In this section we recommend you some places
worth visiting. If you are planning your trip to Spain and you haven’t decided
yet where to go, you may find good ideas for your destination in this section.
Here is our selection of best sites in Spain:
Main cities:
The larger Spanish cities are Madrid, capital city of the country, and
Barcelona, in Catalonia.
Madrid
is the capital of Spain, seat to the administration and government of the
country. If you like art, don’t miss its famous museums: Museo del Prado and
Reina Sofia. Other “must see” places are the Palacio Real
and the city
square. Walking on the streets of the city you’ll find that its architecture,
entertainment and liveliness make of Madrid a unique city.
Barcelona is a special city, perhaps thanks to the contribution of Gaudi's
architecture or the special character of Catalonian people; undoubtedly
Barcelona is one of the best places to visit in Spain. In the city don’t miss
to visit La Rambla street, the Sagrada Familia cathedral, the Guell park and
beaches such as Barceloneta.
Andalusia
is the Southern most region of Spain, famous by its Moorish remainders, the
religious fervour of its people, its beautiful beaches, picturesque villages,
and of course for being the cradle of Flamenco music and dances. Where to go in
Andalusia? Well, we would choose to see Seville, Córdoba and Granada.
Seville
is probably the most popular city in Andalusia. Its splendid architecture and
famous festivities (especially the Eastern parades and April fair) attract many
tourists. Visit its beautiful Cathedral, with the tomb of Christopher Columbus
and the Giralda tower. Across the cathedral square, you’ll find the Alcazar,
an awesome medieval Islamic palace. Last but not least, take a look at the
astonishing Plaza de España where all the provinces of Spain are represented.
Granada
will be another city worth visiting if you travel to Andalusia. In Granada, you
cannot miss a visit to the Alhambra Palace set at the foothill of Sierra Nevada
Mountains. Besides sightseeing in the city, you will be able to practice skiing
in the famous sky resort of Sierra Nevada.
Cordoba
is considered by many one of the most beautiful cities of the South of Spain,
its famous Mezquita (mosque) is one of the greatest treasures of the Moorish-Andalusian
art with its extraordinary red and white arches.
The Costa del Sol
beaches have been for years the favourite destination of travellers seeking to
spend their holiday sunbathing and enjoining good weather.
The centre of the country
displays a completely different Spain, more traditional and quiet, a landscape
of endlessly wide plains, austere cities, fortresses, Roman churches and the
famous Windmills of the story of don Quijote, this is Castile. Cities worth
visiting are: Avila, Cuenca, Toledo, Salamanca,
and Segovia, most of these cities have been declared by UNESCO World Heritage
Sites.
Eastern Spain
recalls of Mediterranean culture, fruits and of course excellent beaches and
tourist resorts.
Valencia is the capital city of the Costa Blanca, another of the remarkable
Spanish beach resorts. Don’t miss a visit to its City of Arts and Sciences
with amazing eye-shaped buildings.
The North of Spain
keeps the legacy of the Celts who settled in Asturias and Galicia. The Northern
cities are famous by its gastronomy (seafood, fish and “tapas” are
excellent) and its green valleys. If you don’t know where to go when visiting
the North of Spain, don’t miss Bilbao and its Guggenheim
Museum, Santiago
de Compostela (Saint James)
and its famous cathedral where thousands of Pilgrims arrive every year. San
Sebastian, Gijón or La
Coruña are other cities worth paying a visit to.
Besides the inland Spain, there are also famous
Spanish islands, like the Balearic Isles, and The Canary Isles.
