one of its oldest districts, the Albaicín,<br /> declared a World Heritage Site, together with the Alhambra and the Generalife. </font></p>   <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">The Alhambra's reddish hills<br /> house the old Alcazaba and the Nazarite Royal Palaces. This artistic gem of<br /> Arab Granada, built between the 13th and the 15th centuries, is composed of<br /> many rooms linked by courtyards, gardens and fountains. Its delicate execution<br /> is evident in such places as the courtyards of Arrayanes and Leones, and in<br /> the Salón de los Embajadores or the Sala de las Dos Hermanas. The Generalife<br /> gardens, the summer residence of the Nazarite Monarchs, is also located on this<br /> hill, along with the Palace of Carlos V, a Renaissance-style building. </font></p>   <p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">The Albaicín quarter, with<br /> a deep Arab flavour, is located on another one of the city's hills and can be<br /> seen from the Alhambra. Narrow and steep streets are filled with cármenes (traditional<br /> villas with gardens), old mosques on top of which churches have been erected<br /> (San Salvador, San Bartolomé and San José), and little squares like San Nicolás<br /> and San Cristóbal. Both these spots enjoy great views over the Alhambra and<br /> the peaks of Sierra Nevada. </font></p> Malaga: Cultural Half Day City Tour <p><strong><span>First settled by the seafaring Phoenicians because of its natural harbour, and later conquered by the Arabs, it finally fell into the Spanish hands in 1487. Overlooking the central part of the city one can see the Gibralfaro Castle, originally Phoenician, and later rebuilt by the Arabs. In the centre of the city we will find the Atarazanas Market, the Sagrado Corazon Church, the old Jewish quarter, the Ben Gabirol Jewish Center, the</span> <span>City Hall, Malaga' s Park and the Bullring.</span></strong><br /> <br /> <strong><span><span><span><span>4 hours tour</span></span></span></span></strong><br /> <strong><span><span><span><span><strong>Morning or afternoon tour</strong><br /> <strong>No wheelchair</strong><br /> <strong>Light physical activity</strong><br /> <strong>Pick up and drop off at the Port</strong></span></span></span></span></strong></p> <p background-color:="" color:="" font-size:="" sans="" source="" trebuchet=""><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><strong>Included: </strong></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Transportation by Deluxe Vehicle; Guided Tour; Entrance Fees</font></p> <p background-color:="" color:="" font-size:="" sans="" source="" trebuchet=""></p> <p background-color:="" color:="" font-size:="" sans="" source="" trebuchet=""><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><strong>Not Included: </strong>Any meals or other services not specified</font></p> <p><span><span>The Castle of Gibralfaro (14th century), joined to the Citadel by a stretch of wall, gives the best views of the city, which opens out onto the sea with the port and the promenade of La Farola, one of the major leisure areas in the city. At the foot of Gibralfaro is the bullring (known as "La Malagueta") and the historic quarter of the city. </span></span><br /> <span><span><span>One of Malaga's architectural gems is the Atarazanas Market. The main entrance, an imposing horseshoe archway in off-white marble, is in fact the only remaining part of what was once a grand seven-arched shipyard (Ataranzas in arabic). </span>From shipyard to market, Atarazanas underwent many transformations. Following the fall of the city to the Catholics in 1487, a convent was set up there, afterwards the building was turned into a huge military fort for storing weapons. Later, it became a hospital and even housed a medical school.</span></span><br />  <br /> <span><span><span>The Sagrado Corazón Church is located in the Plaza de San Ignacio de Loyola. It is a neo- gothic building constructed in 1920, according to the architectural plans of Fernando Guerrero Strachan, who was commissioned by the Jesuits. It has a basilica, divided into three naves. </span></span></span><br /> <span><span>Historic Málaga offers countless spots and corners full of local colour. The façade of the City Hall, from the early 20th century, can be admired. A tour of the historic quarter must take in the old streets of the former jewish quarter, the </span></span><span><span>Ben Gabirol Jewish Center in a House-Tower from the 17th century</span></span><span><span>. </span></span><span><span>The famous <span>Hebrew poet and Jewish philosopher </span></span></span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solomon_Ibn_Gabirol" title="Solomon Ibn Gabirol"><span><span><span>Solomon Ibn Gabirol</span></span></span></a><span><span> was born in Malaga. The Juderia or Jewish Quarter was in the eastern part of the city (Postigo de San Agustín, Granada, Santiago, Alcazabilla and Zegrí streets and the Plaza de la Judería), the Synagogue was situated in part of the area where is located nowadays the Bodega el Pimpi Bar Restaurant, and the communal cemetery was on the slopes of Gibralfaro.</span></span><br /> <span><span><span>Located between the Alameda Principal and the Paseo de España, which runs parallel to Guadiaro Quay, the Malaga's Park extends from the Plaza de General Torrijos to Plaza de la Marina.</span></span></span> <span><span><span>It is made up of three walkways, each 800 metres long and ten metres wide; one is on the north side and the other two are to the south of the 25 metre-wide central thoroughfare for vehicles, a continuation of the Alameda Principal.</span></span></span><span><span> <span>It covers an area of 30,000 square metres if we count the rose garden surrounded by orange and cypress trees next to the City Council building and the gardens called Jardines de Puerta Oscura.</span></span></span></p>	06/28/2023 07:00 AM	06/28/2023 06:00 PM

Giving it the name of<br /> Xelb, they constructed lavish palaces and created a cultural centre of learning<br /> for the whole Iberian Peninsular. Although it was important as a town it still<br /> fell under the mantle and control of Cordoba in Spain. It is recorded that in<br /> 1189 there were over 15.000 inhabitants when the Knights of Santiago sacked<br /> the city with the assistance of the Anglo-Norman Crusaders.

They were then defeated by the forces of Dom Afonso III. During the 500 years of Moorish occupation there were some Jewish inhabitants in Faro who were kept busy printing copies of the Old Testament.</span></span><br />  <br /> <span><span>Particularly attractive is the old part of the city surrounded still by the Roman walls which date back to the 9th. Inside a spacious open square that was once the site of the Roman Forum is a 13th Century Cathedral that faces the 18th Century Episcopal palace. An interesting building is the neighbouring 16th Century Convent that is now turned into the home of the city’s archaeological museum. The "golden" church of Nossa Senhora do Carmo is claimed to be the best example of gold-leaf woodwork in southern Portugal.</span></span><br />  <br /> <span><span>Next to the small boat basin bordering the Praça de Dom Francisco Gomes is a small Naval Museum composed of scale model boats and galleons showing the maritime history of the coast. Faro is also the home of the Ria Formosa lagoon, a nature reserve of over 17.000 hectares and a stopping place for hundreds of different birds during the spring and autumn migratory periods. </span></span><br />  <br /> <span><span>The Olhao fishermen’s district is a nice place to visit, where you can see the whitewashed houses, some of them with tiles and flat roofs. Here, narrow streets cover the district and its possible to see the Moorish influence. If the visitor climbs to the bell tower of Nossa Senhora do Rosario church, they can contemplate all the city.</span></span><br /> <span><span>The fishermen's quarter is located between the quay on the Ria Formosa and the earth of the city defined by the main church. The streets that border the Avenida da República, itself a symbol of the urban development that took place at the turn of the century, reflect a city of industrials and ship-owners who grew rich from the fish processing business and trade, displaying their wealth by decorating their homes with verandas, tiles, carved stonework and wrought iron.</span></span><br />  <br /> <span><span>Tavira has a really nice old city centre made up by a labyrinth of streets with beautiful pavements. The centre hides gardens and wooded squares, churches, and worth-to-visit mansions. Visit the Misericordia church built between 1541 and 1551 and considered the most important Renaissance building in Algarve. The city also has a small fishing port.</span></span><br /> <br />	07/01/2023 08:00 AM	07/01/2023 05:00 PM

An old Dominican convent is nowadays the San Telmo Museum, whose archaeological and ethnographic collections, together with its paintings, are worth a leisurely visit. These busy streets lead you to the porticoed Plaza de la Constitución. Among its many balconies - numbered and painted white, betraying its origin as a bullring - stands the old Neoclassical City Hall, converted into the Municipal Library. </span></span><br /> <span><span>La Alameda del Boulevard leads into the Romantic city, which emerged after the old walls were demolished. One the banks of the Urumea you can make out the Victoria Eugenia Theatre and the María Cristina Hotel, built in Neoplateresque style.</span></span><br />  <br /> <span><span>La Concha Promenade is unquestionably one of San Sebastián’s most characteristic features.

The city centre is a showcase for the best of 20th century architecture, with buildings that have housed the most important firms and institutions of Bilbao for over a century. This impressive collection of buildings has been created by the best local architects of each period. </span></span><br /> <span><span>But Bilbao has not finished being built: in addition to the genius of the local architects, the most prestigious foreign firms have contributed finished projects to the grandeur of the city, with some still in progress, by architects of the stature of Foster, Gehry, Calatrava, Isozaki, Pelli, and others.</span></span><br /> <span><span>The Cathedral of Santiago, is the oldest building in Bilbao.This Gothic church was built on top of an old hermitage that dates back to the Santiago pilgrimages. The cathedral has three naves, covered with ribbed vaults. Although the building is essentially Gothic, the actual façade and the tower were built in the nineteenth century. The choir stalls and the cloister are exquisite with the latter ornately Gothic in style. The crypt was built in the old hermitage, and still has the hermitage's original walls. There are two doorways, one which is Renaissance in style and the other Neoclassical.</span></span><br /> <span><span>The baroque Yohn Palace, known as ‘The Bourse’, has a beautiful carved lintel around the door, which is extremely rare in urban architecture in Bizkaia, and three interesting exterior walls, the one facing Santa María street being the most impressive. </span></span><br /> <span><span>The Arriaga Theatre is a very beautiful building. Inspired in the Paris Opera, it was the work of the municipal architect Joaquín Rucoba and was opened in 1890. In 1902 it was named in honour of the Bilbao musician Juan Crisóstomo Arriaga, known as the Spanish Mozart because of his talent.</span></span><br /> <span><span>The Bilbao Guggenheim Museum has become the cultural and tourist driving force of the Basque Country. This spectacular building, built by Frank O. Gehry in 1997, is completely covered with titanium sheets. It houses its own private collection, in addition to sharing with New York and Venice the world's largest and most impressive private collection of modern and contemporary art.</span></span><br />  <br />	07/05/2023 09:00 AM	07/05/2023 05:00 PM

Enrichment Series

Of all the pleasures of cruising, enriching the mind can be among the most fulfilling. Gaining insider’s knowledge and participating in one-of-a-kind programs elevates the experience and brings unforgettable memories. While throughout all of our voyages guests can join in any number of complimentary enriching activities, our Spotlight Series voyages feature an in-depth focus on a particular subject. Enjoy the music and dance of world-renowned entertainers, learn the fine art of pairing wine with food, or simply gain otherwise unobtainable insight into world affairs at the hand of former ambassadors, politicians and other notables.

Featured Lecturers

Part of what makes a cruise with us so rewarding is the way we augment traditional shipboard activities with bridge instruction and other enhancements. We also offer an excellent lecture series on select voyages. Lecturers provide insight and perspectives far beyond what you would read in the average guidebook. Many of our speakers have first-hand knowledge of these locales, and most come from the foreign service and leading universities, or perhaps from the world of the arts or journalism.

Onboard Happenings

Each voyage aboard Regent Seven Seas Cruises is unique, with special activities tailored to the region and season. Guests can watch celebrated chefs prepare signature dishes during demonstrations and, aboard Seven Seas Explorer®, they may learn essential cooking techniques at the Culinary Arts Kitchen. They can golf by day, dance by night, and partake in a host of recreational pursuits, as well as sip and savor their way through some of the world's greatest wine regions and the merriment of holidays and with decadent onboard celebrations.

Featured Programs

This special series of cruises focuses on learning about and exploring the world around us. Guests gain perspective on our environment, rare locations on our planet, and even destinations beyond Earth. Respected scientists and explorers will share their unique perspectives on where we came from and where we are going next.

The Smithsonian Collection by Smithsonian Journeys

The Smithsonian Collection by Smithsonian Journeys is an engaging onboard enrichment program led by a wide range of experts, from noted art historians to leading authors to former diplomats, who are eager to share their first-hand knowledge and expertise. More than a lecture series, this program is completely interactive. Smithsonian Journeys Experts sail for the entire duration of our voyages, allowing for the exchange ideas and social interactions on personal level, from dinners to cocktail parties, in addition to attending insightful talks.
