Detailed Description

Follow the sunshine to beautiful beaches that overflow with incredible flora during your 8-day itinerary to Spain and Portugal that will bring you to Mallorca and the Azores Islands. Your spectacular island retreat will begin with your arrival at Palma de Mallorca Airport. Your private transfer will greet you and escort you to your luxurious resort-style accommodation that overlooks the stunning shoreline. You will be near the opulent town of Puerto Portals, known for its high-end boutique shops and lavish yachts that fill the marina. The remainder of the day will be at your leisure to stroll through town or bask in the comforts and poolside charm of your hotel.

The next day, your guide will lead you on a private tour of Palma, the capital of Mallorca. Traverse the medieval lanes of the city and then enter into the cathedral. You can also visit the walls of the looming castle above the town and the nearby art museum dedicated to the Catalan artist Joan Miro. Wake the next day to board your luxury catamaran for a half-day cruise around the cliffs, beaches, and grottos of Mallorca. Swim, snorkel and enjoy the stunning cuisine cooked on the boat by the crew that has been tailored to your tastes and the ingredients of the island. Explore the mountains and valleys around Mallorca the next day and search for the lavish monasteries found around Lluc and Valldemossa as each offers a unique sense of historical grandeur surrounded by nature’s splendor.

The next day, your private transfer will escort you to the airport for your flight to Horta, located on Faial Island. The Azores Islands have been under the reign of Portugal since the 15th century, and since then has blended the exotic ambiance with Portuguese culture. Your private transfer will meet you upon your arrival at Horta Airport before escorting you to a luxurious hotel that overlooks the indigo hues of the Atlantic Ocean. The remainder of the day will be yours to relax at the hotel, stroll along the trails, or wander through Horta for insight into the serene ambiance of island life.

The following day, you will traverse Faial Island with your guide to visit the caldera and lunar landscape of Capelinhos Volcano. Continue to the marina for a whale-watching cruise in search of breaching whales, and then take the ferry to Pico Island the next day for a full day traversing the dramatic volcanic peaks and crater lakes. Visit a vineyard that utilizes the volcanic soil to produce captivating wines before returning to Faial. Conclude as your private transfer will greet you at your hotel and escort you to Horta Airport for your flight home.

Portugal Vacation Review: Douro Valley, Boat Ride, Wineries,...

The whole trip was perfect. The guides (and especially our driver) were fantastic. The hotels were great and the advice given beforehand by Zicasso's travel company was super-useful. We might have had one too many palaces and heard a bit too much about kings, but we essentially enjoyed everything. The amount of time on our own was just about perfect.

Spain Trip Review: Girona, Tapas Tour, Dali Museum, Local...

The trip was fantastic. Everything that was scheduled was well planned, with excellent tour guides, communication with the guides, as well as travel agents live during the trip. The experience was five-star and we could tell that the way it was booked through Zicasso was better for the guides themselves versus how others in our group had booked (ie, through other agencies). There were fewer obstacles, complications, and issues with the booking. We could tell this through our tour guides, as they were more comfortable and knowledgeable about our requests and needs.

Tickets were all organized and either sent to us through PDF or to our tour guides. The off days were were well placed during the week and our requests were more than satisfied.

Spain Vacation Review: Guides, Tapas Tours, 12 Nights

Zicasso's travel specialist did an amazing job! She planned our itinerary well, based on our interests, the cities we wanted to visit, and the experiences we requested. All of the accommodations and transportation worked out well, and we enjoyed the trip a lot!

The only downside was one night with a late-night tour scheduled, followed by an early-morning hot-air balloon ride, which was hard to get up for in time, but we managed. Despite this, we would definitely recommend our travel company to anyone traveling to Spain!

Spain Tour Review: Mallorca, San Sebastian, 11 Nights

Our Zicasso travel specialist was phenomenal. She understood exactly how we travel and what we wanted to do, and planned a 12-day trip to Mallorca and San Sebastián that was better than we even imagined. She was always responsive before and throughout the trip. All of the tour guides and drivers were kind, knowledgeable, and timely. Our travel company delivers exceptional first-rate service and we would highly recommend them.
