Celtic Coasts and Iberian Shores: Voyage from Edinburgh to Lisbon
Embark on a coastal expedition from Edinburgh to Lisbon, tracing the storied shores of the British Isles, France and the Iberian Peninsula. From the medieval strongholds of Northumberland to the maritime legacy of Portsmouth, the rugged beauty of Brittany and the Celtic echoes of Galicia, each stop reveals a new facet of Europe’s rich heritage. Savor the flavors of Cornwall and Porto, walk ancient coastal paths and witness the dramatic landscapes that have shaped centuries of explorations.
