March is the Month for Whale Watching in Mendocino, California

If you are looking for a different way for your family to spend spring break but still enjoy a beautiful coastal getaway, California’s Mendocino County has just what you are looking for. March is the season for the gray whale migration, an annual event, and Mendocino has some great ways to experience the migration in person and celebrate the creatures that make it possible.

Best of Both Worlds

Enjoy the best of both worlds when you fly with TAP Air Portugal thanks to the Portugal Stopover program. With the program, TAP passengers, whether traveling for business, leisure or both, can stop in Portugal for up to 10 days at no additional airfare on the way to their final destination. What does this mean for travelers wishing to explore by both land and sea? It means after flying to Portugal with TAP and experiencing the country in an entirely new way, travelers can then embark on scenic river and ocean cruises from  Portugal’s port cities, or fly with TAP to another European destination.
