RIVIERA
Catch the wind! We did, on the trip of a lifetime on Wind Star’s flagship, a savvy sailboat with cutting edge technology and only a hundred and fifty passengers. We imbursed ourselves in sun-drenched shores and glamorous ports along the Atlantic, Western Mediterranean, and French and Italian Rivieras.
We spent a few days in Lisbon where we accidentally came upon a jewel, Old Lisbon. Then we sailed to Tangiers, Morocco, shopped in the Kasbah, and discovered one of our favorite places…Cap Sparta, that inspired much of our art.
Every day, we sailed to new amazement: The World Heritage city of Tarragona with a nearby stunning Poblet Monastery. We explored Pablo Picasso’s hometown of Malaga, perused his museum, and practically inhaled the most authentic tapas we’ve ever had.
Then we sailed to Cartagena and Ibiza, where the sun always shines, except the day we were there. Downpours were so hard they had floods. But Lucky us, we discovered a wonderful little winery, had a local lunch, and made new friends.
Next, Barcelona filled with Gaudi’s buildings, and his Masterpiece, La Sagrada Famili. Then we kicked back in the warm sands of Port Vendre, Collioure, Sanary-Ser-Mer, Cannes, Monte Carlo, Portofino and Rome. Talk about perfection. We experienced it!
