You used to be able to reach the other end of the same road by following the cliff edge along the coastline.
Ring any bells?

Edit: the old town was situated at the opposite end of the road from our hotel.
Looong walk.

Heh, there are so many hotels there...I might know the on you're speaking of, but at the moment it isn't ringing any bells.

We used to stay at "Oura Hotel", great times.

This is our itinerary:
7/3 - Depart from Southampton, England
7/6 - Gibraltar, UK
7/8 - Ajaccio, Corsica
7/9 - Cannes, France
7/10 - Barcelona, Spain
7/11 - Ibiza, Spain
7/12 - Malaga, Spain
7/14 - Lisbon, Portugal
7/15 - Vigo, Spain
7/17 - Arrive in Southampton, England

I know that a lot of MB-ians hail from various corners of the planet, so I was wondering if any of you have any advice or general commentary for me. Thanks!

If you're going from Southampton to Gibraltar I wouldn't be surprised if you have an unofficial stop in a Channel Island.

We get loads of cruise ships doing that in Guernsey.

Thanks for the input folks :-)

I'll try to compile a dozen or so of the best pics when I get back and post them here.

Forgot to say: in Lisbon, make sure you have a look downtown, or at the "Baixa".

Sounds awesome! If I went to Spain, I'd want to see the caves (and cave-houses) I've heard about towards the south of the country.
