Our Atlantic adventure begins in Spain’s Andalusian countryside, then takes in Morocco’s legendary cities. The Canary Islands feature unique plants and birds set in fantastic volcanic landscapes, while Cape Verde, an important stage in Portugal’s exploration of the New World, hosts a variety of endemic bird species. We end in lively Dakar, whose highlights include markets, mosques, and the World Heritage Site of Gorée Island, the notorious former slave-trading center.
