New View Tours – Trips we will plan for you in 2025!

These are our favorite tours:

Azores ArchipelagoAzores Archipelago
A trip to the Azores offers a perfect balance of island lifestyle and European culture in a mix of small cities and towns situated between beautiful mountains. Deep lakes were formed here by volcanoes. Atlantic breezes create tropical forests. Visit a variety of ports, beaches on scenic coastlines. Consider a 7 night tour: 2 in Punta Delgada; 2 in Ribiera Grande and 3 nights or more in Furnas.

SpainSpain
Northern Route: Bilbao is a mix of a city. Visit the old town across from the old iron mines. Meet up at the Guggenheim Museum designed by Frank Gehry. Explore the North Atlantic Coast line by car. Stop for botanical gardens, seacoast walks, a museum of a local artist. Continue to Gijon then Santiago de Compostela & of course, save time for Madrid. North pix here.

Southern Route: Madrid to Malaga – We suggest 10 days Seville, Cordoba and Grenada. Consider the high speed train for certain legs of your journey – a great way to relax and see the country at the same time. The extended trip to Malaga is on the Mediterranean coast. Visit the town where Picasso was born, a site of extensive Roman ruins. Here is where cruise ships regularly tie up for a couple of days.
France

Castles & Caves & Cooking – SW France
New View will offer this trip to the pastoral Vezere & Dordogne Valleys to explore the caves of pre-history, the medieval castles and world renowned gastronomique at a date to be determined and a price to be calculated upon the reopening of the country.

October when caves are open.
