Help me decide

Based on the itinerary above, what do you think I should do in each port?

The only port that I have plans for so far is Malaga, Spain. While in port, I am going on a full day tour to Granada and the Alhambra Palace, the last capital of the Moors. Besides that port, I am open for suggestions.

Here is a look of the options for what to do in port via an organized shore excursion from the ship:

What to do on Silver Spirit?

For starters, Silver Spirit is the newest vessel in the Silversea Cruises fleet. I am excited to experience the signature Silversea service while enjoying  great dining including an evening in Le Champagne, the Relais & Châteaux-inspired restaurant and enjoying dinner in Seishin, which features Asian fusion cuisine.
