Spain is bustling with culture, color, coastlines and things to do! From renowned cities to serene islands, here are the top 5 places to visit when in Spain.
5. Madrid
Being the capital city, it is full of life and culture. Madrid is a mix of century-old landmarks and modern energy, giving it the perfect elegant vibe. When in Madrid, you can explore the famous “Museo del Prado,” which is filled with masterpieces by Spanish legends such as Velazquez and Goya. You can also take a walk though “El Retiro,” a stunning park in the heart of the city.
4. Valencia
Valencia tends to fly under the radar compared to other bigger cities, but it shouldn’t. Located on the Mediterranean coast and ranked “Top 3 cities to live in the world,” it’s a blend of historic Spanish charm and futuristic style. The shocking facade of “The City of Arts and Sciences” makes it look straight out of a sci-fi movie, while the Old Town brags of colorful buildings, gothic architecture and palm trees. Home of the paella, eating it by the beach is a must when in Valencia.
3. Canary islands
Located off the coast of northwestern Africa, the Spanish Archipelago is a dream for adventurers, sun and sight-seekers. Tenerife, the largest island, is home of “Mount Teide” which is the highest peak in Spain. Lanzarote is full of black-sand beaches and lava fields, giving an otherworldly loof to the island. Whether you are booking for surfing, hiking or relaxing by the water, the Canaries are the perfect place.
2. Barcelona
Barcelona is the city of everything: iconic art and architecture, buzzing street life, beach and culture. Antony Gaudí decorated the city with the whimsical “Park Güell,” while his masterpiece “La Sagrada Familia” towers over the city. Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter is filled with medieval alleys, live music and cafes. Eating tapas in “La Rambla” or relaxing by the beach are a must, and if you’re lucky, enjoy a football match of the FC Barcelona in “Camp Nou” stadium.
1.Ibiza
The tiny island in the Mediterranean might be known worldwide for its epic nightlife (and yes, it is) but there is so much more to the island. Turquoise waters, scenic hikes, white villages and hidden coves are just some of the beauties the island offers. The unique magic of the island is a magnet to everyone. No matter our travel style, Ibiza will leave you breathless. Whether you visit the spiritual landmark of “Es Vedra,” the historical Old Town of Dalt Vila, enjoy the sea or visit the top clubs in the world, Ibiza has a place for you. This makes it the number one place to visit in Spain if not the world.
