Spanish Flavours - Cruise Itinerary
Thursday 7th November
Depart Malaga: 10pm
Today you join your ship, the Marella Discovery 2, in Malaga. If you've landed this morning, keep an eye out for your TUI rep at Malaga airport, who will direct you to the pre-organised coach transfer and you'll head to the port.
Once on board, you've got plenty of time to spend a bit of time in your cabin and get to explore the ship before you sail away at 10pm. Wander along each deck to discover the little nooks and crannies, before heading back to your cabin to get ready for a sumptuous dinner. After that, grab yourself your favourite cocktail and watch the sailaway at 10pm.
Thursday 7th November
Today is a sea day which means you've got plenty of time at leisure. Whether you want to grab a sunbed on the sun decks and chill by the pool, wander around the shops in the atrium, talk to one of the team about excursions over the next couple of days, or book yourself in for a treatment or two in the relaxing onboard spa.

Arrive Palamos: 9am
Depart Palamos: 6pm
Arriving into Palamos at 9am, this is a town you've probably never heard of, but well worth exploring. Take a stroll through the town, take a boat excursion from nearby Marina de Palamos, or simply enjoy spending time on the beach with the sand between your toes.

Valencia is a city not to be missed. The best way to see the city is with an organised tour, or if you're a bit of a foodie, why not book onto a food tour of the city to try some of the amazing local tapas? The Oceanographic Park is also another one not to be missed.
