Ports of Call

Sao Paulo (Santos), Brazil
Founded in 1535, Santos was one of the first Portuguese settlements in the New World. Situated a few kilometres east of Sao Vicente, the city was developed on an island, with the port facing inland and ships approaching through a narrow canal. The heart of the city is very much connected with the port activities, and the main buildings lie along a network of narrow alleyways and streets. There are several street markets, where bartering is the order of the day, just as it was in ancient times. One of the most important attractions in the city centre is the Rodoviària, near Praça dos Andradas. The commercial centre is found along Rua XV de Novembro and Rua do Comercio. The city's train station, built in 1860, is a copy of London's Victoria Station. Nearby is the Baroque-style Santo Antoñio do Valongo church and Convento do Carmo. The city's commercial importance is now complemented by the tourist industry, with many visitors preferring the coast of Santos to Rio de Janeiro. On the south side of the island, which has a 400km coastline, are a number of bays with large beaches, protected inland by green hills, giving a Mediterranean feel to the area.

Rio De Janeiro, Brazil
Natives call it a cidade maravilhosa—the marvelous city—for its stunning setting and unabashed lust for life. Our overnight stay lets you revel in Brazilian paradise: beaches beauty, samba. And if Rio isn't wild enough for you, there's always a trip to the Amazonian river outpost of Manaus, once the richest city in the world.

Ilheus, Brazil
The sophisticated city of Ilheus, on the Atlantic coast 400km south of Salvador de Bahia, has a rich cultural heritage in addition to a number of splendid beaches. It is the birthplace of writer Jorge Amado, author of probably Brazil's most internationally renowned novel, 'Gabriela, Cravo e Canela' (Gabriela, Clove and Cinnamon). Set in the city, a tour of Ilheus brings the novel to life, particularly at the bar Vezuvio in Praccedil a Dom Eduardo which in Amado's masterpiece is owned by his main character Nacib. A number of waterways dissect Ilheus, giving parts of the city a distinctive, and romantic, feel. Among the city's buildings of interest is a cathedral built in 1930 in extravagant gothic style. The nearby church of Matriz de Sao Jorge, completed in 1556 in Portuguese baroque style, houses a museum of religious art. Another major landmark is the church of Nossa Senhora de Lourdes, which dominates the coastline close to the city centre. One of the city's distinctive characteristics is its lively cafes, which are a main focal point of Ilheus society. Away from the city centre there are several very popular seaside bars on the Avenida Atlantica promenade. Nearby to Ilheus on the Olivenccedil coast is Cururupe beach, scene of a notorious battle in 1567 between the local Governor and a tribe of native Indians who were shot trying to escape swimming into the sea.

Salvador Bahia, Brazil
In the state where Portuguese culture first blended with West African beliefs, spicy Bahia offers cuisine to sample, rhythmic capoiera fight dances to watch, immaculate white lace shirts to buy. Religion here is often an eclectic affair—catholicism mixed with pagan gods and a dash of voodoo thrown in.

Recife, Brazil
With Recife's receding tide comes a most unusual bathing beach, dotted with a myriad of inviting pools and a surreal seascape of reef rocks. Hence the name Recife, which means reef. Discover nearby Olinda, a colonial gem beautifully preserved in pastel shades of stucco.

Las Palmas, Gran Canaria, Canary Islands


Funchal (Madeira), Portugal
The capital of Portugal's largest island, Funchal is a proud seaport with an abundant supply of historical monuments, charming squares and quaint streets. Whether it's the enchanting villages, awesome volcanic caves, beautiful beaches or breathtaking mountian views of the rugged coastline, there's something to see for everyone. Visit the island's vineyards to see the origins of the world-famous Madeira wine.

Lisbon, Portugal
Also known as Lisboa to the native Portuguese, Lisbon has earned its title as capital of Portugal. See why this city reigns above all others as you stroll along elaborate mosaic sidewalks and pass by the Monument to the Discoveries. A quick trolley ride transports you to the cobblestone district of Baixa. Or if you choose, be lured off and pampered in the resort cities of Cascais and Estoril.

Barcelona, Spain
Located on the Mediterranean Sea, Barcelona is Spain's most cosmopolitan city. It is especially well known for its vitality and style, as you will see on Las Ramblas, Barcelona's main thoroughfare. The city, while boasting monuments that are Romanesque, Gothic and Renaissance in style, also captivates visitors with its incredible modern architecture. Among those worthy of attention, are the works of the legendary architect Antonio Gaudi.

Marseille, France
Located on the southeastern coast of France on the Mediterranean Sea, Marseille is the oldest city in the country and second largest after Paris. Thanks to its long and unique past - Greek sailors originally settled the city back in 600 B.C. - this bustling port is filled with history and amazing architecture. It's also one of the most picturesque ports in the country, with fantastic views and scenic backdrops. Explore the Old Port and mingle with the locals, who know where the best cut flowers and bouillabaisse can be found. Tour to Avignon with its grandiose Palace of the Popes; or to spectacular Les Baux village, named for the prolific bauxite in the hills and perched high atop a craggy spire that seems to defy a basic principle—gravity!

Savona (Genoa), Italy
A part of the Italian Riviera near Genoa, Savona is a city rich in history and enterprise, largely centered around its port. A tour of the city may include a visit to "Columbus's House," a former residence of Christopher Columbus nestled in the Savona hills. Or one may visit Savona's most important monument, the Priamar, a recently-restored castle stronghold located near the port.
