Portimao (PT) - Cadiz (ES)

04 November - 09 November 2019

Celebrate Maybe’s 90th Birthday in style! Join the ship in Portimao, Portugal, for several days of sailing in the southern Europe. Take a break from European November and follow the sun to Portugal and Spain. Anchor in picturesque bays or, weather permitting, visit small towns along the way. Enjoy the experience of sailing on a traditional ship with long history, which includes the first ever Tall Ships Race in 1956. Be a part of something special with this jubilee journey. Disembark in Cadiz, a spectacular coastal town. For Windseekers of all ages, minimum age 15 years.

Ports

Portimão is a Portugese city in the southern region of Algarve. Take a stroll along the Alvor Boardwalk, relax on the white sands of the Praia Da Rocha beach and visit the Museu de Portimao for a little history lesson. You can also take a dolphin watching tour or do one of the multiple offered water sports.

The oldest city in Spain, with a wealth of historic landmarks. Water is never far away, as the old town is built on a narrow stretch of land jutting out into the Mediterranean Sea. Get lost in the Old town with its many narrow, winding streets and visit one of the many parks that dot the city. Its many cathedrals and plazas are also well worth a visit. Go to La Caleta beach, at La Viña, the old fisherman quarter. Go catch a Flamenco concert and feast your taste buds with the fresh sea foods.

    We are all adventurers... each of us in our own way. For some... it's facing the sea-sickness of rolling swells and books that move across the table on their own. Or climbing the mast all the way to the top, …
