Douro River

One of the major rivers of the Iberian Peninsula, the Douro in north-central Spain and Portugal just might be the world's most beautiful wine region. Most of the river on the Spanish side isn't navigable, so river cruises generally travel roundtrip from Porto, on the coast of the Atlantic.

Padang

Padang is the third largest city and the capital of West Sumatra. It is the biggest seaport along its west coast, and is a center of business and government. The terrain of the city is mostly flat, and the name Padang actually means "plain." But if you venture outside of the city limits, the scenery is quite lovely going towards the neighboring city of Solok.

Florø

Florø, the westernmost town in Norway, sits right at the edge of the sea as a small, coastal town with deep maritime roots and front-row views of the North Atlantic. Established in 1860 as a herring fishing hub, Florø still carries the rhythm of the ocean in daily life. Though small in size, the town serves as a jumping-off point to explore the rugged coastline, scenic fjords, and a collection of islands that each have their own stories and scenery.

The Atlas Mountains extend across Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia, forming a vast system of ranges between the Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts and the Sahara. In Morocco, the system includes the High Atlas, Middle Atlas and Anti-Atlas, while additional ranges continue east through Algeria into Tunisia. Jebel Toubkal in Morocco rises to 4,167 metres, making it the highest summit in North Africa. The mountains contain deep valleys, high plateaus, forests and rocky peaks, with landscapes changing markedly from wetter northern slopes to dry areas bordering the Sahara.

Amazigh communities have lived throughout the Atlas region for generations, developing languages, architecture and agricultural practices suited to mountain environments. Villages are often built from local stone or earth and positioned near springs, rivers and terraced fields.

The High Atlas contains Toubkal National Park, where trails pass through juniper woodland, rocky valleys and alpine terrain around Jebel Toubkal. The Middle Atlas has extensive cedar forests, including habitat for Barbary macaques, while Morocco’s Anti-Atlas is characterized by dry mountains, oases and exposed rock formations.
