Best Places in
Spain - Planning
Your Itinerary
Every country is unique in its own fashion and Spain can boast a lot of
things that make it “the first”, “the
best”,
“the only one”, etc. Considering the above, it is
not an
easy task to draw a list of best
places in Spain, yet we've tried hard to pick those sights
that are sure to leave a lasting impression on everyone who chooses to travel Spain.
So, what are the best places in Spain worth
visiting to our opinion?
Catalonia's capital, Barcelona,
is
a great spot to start with, no doubt here. The city is always on the
cutting edge of architecture, industry and fashion. Some say it is even
more cosmopolitan than Madrid.
But do
visit Barcelona and judge for yourself. Stroll down the lively La
Rambla, come to admire the unfinished yet imposing Sagrada Familia,
marvel at the famous Barcelona Cathedral and spare some energy for the
night as the city changes its face after 10 PM. Birthplace of the
genial architect Antonia Gaudi, Barcelona boasts a number of unique
monuments like La Pedrera or the Parque Guell that may either seem
ingenious or ugly, but will not leave you indifferent for sure. You
could also take the advantage of Barcelona's coastal location and move
further to Costa Brave, France or the Balearic islands.
Another beautiful city on our list of best places in Spain is Madrid.
This is a treasure-trove of art works from different epochs and
cultures with the museums making up the Golden Triangle, including the
Museo del Prado. Besides, Madrid is a political core of the land as
most important Governmental institutions have their headquarters here.
The Palacio Real, Puerta del Sol and the rebuilt Opera House are just
some of the sights worth visiting in Madrid. Travel Spain and get some
exquisite entertainment of this vibrant world's capital!
Continue to travel Spain with a tour around Andalusia that has
beautifully preserved remnants of the Arabic rule; take a horse-driven
carriage ride in Seville, get to know the architectural masterpiece of
its Cathedral and Christopher Columbus' tomb with the Giralda,
photograph the Islamic palace of Alcazar and taste some tapas that are
said to have been invented in Seville.
Move to Cordoba to see why
UNESCO put this former capital of Umayyad Caliphate on the World
Heritage List. Make sure you visit the Mosque with the Santa Maria
Mayor cathedral. Take part in the Fallas festival of Valencia in
mid-March and check out the Granada's Alhambra...
Spain is a country that has enough sights to astonish and fascinate a
most fastidious traveler. But do not take it on trust! Travel Spain and
make certain for yourself!
