  Lisbon, Portugal
It was from historic Lisbon, built on seven low hills beside the wide Tagus estuary, that some of Europe's greatest explorers set sail in pursuit of the riches that built Portugal's former global empire in the New World, Africa and the Indies. Memories of that glorious past linger amid the grand avenues and elegant squares of the attractive capital's 18th century lower town - a vivid contrast with the colourful honeycomb of cobbled streets in the old Moorish Alfama quarter and the bohemian mood of the hilly Bairro Alto.

  Arrecife, Lanzarote, Canary Islands
Arrecife is the gateway to the island of Lanzarote, whose desolate yet dramatic lunar-like landscapes and coal-black sand beaches were shaped by 18th century volcanic eruptions. Ride by camel to the still hissing rocks of the great ‘Fire Mountains' in Timanfaya National Park – then cool down with a glass or two of wine and delicious paella in a local seafront restaurant!

  Puerto Del Rosario, Fuerteventura
Puerto del Rosario welcomes you to Fuertevetura in the eastern Canaries, just 60 miles from the African mainland. This almost rainless land has the archipelago's best and most extensive beaches - said to total over 150. Most spectacular are those at the northern tip, edged by miles of dunes and fed by winds form the Sahara.

  Las Palmas de Gran Canaria,Canary Isles
The thriving capital of Gran Canaria, third largest island of the Canaries, Las Palmas is within easy reach of the famous Playa del Ingles beach and the magnificent palm-fringed and Sahara-like dunes of Maspalomas. In quieter corners of the island attractive old towns like Teror and Arucas (the latter the island's ‘banana capital') invite exploration, while inland Gran Canaria's fretted volcanic landscapes of gorges, craters and mountains rising to 6,500ft offer memorable sightseeing.
Wed, Dec 29th 2010
  Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary
The lively, cosmopolitan capital of the largest of the Canaries, Santa Cruz has much of architectural and historical interest to offer. Easily reached are the elegant beach resort of Puerto de la Cruz, the lively leisure complex of Playa de las Americas, the banana and pineapple plantations of the beautiful Orotova valley, and the stunning volcanic scenery and views of El Teide National Park, dominated by the 12,000ft snow-tipped peak of Spain's highest mountain.

  Santa Cruz De La Palma,Canary Islands
From here La Palma's real speciality can be seen, with its astonishing variety of scenic contrasts. The old town is a treasure waiting to be discovered, and with one of the earth's largest volcanic craters, almost six miles across, it offers magnificent sights, along side rich culture.
Fri, Dec 31st 2010
  Funchal, Madeira
The picturesque whitewashed capital of this mountainous Portuguese island, 350 miles off the coast of Africa, has a timeless charm, delightfully enhanced by a benign climate that fills this ‘floating garden' with the year round colours and perfumes of subtropical flowers and fruit. Much painted by Sir Winston Churchill, Madeira has been offering the British visitor a warm welcome for three centuries, its famous wine the perfect aid to total relaxation!
