Barcelona - Region
Catalonia
Capital of Catalonia, Barcelona is Spain's hippest and most cosmopolitan city. It boasts beautiful architecture, world-class museums and art galleries and some of the most fashionable shopping in Europe.
Ciutat Vella, Barcelona's historic quarter. The architecture in these neighborhoods went up between the 13th and 15th centuries, spilling over the old Roman walls and laying the foundations for what has become the most complete Gothic quarter in the world.
Eixample is a well-planned quarter laid out in a tidy grid of modernist architecture. The most impressive of these is Gaudi's soaring Sagrada Familia, though most of his inner-city designs are within walking distance of each other. The shops and hotels in Eixample have a distinct character, setting an ideal tone for morning and evening walks.

Travel to Bilbao (Region Basque Country)
- Bilbao is a lively and vibrant provincial capital considered to be the
center of finance and culture. It makes up the majority of what is known as
the Greater Bilbao metropolitan area, and has an approximate number of close
to one million people residing in the Lower Nervión river valley. The
aforementioned river is very important because both of its banks continue to
be the source of life for the capital as well as the province. The modern
highway network keeps Bilbao connected to the rest of Spain and Europe. It
is also the proud and permanent venue of the International Samples Trade
Fair. The international airport found in the Cantabrian seaboard made by the
renowned Santiago Calatrava is also an invaluable asset of Bilbao.

Travel to Cordoba (Region
Andalucia) - for
the miraculous Mezquita, which, depending on your perspective, is a
wonderful blending of Islamic and Christian architecture, or an absurd
display of vandalism by the latter on the former. Either way, a visit to the
Mezquita - or the "Holy Cathedral Church (former Mosque of Cordoba)", as it
is described in local tourist literature - is a highlight of any trip to
Spain. Far from creating awe with steepling, vaulting verticality, the
mosque created by Abd al-Rahman I is a maze of low, red-and-white striped
arches, stretching in all directions. Truly amazing. And the bird watching
along the nearby river is excellent, too.

Málaga (Region Andalucia)
Malaga, a tourist hot spot, with plenty of beaches such as the Costa del Sol, but with other attractions, such as the Alcazaba fortress, the botanical gardens and the new, backstreet Picasso Museum, dedicated to the works of the city's most famous son. So much to see, so little time. One solution is to locate centrally in an area such as the Subbetica, making day trips to the bigger cities and coming home to the setting sun, a bottle of wine and a view of the olive groves. There are hundreds of pretty, unspoilt villages to choose from.

Valencia
(Region
Valencian Community)
- There are so many cultural and historical monuments, tourists can easily
spend a day or two strolling the narrow, cobblestone streets, enjoying the
cafes and wandering into museums. Getting around is quick and easy, thanks
to five metro lines, a tram line and an urban bus network. Cabs must be
called, not hailed. Valencia's Mediterranean topless-optional public beach
-- four miles long and 100 yards wide -- has plenty of room for volleyball,
pedal boats and lots of bare skin. A wide promenade accommodates strollers,
roller skaters and cyclists. When summer days become summer nights, the
crowds move to the terrace restaurants, bars and night markets.

Once away from the holiday costas, you could only be in
Spain. In the cities, narrow twisting old streets suddenly open out to views
of daring modern architecture, while spit-and-sawdust bars serving wine from
the barrel rub shoulders with blaring, glaring discos. Travel is easy, accommodation plentiful, the climate benign, the people
relaxed, the beaches long and sandy, the food and drink easy to come by and
full of regional variety. More than 50 million foreigners a year visit
Spain, yet you can also travel for days and hear nothing but Spanish.

Spain Tourist Attractions
Spain, one of the largest countries in Europe, occupies four-fifths of
the Iberian Peninsula. A land of extraordinary geographical and cultural
diversity, it has much to offer the tourist. While the Mediterranean beach
resorts on the Costa Blanca, Costa Brava and
Costa del Sol continue to
attract sun seekers, the north coast is gradually gaining in popularity. But
there is a great deal more to Spain than the beaches. The terrain is
amazingly diverse with a huge variety of landscapes: deciduous and
coniferous forests, arid plains, salt marshes, rocky bays and coves, peaks,
verdant river valleys and mountain streams.
One of the most pleasurable ways to discover Spain’s natural beauty and
abundant wildlife is to visit one of the National Parks. Walks, hiking
trails and jeep excursions enable visitors to explore marshes and wetlands,
coastal dunes, isolated mountain peaks and Atlantic beaches. At certain
times of the year the skies are filled with migrating birds heading for
North Africa and the parks are also the habitat of a wealth of indigenous
flora and fauna. Special mention should be made of rare and endangered
species like the royal eagle, the capercaillie (woodcock) and the Pyrenean
mountain goat. The major national parks in mainland Spain are: Coto de
Doñana (provinces of Seville and Huelva), Tablas de Daimiel (La Mancha),
Ordesa (Huesca Pyrenees), Aigües Tortes (Lleida) and Montaña de Covadonga (Picos
de Europa).
Over the centuries, Spain’s indigenous and conquering peoples have left
an indelible legacy. Cromlechs and cave paintings from the prehistoric
period, temples and aqueducts from the Roman occupation, Romanesque
churches, Moorish baths, mosques and fortresses, medieval cathedrals and
castles, Renaissance and Baroque palaces, the modernist architecture of
Antoni Gaudí and his contemporaries, as well as present-day masterpieces
like the Guggenheim museum in Bilbao and the City of Arts and Sciences in
Valencia. more about the tourist
