   Situated approx. 1 hour by coach from the port of Barcelona lies Montserrat, a mountain-top Benedictine Monastery that forms the highest point of the Catalonian lowlands. Santa Maria de Montserrat, to give the monastery its official name, is a key Catholic pilgrimage site and a favourite destination for religious retreats. Apart from being home to a statue of the Virgin of Montserrat – also known as the Black Madonna or La Moreneta – the monastery boasts a basilica with a resplendent interior that stands in stark contrast to its somewhat austere exterior. Interestingly, the monastery also hosts a publishing house that counts as one of the world’s oldest still functioning presses, with the first book having been printed in 1499. You will have time to look around by yourself before returning to Barcelona. Please note: the guide will give explanation only outside the Monastery; guests will visit the site individually. Conservative attire is recommended for visiting the religious site. Shooting videos or taking photos during the visit to the Monastery is prohibited.

    Your half day tour begins with a sightseeing coach drive through Malaga and with a brief photo stop at Gibralfaro Viewpoint. Next, a short drive will take you to the Atarazanas Market, built on the place where an old Muslim building was located. The building was torn down except for a biggest arch and the town government decided to build a public market in its place and incorporate the arch as the entrance. The market was declared a Historic-Artistic Monument in 1979. After the visit you will proceed to a classic Cafetería to taste the traditional and delicious “Hot Chocolate with Churros”. Churros are sometimes referred to as a “Spanish doughnut”, and are fried-dough pastry—predominantly choux—based snack. They are very typical in Spain, where are normally served with Hot Chocolate, in the winter months. Your excursion will continue towards the Old Quarter, until “Calle Lario” where you will enjoy some free time before returning to the port. Please note: this excursion is not suitable for guests with walking difficulties or using a wheelchair. This tour is not available on 05.01.2014

  Situated on the outskirts of Rome about a 1-hour drive from the port of Civitavecchia lies Ostia, a popular residential area with a beach and a marina with moorings for both smaller and larger boats. But your actual tour destination is Rome’s ancient port, which grew around the mouth of the River Tiber. A knowledgeable tour guide will meet you at the so-called Ostia Antica, an archaeological complex first discovered in the course of excavation work carried out in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. On walking around the huge area, you can get a real feel for what life must have been like in Roman times. Apart from its Roman forum and two baths, the ancient city also gives visitors a glimpse of working life with well-preserved ancient apartment buildings used to house navvies and the old warehouses and docks to explore. Please note: this tour includes long distances on uneven ground and is not recommended for guests with walking difficulties or using a wheelchair. This tour is not available on calls falling on a Monday.
