voyag e s2013

Tall billowing sails — brilliant blue seas — sun-drenched

teak decks. And you, aboard a graceful sailing ship that’s

large enough to pamper and entertain you, yet small enough

to tuck into tiny harbors and hidden coves where no one else

can go. This feels like life on your own private yacht.

Windstar. For people who never settle for ordinary. Like you.

of legendary explorers, is an accessible mix of new and old world

charm. Cádiz’s natural beauty has some of the most important

national parks of Spain. Archaeological remains and monuments from

the Phoenician, Roman, Arabian and Christian eras can be found in

Málaga. The bizarre, almost lunar appearance of its landscapes has

made Almería a popular desert location for the movie industry. The

walled city of Cartagena showcases a fine harbor and forts. Valencia’s

rich artistic history includes the Plaza de la Virgen and Palau de la

explore ancient ruins and imagine yourself in the place where, according
