Getaway to Spain or Portugal's sunny shores! From the lush landscapes of the Azores to the stunning beaches of Tenerife, United Vacations® is helping you get those European aspirations on your vacation calendar. United Airlines® continues to expand their global network of route offerings with new flights to these up-and-coming destinations. Wondering which of these new destinations is right for you? We’ve got the perfect overview to help you decide on your next European escape.

Mallorca, Balearic Islands: Dreaming of an island drenched in rich history, comprised of rugged mountains and dotted with picturesque villages? Mallorca has you covered. This colorful locale boasts a diverse culinary scene perfectly complimented by the abundance of nature. If you’re seeking a full date of sightseeing, begin with a guided Palma City Xperience tour. You’ll get to visit Palma’s most important landmarks, including the Cathedral. While you’re paying Old Town a visit for some signature souvenir shopping, you can stop by the Gothic Bellver Castle.

Malaga, Andalucia: The capital of the Costa del Sol is famous for its sunny climate and beautiful beaches yet continues to reinvent itself to keep up with modernity. You may not find it surprising that the birthplace of Pablo Picasso is equal parts stunning and lively. But there’s so much more to Malaga than the storied history and culture. Taste the local tapas, attend a flamenco dinner show, browse the upscale shops and cafes of Calle Larios, discover one of Spain’s most stunning palace-fortresses at Moorish Alcazaba – you can’t go wrong as excitement awaits around every corner on the Costa del Sol.

Ponta Delgada, São Miguel Island, the Azores: Ponta Delgada began as a simple fishing village. Now there’s over five centuries of history to uncover. Modern Ponta Delgada is a cosmopolitan city with a lively culture. The extensive coastline road, which borders the harbor and the sea outlining the city, is a gateway to the famous crater lakes, volcanoes and rugged coastline that makes São Miguel Island so unique. Whale and dolphin watching is a common pastime, as are the traditional delicacies like fried horse-mackerel.

Tenerife, Canary Islands: Whether lounging on pristine beaches or exploring diverse landscapes, Tenerife offers the perfect year-round escape. Set an easy pace with a half-day catamaran tour along the southwestern coast. Sail from Costa Adeje to the majestic cliffs of Acantilados de Los Gigantes, stopping at the Bay of Masca to enjoy a dip in the clear waters. If you prefer to stay dry, you can explore plenty of natural splendor on a full-day Jeep Safari tour which spans from the small villages of Vilaflor and Masca to the Pico Viejo volcano, the second-highest peak on the Canary Islands.

No matter which of these noteworthy destinations you choose, United Airlines® will get you there in comfort. Book an Economy Plus® seat for added conveniences like extra legroom and in-seat power outlets or choose United Polaris business class with flat-bed seats — perfect for that overnight flight required to get away to paradise. Why fly any other way? United Vacations® looks forward to being your choice for Europe.
