You’ll spend the full final day in Gibraltar, a small region on the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula known for its miles of underground tunnels and The Rock, a 426-metre high limestone rock soaring out of the sea. You can take the cable car to the top to see the only wild monkeys in Europe. Lastly, you’ll disembark in Grenada, known as ‘Spice Isle’ because of its abundance of fragrant lemongrass, cinnamon and nutmeg.
