Join us in Ceuta, Spain, a hidden gem of a cruise port that most ships sail past — but our Azamara cruise from Southampton to Barcelona made it a highlight! Just across the Strait of Gibraltar on the northern coast of Africa, Ceuta is a fascinating mix of Spanish and Moroccan culture, history, and architecture. In this video, we take you on a walking tour of Ceuta’s most iconic landmark: the Royal Walls of Ceuta. These 500-year-old fortifications once protected the city from sea and land attacks, and today they remain beautifully preserved, complete with a crystal-clear navigable moat that connects directly to the Mediterranean. What you’ll see in this video: • Easy disembarkation from our Azamara cruise in Ceuta • Exploring the streets filled with Spanish cafés and Moroccan influences • Touring the Royal Walls and navigable moat • Learning about Ceuta’s strategic role at the Strait of Gibraltar • Fun encounters with “modern guardians” of the walls (a few dive-bombing seagulls!) • A look at nearby highlights like Plaza de África and local cafés for tapas & mint tea ✨ Why visit Ceuta on your cruise? Because it’s authentic, uncrowded, and full of history you can explore at your own pace — and the Royal Walls alone make the stop worthwhile. 📍 Location: Ceuta, Spain – Royal Walls 🚢 Cruise Line: Azamara 🎥 Style: Cruise port day tour / travel guide If you enjoy discovering unique ports and hidden gems on your cruises, be sure to like, subscribe, and join us for more adventures as we ask: Why Don’t We Go? #CeutaSpain #RoyalWalls #CruisePortGuide #AzamaraCruise #MediterraneanCruise #africa #travel #travelvlog #luxurytravel #cruising
