Where to visit in Spain
Our travel experts have collated their top recommendations of where to visit in Spain.
Barcelona
One of the world’s most beautiful cities, Barcelona is home to magnificent architecture, most notably by Antoni Gaudi, like the Sagrada Familia which fuses art nouveau, gothic and modernism styles in unprecedented ways. You’ll find history around nearly every corner, countless art museums, including one of the greatest collections of Pablo Picasso’s works, and outstanding shopping. If you’re here during the warmer months of the year, there are sandy beaches with water ideal for swimming. The Catalonia region is also renowned for its cuisine, with dishes often prepared in unusual combinations like poultry with fruit or meat and seafood.
Bilbao
Located in the northern Basque region, Bilbao is a thriving city surrounded by lush rolling hills with a spectacular coastline a short jaunt from the city center. It’s renowned for its gastronomy, with everything from traditional family-run eateries and Michelin-starred restaurants to pintxo bars, wine bars and cafes, all offering their own take on Basque fare. Its impressive architecture includes everything from historic to modern, like the glistening titanium-clad Guggenheim museum and timeless beauties, including an art nouveau train station, neo-baroque theater and some magnificent cathedrals.
Cordoba
Cordoba is an ancient Andalusian city that boasts world-renowned Moorish architecture and a revitalized riverside lined with cafes and bars. The Mezquita-Catedral is the top attraction, originally a mosque built in the 10th century before becoming a cathedral, and it’s worth a visit on its own as a symbol of the sophisticated culture that was flourishing here over a millennium ago when the city was the capital of Islamic Spain. You’ll find the most authentic charms while strolling the meandering stone paved lanes that lie east, north and west of the tourist center.
Granada
Located in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, Granada is known for spectacular examples of medieval architecture dating to the Moorish occupation, especially the Alhambra, a Moorish masterpiece and huge complex with three palaces and gorgeous gardens with fountains, pools and courtyards. The only preserved palatine city from the Islamic period, it’s considered one of the best examples of Nasrid art. The city also offers many lively public squares with outdoor cafes and restaurants for people watching, as well as the impressive Granada Cathedral and regular traditional flamenco performances.
Madrid
The exciting Spanish capital boasts gorgeous parks, picturesque boulevards and some of the world’s most famous works of art. In the Museo del Prado you’ll find many impressive Spanish, Flemish and Italian works with thousands of paintings and hundreds of sculptures. Madrid also hosts countless art galleries, theaters, live music venues and many other options for delving into the buzzing nightlife. The culinary scene is world-class, with authentic Spanish tapas a must try – visitors can even take a tapas tour for an especially immersive experience.
Marbella
The chicest resort town along the Costa del Sol, Marbella lies at the foot of the Sierra Blanca, home to beautiful beaches, including El Fuerte and La Fontanilla, its two main stretches along with more secluded options. For over 60 years, it’s remained unrivaled as the go-to spot for the wealthy, with those who come to see and be seen found on its idyllic sands and exclusive nightclubs. History buffs will find glimpses of its past in medieval ruins, ancient Moorish walls and a palatial town hall, while foodies can dine in Michelin-starred restaurants.
San Sebastian
San Sebastian along Spain’s northern coast, part of the Basque Autonomous Community, may be one of the country’s most underrated destinations. While it was named one of Europe’s two cities of culture for 2016, few travelers seem to venture there. It offers something for nearly everyone, including a gastronomic scene that’s been called one of the world’s best, with the second-most Michelin stars per capita, and a very impressive tapas culture, best enjoyed with the local fizzy txakoli wine. The nightlife is hopping and there are gorgeous beaches for sunbathing and surfing too.
Santiago De Compostela
Santiago de Compostela is the final stop on the epic Camino de Santiago pilgrimage trail, one of Europe’s most famous pilgrimage routes with over 100,000 people undertaking the journey to reach the resting place of St James every year. Of course, you don’t have to be a pilgrim to enjoy the medieval city, considered one of the most beautiful in all of Galicia. It’s enjoyable just to wander through, strolling the cobbled streets to admire the unique mix of baroque, Romanesque and Gothic buildings and take advantage of the trendy literary cafes hosting local music and poetry readings.
Seville
The mesmerizing city of Seville is Spain’s fourth biggest, known for its lively spirit with passionate locals proudly preserving its heritage through music and dance. It has an impressive collection of monuments, charming cobbled streets and enticing courtyard patios, with the best way to experience it simply wandering down its storied streets. Enjoy a stroll through the Santa Cruz neighborhood, the old Jewish Quarter, to find hidden ancient landmarks and be sure to cross the bridge to Triana to take in the vibrant flamenco scene.
Toledo
Just south of Madrid, Toledo is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, known as the “City of the Three Cultures,” where Christian, Muslims and Jewish faiths all harmoniously co-exist. Dramatically set atop a gorge as a natural fortress with timeless beauty, it’s one of Spain’s most magnificent cities, with its top attractions the monuments and religious centers. Some of its landmarks are more than 800 years old, attracting many to experience its layers of culture and history that are wrapped into winding streets.
Valencia
The capital of Costa del Sol, Valencia is renowned for its stunning Mediterranean coastline, vibrant festivals and Calatrava architecture, though many say it’s worth the visit just to try the paella alone. The city is the birthplace of one of Spain’s most popular dishes, a mixture of seafood, meat, vegetables, and rice flavored with saffron. At its center is a bullfighting ring, picturesque old buildings and squares, along with an endless array of tapas bars. You’ll also find fantastic cheap menu del dias that include a hearty starter, entrée, your choice of drink (including wine and beer), and dessert or coffee.
