Lisbon threw traffic jams, flying coffee, and identity crises (for the red bus companies) our way—but we powered through with pastries and a laugh. Our last full day before Scenic Eclipse ended, as all great days should, with burgers and champagne.
From navigating grass fires and confused GPS systems to a four-minute meal at 30,000 feet, this travel day packed in more drama than it had any right to. Bonus points for an airport robot and a buttery tart before our rollercoaster descent into Lisbon.
A quirky breakfast menu, an epic bell tower climb, and a mission for molasses-covered eggplant defined our day in Cádiz. From crypts to croquettes, it was a feast for the senses—and our step count.
A quiet breakfast, a helmet-required hike and one very tight car park later, we said goodbye to Ronda. Cue a chaotic road trip filled with wrong turns, croquette overload, and a warm Cádiz welcome.
From a chaotic car rental and the narrowest streets in Spain to a surprise religious procession and a golden-hour view over Ronda’s gorge, this day had it all. Even Achilles the dog got in on the action—with enthusiasm.
