During this pre-Christmas getaway, you will have the chance to soak up the festive culture of Spain, especially in Vigo, where around ten million LED lights make up one of the world’s largest displays. You can discover the spiritual city of Santiago de Compostela on a tour from La Coruña, while Getxo is your gateway to Bilbao and the modern architectural masterpiece that is the Guggenheim Museum. There will be opportunities to taste local food and drink, including pintxos – the Basque country’s take on tapas, Galician mussels and Asturian cider. Head out on deck as we sail past the Tower of Hercules, an important navigational monument said to be the only Roman lighthouse in existence.
