Viewed by 75 travelers

Day 1: Arrival & Exploration

Morning: Disembark at 07:00 and pick up your rental car near the port. Drive a short distance to the historic Castillo de San Gabriel for panoramic harbor views, then wander around the picturesque Charco de San Ginés while enjoying a quick coffee at a waterfront café.

Afternoon: Head to the nearby Castillo de San José, now home to the Museum of Contemporary Art, and spend about an hour admiring the exhibits. Afterwards, relax on the golden sands of Playa de los Pocillos, where you can have a leisurely lunch at a beachfront restaurant and maybe take a short dip in the Atlantic.

Evening: Return to the city centre for a stroll along the promenade, browse local shops, and sip a final drink at a terrace overlooking the sea before driving back to the port for the 17:00 departure.
