City attractiveness |
Because of its
rich history, Barcelona is filled with
landmark buildings and world-class museums.
These include Antoni Gaudí's famed Sagrada
Família, the Museu Picasso, the Gothic
cathedral, and Les Rambles, the famous tree-lined
promenade cutting through the heart of the
old quarter. |
The foremost
reason to go to Granada is to visit the
magnificent Alhambra, one of the great
sights of Europe, built by the Moors in the
13th century. |
As you walk the
streets of Madrid, you never know what
you'll find around the next corner -- a
festive tapas bar, a wedding party spilling
out of a medieval church, a pack of
meandering troubadours. |

paradise between the sky and the earth,”
Malaga has a lot to offer. |
Marbella has a charm and
character all of its own and different to
any other Spanish town or city. |
Salamanca is a city of
many faces: cultural, monumental, dedicated
to the service industry, university-oriented
(with two universities and almost 40,000
students) and home to cattle breeders and
matadors alike. |
