Tenby sits on the Pembrokeshire coast of southwest Wales, where medieval walls still encircle a compact town above the sea. Its history as a fortified port is visible in stone ramparts, narrow lanes, and the ruins of Tenby Castle, which overlook the harbor.
Bordeaux is ready for its close-up! After years of improvements, modern public transportation is in place and the city is gleaming after a wave of restorations. When visiting this lovely destination, be sure to walk across the Garonne River-spanning Stone Bridge (17 arches in all!) and see Place des Quinconces, France's grandest public square.
Portugal offers a layered experience shaped by maritime history, deep-rooted traditions, and a coastline that stretches for nearly 1,800 kilometers. In Lisbon, the streets of Alfama wind uphill toward São Jorge Castle, where views of red-tiled rooftops and the Tagus River reveal how the city was rebuilt after the 1755 earthquake. Trams still clatter through narrow streets, and fado music, often performed in candlelit taverns, tells stories of longing and the sea.
The Berry Islands are a scattered group of small islands and cays in the central Bahamas, located between New Providence and Andros. The archipelago contains Great Harbour Cay, Little Harbour Cay, Chub Cay, and numerous smaller islands surrounded by shallow banks, reefs, and clear Atlantic waters. Much of the landscape consists of low limestone islands with sandy beaches, scrub vegetation, mangroves, tidal flats, and sheltered coves.
