PALMA - CABRERADAY 1

The isolation of the 19 islands and 12 small islands of the Cabrera Archipelago has shaped one of the most singular and best preserved

coastal landscapes in the Mediterranean. Due to this and its exceptional seabed, in 1991 this area was declared Spain’s first Maritime-Terrestrial

National Park. It is part of the Migjorn Marine Reserve, the biggest protected marine area in the West Mediterranean Sea.

Embark in Palma, the capital of the Balearics. Despite being a modern, vibrant city, Palma has managed to retain its old town and its ancient culture and charm. Palma offers interesting narrow streets, with many impressive and beautiful historic buildings, quiet courtyards, and a lively harbour with a good selection of restaurants. After lunch, cruise across to the nature reserve island of Cabrera, to spend the night moored at the bay.

DAY 3 1963 IBIZA TOWN - FORMENTERA

One of the most iconic images of Ibiza is just off the coast. It is the rocks that shape the little island of Es Vedrà. Suddenly, its silhouette appears in front of your eyes. Because of its special magnetism, it has been linked with paranormal phenomenal and sightings. Countless myths, legends and tales have been told about Es Vedrà since ancient times. Sailors report that navigational instruments go crazy in the vicinity of the island as the crags send out a special energy.

The “Red Lightning” tram links the coastal town of Port de Sòller with the small hinterland town of Sóller. The latter settlement is located

on the west coast of Majorca in the so-called “Valley of Gold”, named after the thousands of orange trees that grow there and from the local

olive oil industry. Sòlller is behind the mountain peaks of the Serra de Tramuntana, with orange tree plantations and pine forests.

Cap de Formentor, where the top end of the Serra de Tramuntana meets the Mediterranean. A windswept lighthouse stands on this promontory and,

although it’s not open to visitors, you can walk around its rocky surroundings, looking out to the cliffs where Eleonora’s falcons nest in the winter. You can

also spot thousands of seabirds during migration periods.
