Sunny skies, rich history, and vibrant culture make Spain a dream destination! From my many, many trips travelling around this sun-soaked country I can’t wait to show you my favorite finds…
1. Seville, Andalusia
My photo of Alcázar Palace in Seville – I was in awe of how intricate it was!I snapped this photo at the Royal Alcázar of Seville – the palace gardens were dreamy, with fountains, palm trees!
Home to a UNESCO World Heritage Site complex of Seville Cathedral, Alcázar Palace , and Archivo de Indias I was a huge fan of the romantic and captivating city of Seville. I discovered a truly enchanting mix of grand Moorish palaces, stunning historic architecture, sunlit courtyards filled with orange trees, mesmerising flamenco dancing, and a vibrant, lively atmosphere that never fails to draw me in!
I stayed here for a magical three days and as well as ticking off all the icons I climbed the iconic Giralda Tower, wandered the narrow streets of the charming Santa Cruz neighbourhood, caught an authentic flamenco show at Casa de la Memoria, took a dreamy boat ride in the ornate Plaza de España and feasted on Espinacas con Garbanzos at El Pasaje Santa María – a flavourful dish of wilted spinach, chickpea and sherry vinegar!
Best time to visit: May and Autumn (when temperatures are cooler).
My personal highlights…
Staying at the characterful 4-star boutique Hotel Posada del Lucero – I was charmed by the restored 16th-century building, the pretty courtyard with fountains and the fabulous rooftop pool where I gazed at the tiled rooftops of the city.
2. Granada, Andalusia
My photo of Alhambra Palace – it was so stunning and zen-like!I snapped the Granada Views – this was of the views that completely won me over!
Boasting prehistoric origins and a rich blend of Islamic, Jewish, and Christian heritage, this unique historic city was a gem! It was very easy-on-the-eye, with a heady mix of Moorish palaces, blooming gardens, and sweeping panoramic views, all wrapped in an intoxicating charm where history, art, and natural beauty weave a truly magical spell!
I spent a wonderful three days here exploring the jaw-dropping Alhambra Palace (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) and its ornate Generalife gardens, wandering through the maze-like streets of the historic Albaicín district, enjoying a fiery flamenco performance, discovering the awe-inspiring Granada Cathedral, visiting the Royal Chapel where the Catholic Monarchs rest and trying typical Andalusian dish of slightly caramelised Berenjenas Fritas (crispy fried aubergine slices) at La Telefonica Restaurant.
Best time to visit: spring and autumn (for cooler temperatures)
My favourite highlights…
Staying at the wonderful 4-star Vincci Albayzin – I adored the Moorish heritage inspired interiors, the classic Andalusian-style courtyard (which had gorgeous ornate tile work), the relaxing sauna and the gourmet restaurant where I dined on grilled vegetable couscous infused with Ras el Hanout spices!
3. Barcelona, Catalonia
My photo taken from Parc Güell in Barcelona – it was a truly Insta-worthy view!My original photo of Casa Batlló in Barcelona, taken during my summer 2024 trip — I was mesmerized by Gaudí’s dreamlike design!
I adore this energetic and hugely artistic city! I adore Gaudí’s whimsical architecture, the bustling streets, sandy beaches, and the captivating blend of history, art, and laid-back Mediterranean cool that makes this city absolutely irresistible. I fall in love with this proud capital of Catalonia every time I visit (and that’s quite often)!
I spent a few days at Hotel SB Glow 4 Sup and marveled at Gaudí’s masterpieces, from the intricate facades and towering spires of Sagrada Família to the whimsical Casa Milà and the colorful mosaics of Park Güell, strolling down bustling Las Ramblas, and exploring the historic Gothic Quarter.
I also relaxed on the glamorous main beach, soaking in panoramic views from Montjuïc Hill, visiting the famous Picasso Museum, indulging in world-class shopping on Passeig de Gràcia, enjoying live music in El Raval, savoring local cuisine at the spirited La Boqueria Market and sipping on Pineapple-infused Caribbean Storm cocktails accompanied by amazing sunset views at the Azimuth Rooftop Bar.
Getting lost in the mysterious Gothic Quarter – I loved narrow medieval streets lined with trendy bars, clubs, and dining on earthy and aromatic flatbread topped with grilled zucchini, mushrooms and onions at the superb Catalan restaurant L’Antic Bocoi del Gòtic.
4. Costa Brava, Catalonia
My photo of Girona riverside houses – I loved how the colorful facades reflected beautifully in the River Onyar
I escape to this picturesque coastal region when I want an alternative to the busier Spanish resorts! It’s a dreamy, rugged haven with dramatic cliffs, hidden coves, shimmering turquoise waters, charming seaside villages, protected natural parks, and a laid-back yet sophisticated vibe enriched with a love of art.
I spent a magical few weeks at contemporary 4-star Hotel Maritim here just kicking back on the pristine beaches, exploring the charming villages (turned beach resorts) of Cadaqués and Tossa de Mar, hiking the scenic Cami de Ronda coastal paths, visiting the Dalí Theatre-Museum in Figueres, and discovered the ancient ruins of Empúries.
I also dined on delicious, Catalan cuisine, discovered the medieval charm of Pals with its cobblestone streets, snorkelled in the clear waters of the Medes Islands, exploring the rugged Cap de Creus Natural Park and discovering the Insta-worthy colourful riverside houses of Girona (my photo is above).
Visiting Salvador Dalí’s house in Portlligat – I was in awe of its labyrinthine design, the quirky giant egg decor and stunning views of the serene Cadaqués Bay which I found out from the guide had inspired much of his art!
5. Valencia, Valencia Region
My snap of City of Arts and Sciences (Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias) – the city was a striking mix of old and new!I took this of La Lonja de la Seda (The Silk Exchange) in Valencia – the historic buildings were very well preserved!
Birthplace of paella, my all-time favorite Spanish dish I thought this was the very fine culturally rich coastal city! On my visit, I felt it had everything—stunning historic landmarks, awe-inspiring futuristic architecture, gorgeous Mediterranean beaches, lively festivals like Las Fallas, easy-on-the-eye parks, and an irresistible blend of old-world charm and modern cool!
I stayed for four days at the dreamy 4-star Saman Hotel Boutique, which was just enough to take in the jaw-dropping City of Arts and Sciences, wander through the historic Old Town to discover the Valencia Cathedral and Silk Exchange, relax on its superb sandy beaches (my favourite was the local haunt La Malvarrosa!), people-watch in the elegant Plaza de la Reina, and enjoy the vibrant nightlife in the trendy Ruzafa neighbourhood!
Bargain hunting and trying local food at Valencia’s Central Market – I especially loved the gourmet coffee at La Boutique Del Cafe.
Dining on creative, locally inspired dishes at the award-winning Karak restaurant – their version of Gazpacho was divine!
6. Malaga, Malaga Province
My photo of Plaza de la Constitución – it had a very buzzy vibe!My photo of Alcazaba of Málaga – it was a gorgeous place!My Instagram Gallery shot of Playa de la Malagueta in Malaga – it was dreamy!
This sunny, cosmopolitan, and increasingly popular city destination is a standout on the Costa del Sol! While the region’s concrete high-rises lack traditional charm, I found Málaga to be the exception, offering the perfect mix of golden beaches, a fascinating art scene, historic landmarks, and a buzzy, youthful vibe. I also love that it still has some grittier parts which makes it a little edgier.
I spent a long weekend at the chic and trendy 4-star ICON Malabar and explored the historic Alcazaba and Gibralfaro Castle, visited the Picasso Museum, strolled along the charming Muelle Uno waterfront, relaxed on the golden sandy beaches, enjoyed the panoramic views from the Málaga Cathedral’s rooftop, discovered the pretty Jardin Botanico Historico La Concepcion Gardens and wandered the old town which was brimming with excellent restaurants, cafes and bars.
Exploring the family-friendly Playa de la Misericordia, which had long, dark sands and unique chimney monument, and Playa del Palo, which charmed me with its picturesque promenade and traditional fishing village atmosphere.
Dining at the Doña Inés restaurant – I was won over by the creative Mediterranean dishes, the trendy decor and my dish of a Axarquía pepper salad with a sherry vinegar dressing which had quite a kick to it!
7. Marbella, Costa del Sol
This is a famously fun, and glitzy coastal city! It’s a popular tourist spot with a vibe that leans more Costa del Sol than refined, but there’s still plenty of beauty to enjoy! It boasts golden sandy beaches, sparkling Mediterranean waters, a charming Old Town, and gleaming moored yachts basking in the scorching sunshine.
I spent a week here and kayaked the scenic coastline, explored the Old Town with its narrow streets and orange tree-filled plazas, enjoyed luxury shopping in the gorgeous boutiques, gazed at flashy yachts in Puerto Banús, hiked La Concha Mountain, dined at Michelin-starred restaurants and checked out the buzzy nightlife on the famous Golden Mile!
Staying at the gorgeous gem the 4-star Linda Boutique Hotel – I was charmed by the bright, contemporary decor, the lovely rooftop terrace and its convenient location just steps away from the long, wide Venus Beach.
Watching the sunset at the stunning rooftop bar Air by Breathe – the experience was made even greater by gorging on on freshly made Lotus Root & Wild Mushroom Siu Mai washed down by a potent “Fowl Melon” cocktail!
8. San Sebastian, Basque Country
I’m an eternal fan of this sophisticated beachfront city! I love the luscious golden beaches (especially La Concha), the dramatic hills framing the bay, and the blend of elegant Belle Époque architecture with vibrant pintxos bars, making every corner feel like it belongs in a dreamy travel magazine spread (and boasts one of the highest concentrations of Michelin stars per capita in the world)!
I spent four days here relaxing on the crescent-shaped La Concha Beach, hiking up Monte Igueldo for stunning views, indulging in world-class dining at Michelin-starred restaurants and pintxos bars in the Parte Vieja, exploring the elegant Miramar Palace, strolling along the glistening harbour, and immersing myself in Basque culture through its fascinating museums and lively festivals.
Staying at the stunning 4-star boutique Catalonia Donosti – I love how it was housed in a meticulously restored 17th- and 18th-century convent, the dreamy rooftop terrace and pool, and the refined elegant decor which featured rich red velvets and marble.
Exploring the Old Town, losing myself amongst the elegant narrow streets and stopping by Sirimiri Gastroleku for a tasty mushroom risotto and patatas bravas.
Relaxing on Zurriola Beach, which was a smaller and less crowded alternative to La Concha Beach – I loved the trendy cafes there especially the health-focused Alabama Café where I dined on ecological toast dripping with peanut butter and cinnamon!
9. Pueblos Blancos, Andalusia
My photo of whitewashed village of Genalguacil – it was a unique sight!
I was in awe of this unique and spellbinding place! Here, a collection of picturesque villages cling to the steep hillsides, their dazzling whitewashed houses and narrow cobblestone streets lined with blooming bougainvilleas. Charming old churches add to the timeless atmosphere, while jaw-dropping views of lush valleys and rugged mountains – I felt like I was stepping straight into a postcard!
I was completely won over by its intriguing, almost mysterious vibe, with labyrinth-like streets, hidden courtyards, and echoes of ancient Moorish influences
I stayed here for three days and wandered the sleepy old town and gorgeous villages – I loved Grazalema for its elegant square, textile shops, and picturesque trails; Vejer de la Frontera for its flower-filled patios and stunning hilltop views; and Arcos de la Frontera for its cliffside setting, medieval charm, and 11th-century castle.
I also marvelled at ancient Moorish architecture, hiked the photogenic trails of Sierra de Grazalema, and gorged on tapas (my favourite was Berenjenas con miel – crispy fried eggplant drizzled with cane honey) while soaking up the sweeping views of the stunning Andalusian countryside.
Best time to visit: spring (to avoid the crowds and see the wildflowers).
My favourite highlights…
Staying at the unique boutique Hotel Plaza 18 – Grupo Califa – I was a huge fan of the immaculately restored 19th-century manor it was housed in, the underground massage room and the afternoon tea which came with homemade pastries (my favourite were the flaky almond cakes and the Jasmine Pearl Green Tea)!
10. Ronda, Malaga
My photo of Puente Nuevo (New Bridge) in Ronda – it was seriously Insta-worthy!My shot of Puente Nuevo (New Bridge) in Ronda – it was really a stunning beauty spot!
I thought this was such a tranquil but very Insta-worthy gem! I loved its dramatic clifftop setting, where whitewashed buildings seem to teeter on the edge of the breathtaking El Tajo Gorge, connected by the stunning Puente Nuevo bridge spanning lush, sprawling valleys – when I saw it in person, my jaw dropped; it was truly that magnificent!
I drove the winding, hairpin roads for an hour and a half from Málaga and was immediately struck by how peaceful it was. Over a few days, I walked across the jaw-dropping Puente Nuevo for epic gorge views, explored the ancient Arab Baths and the beautifully preserved Palacio de Mondragón, sipped wine at the charming family-run Bodega García Hidalgo, and wandered the cobbled streets of the Old Town, lined with fascinating shops, inviting restaurants, and pretty gardens.
Staying at the wonderful restored 18th-century palace 4-star Hotel Soho Boutique Palacio San Gabriel – I especially loved how it still had the coat of arms of the former owners above the door, the private cinema room and the cosy library filled with fascinating Spanish history books (I was hooked on Ghosts of Spain: Travels Through a Country’s Hidden Past by Giles Tremlett)!
11. The Balearic Islands
My photo of Palma Harbour – the glistening yachts were stunning!I took this snap of Palma Old Town as I wandered through the narrow cobbled streets, and honey-coloured stone buildings!
The dreamy islands of Ibiza, Majorca, Formentera, and Menorca are some of the most idyllic in Europe! They’re all a gorgeous combo of calm and energy – azure waters, pretty villages, golden sands, and restaurants that never fail to seriously impress me!
Located in the Mediterranean Sea off Spain’s eastern coast, Majorca is a timeless favorite, Ibiza attracts party lovers to its buzzing Playa d’en Bossa, while Formentera and Menorca offer a quieter, laid-back vibe. Although these islands can be overrun with tourists during peak summer months, they still hide plenty of unspoiled gems waiting to be discovered.
I often stay for a week or two at a time, lounging on pristine beaches with turquoise waters, partying until dawn in Ibiza’s iconic clubs, exploring Majorca’s stunning mountain villages and the breathtaking Tramuntana range, cycling through Menorca’s scenic countryside, and uncovering Formentera’s dreamy hidden coves.
Staying at the characterful 4-star boutique Can Joan Capo in Majorca – I loved sleeping in a four-poster bed, swimming in the ornate courtyard saltwater pool and dining on a gourmet wild mushroom and truffle risotto.
12. Formentera, Balearic Islands
My snap of Es Pujols Beach on the island in Formentera taken in summer 2025My photograph of La Savina port in Formentera taken in summer 2025 – it was a marina full of glistening yachts!
This is a wonderful paradise-like gem! It felt like stepping into a sun-soaked dream, with its crystal-clear turquoise waters, powdery white sand beaches, and an irresistibly laid-back vibe! Strict regulations prohibiting high-rises, preserving its stunning natural beauty and laid-back vibe.
I stayed here for a week, lounging on the breathtaking Ses Illetes Beach, jet skiing, cycling along scenic coastal paths, exploring the charming village of Sant Francesc Xavier, catching heavenly sunset views at the Cap de Barbaria Lighthouse, and snorkelling among the dazzling marine life protected by the Posidonia meadows.
Staying at the 4-star Hotel Riu Palace La Mola – I was really won over by the trendy boho decor, the three adult swimming pools, the gourmet food and their divine Strawberry Margaritas!
Sunbathing on the intimate Cala Saona beach – I loved the tranquil, intimate vibe and how it was dotted with traditional fishermen’s huts (otherwise known as as llauts)!
13. Teide National Park, Tenerife
Located in central Tenerife in Spain’s Canary Islands, off the northwest coast of Africa, Mount Teide is the country’s highest peak, an active volcano, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and a hotspot for stargazing, unique wildlife, and hiking adventures.
I spent an entire day here exploring the otherworldly volcanic landscapes, riding the cable car near Mount Teide’s summit for breathtaking views, stargazing under some of the clearest skies in the world, hiking trails through lava fields and unique rock formations, and marveling at the striking Roques de García.
Going on a fun three hour Guided Off-Road Quad Tour – I especially loved the off-road segment which took us through very challenging and steep terrain and the hearty pizza and arancini lunch!
14. Zaragoza, Aragon Region
My snap of Zaragoza cathedral view – the views were breathtaking!I took this of Bridge Pavilion (Pabellón Puente) – I was in awe of how futuristic it looked!
I think this artistic city is just so underrated! Often overlooked by the average tourist, I personally think it’s an incredible blend of history, art, and culture, with striking landmarks, ancient Roman ruins, and superb architecture in distinctive Mudéjar, Gothic, Baroque, and ultra-contemporary styles.
I stayed for a two day trip at the chic and trendy 4-star INNSiDE by Meliá Zaragoza and that was plenty of time to explore the iconic Baroque church Basilica del Pilar which was home to mural paintings by Francisco de Goya, visit the medieval Aljafería Palace, and wander through the ancient Roman ruins.
I also strolled around the impressive Goya Museum, explored the futuristic Zaragoza Bridge (my photo is above) and enjoyed tasty tapas in the El Tubo district, which I discovered to be a true culinary hotspot!
Best time to visit: May to October (for the best weather)
My highlights…
Taking the elevator up the Torre Del Pilar and seeing 360-degree views of the city including a bird’s-eye view of the basilica’s domes and rooftops, the Ebro River and the historic stone bridge (see my photo above)!
15. Tarragona, Catalonia
I took this of Tarragona – I loved gazing at the views at the historic Old TownMy photo of Playa del Miracle in Tarragona – it was an Insta-worthy moment!
I personally think Tarragona is such an overlooked hidden gem! I thought it was the perfect blend of sun-drenched beaches, fascinating Roman ruins like the thought-provoking amphitheater by the sea, charming old streets, bustling seaside promenades, and a laid-back, authentic Mediterranean vibe!
I took the 40-minute high-speed train from Barcelona and spent two days at the chic 4-star H10 Imperial Tarraco 4 Sup, taking in the impressive Roman amphitheater and aqueduct, soaking up the sun on the pretty Playa del Miracle, wandering the narrow streets of the Old Town filled with charming shops, cafés, and restaurants, visiting the grand Tarragona Cathedral, and discovering the lively Fishermen’s Quarter.

My shot of Santiago de Compostela – the whole place had a unique vibe!I took this shot of Santiago de Compostela – I loved wandering its atmospheric old streets!
This fine historic city is also a world-famous pilgrimage destination! I fell for its intriguing and soulful energy, its fine world-famous cathedral, atmospheric cobblestone streets, cultural attractions, and elegant plazas – I love that it has such a unique and distinct vibe compared to other major Spanish cities.
Located in Galicia, in the northwest of Spain, just above Portugal, it has a population of 95,000 people. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is renowned as the endpoint of the iconic Camino de Santiago pilgrimage. The frequent rain, even during summer, gives the city a unique and moody charm.
I spent two days here at the stunning 4-star Quinta Da Auga Hotel Spa Relais & Chateaux and marvelled at the breathtaking Santiago Cathedral, explored the charming Old Town with its cobblestone streets and lively squares, soaked up the atmosphere in the main square Praza do Obradoiro, and indulged in delicious Galician cuisine at cosy local taverns.
Climbing the four flights of stairs of the western façade of the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela and seeing the impressive views of the Plaza del Obradoiro (which was bustling with pilgrims!) and the cathedral’s intricate architecture!
17. Cíes Islands
Cíes Islands – the beaches were almost deserted when I visited and took this!My photo of Cíes Islands – the coastal views were incredible!
This is a idyllic and unique under-the-radar archipelago! They’re a group of three pristine islands with dreamy scenery, including powdery white beaches, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and lush green hills, making me feel like I’d stumbled upon my own little slice of paradise!
Nestled off the northwest coast of mainland Spain in the Galicia region, they’re part of the Atlantic Islands of Galicia National Park and have no permanent residents. I fell in love with their tranquil, untouched vibe—perfect for nature lovers like me—where the only sounds were the waves, seabirds, and the breeze through the trees!
I obtained a free permit from the Xunta de Galicia, took the 40-minute ferry from Vigo, and spent two blissful days on the islands, staying at the chic 4-star Attica21 Vigo 4 Superior.
I relaxed on the breathtaking Praia de Rodas (often called one of the best beaches in the world!), hiked the picture-perfect Monte Faro route, snorkelled in the crystal-clear waters teeming with fascinating marine life, and explored hidden coves and beaches by kayak!
Location: off the coast of Pontevedra in Galicia, northwest
Bird spotting! I was captivated by the feisty gulls squawking overhead and the noisy gannets swooping gracefully through the air!
18. The Pyrénées, the border of France and Spain
My photograph of the Pyrenees – it had a very different feel here to the rest of Spain and was much cooler in the summer!My shot of the Pyrenees taken in summer – it was so green and unspoilt!
These majestic peaks never fail to wow me! They’re a magical blend of soaring peaks, fertile valleys, shimmering clear lakes, charming villages, and a perfect balance of adventure and tranquility!
It’s a renowned mountain range spanning around 305 miles along the border between France and Spain, known as an outdoor adventure hub (including skiing in winter) and home to diverse wildlife like the Pyrenean chamois, brown bears, golden eagles, bearded vultures, and rare species such as the Pyrenean brook salamander.
I spent a week here staying at the Insta-worthy 4-star Hotel Rural-Spa Resguard Dels Vents hiking the incredible GR10 and Cirque de Gavarnie trails, climbing the awe-inspiring Pic du Midi d’Ossau, exploring the charming village of Saint-Lary-Soulan, relaxing in the natural hot springs at Ax-les-Thermes, and discovering the stunning Ordesa y Monte Perdido National Park.

Oh, the first place you listed that is Pueblos Blancos reminds me of Greece even though I’ve never been there. By the way, about Greece, I was in Cheshme in Turkey 2 years ago and this city is also look alike Greece because this nation was living there for some period of time and left their architecture. Sorry for changing the topic just wanted to share!
Would love to visit Valencia and Seville. Have travelled to San Sebastian and surrounding areas of the Basque country which are so beautiful. Montserrat is another lovely place outside Barcelona.
Valencia is well worth a visit. Full of History with aLovely Cathedral and if you do go try a Horchata which is a Speriality of Valencia and it tastes delicious I can vouch for it as I love it there is a cafe near to the Cathedral which is well known for it’s Horchata and inside in fantastic to see lots of coloured tiles on the walls and floor and nicely air conditioned. The name of the cafe escapes me but it is well known it is on the Corner of the square near to the Cathedral MY brother and his wife took me there on a visit to Valencia especially to try the Horchata which they prepare If I may so so in Spanish Delicioso ‘o’ Que Rico. There is also the indoor market which is a must to visit and Lalon Ja the silk Market of old the inside is worth seeing because of the Spiral Pillars and a lovely small garden which one walks through the Silk market / room too. and also one or two museums which are also With a visit. I would definitely recommend . Valencia is one of my favourite Spanish Cities. Sevilla I am not to sure of, but I have read books on the mentioned; But it can get very HOT there especially in the summer and earlier so check on the weather before you go. From June through to August ( end of) particularly
I’ve done quite a bit of travelling for weekends away throughout Spain, however there is so much history and culture that you’ll always have something else on the list that you would like to visit and see. I haven’t been to Segovia yet so I’ll definitely be checking it out as you have posted above, looks amazing 😀
Love traveling to Spain. I was in Valencia back when I was kid in the 70’s! Would love to return to see the changes. 🙂 Also enjoyed Barcelona on one of our recent Mediterranean Cruises.
Enchanting the best plaza de espana the whole of spain, i really won’t do enough justice with my review of Seville’s Plaza de España you’ve got to see it yourself and do your oooh’s and aaahs. i never get tired of going to this place. luckily i lived in Seville a whole year plus the parque maria luisa is so close for a picnic and its in a great part of town
Congrats and thank you for the post. I would like to add some “do nots” 😉 for Segovia City and Province:
– Do not forget to watch the Alcazar and the Cathedral from La Cuesta de los Hoyos St.
– Do not forget to visit the palace of La Granja de San Ildefonso. Ah! The fountains work only twice a year.
– Do not forget to experience the dawn at Ermita de San Frutos surrounded by Duraton River (60km from Segovia)
– Do not forget to visit the village of Pedraza (crowded by weekends)
– Due to this is the heart of Castile, do not forget to visit the main castles in Coca, Turegano or Cuellar…
– Several Do’s: Segovia is 66km from Avila (surrounded by outstanding medieval walls), 53km from San Lorenzo de El Escorial Monastery, 50km from El Valle de los Caidos National Monument.
Hi. Of course there are 100 places in Spain with similar beauty than the 10 placed. I´d add for example Baeza, The Alpujarra villages, or Sos del Rey Catolico …
Good day! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance from an established blog.
Is it tough to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty fast. I’m thinking about making my
own but I’m not sure where to start. Do you have any ideas or suggestions? Thanks
Hey There. I found your weblog the use of msn. That is a very neatly written article. I will make sure to bookmark it and come back to learn more of your helpful info. Thank you for the post. I’ll certainly comeback.
Beautiful places! I can’t wait to visit them.
By the way, it’s called Plaza de España, not Espana, the ñ is an Spanish character which sounds different than the n (it would be similar to GN in gnome)
Oh, the first place you listed that is Pueblos Blancos reminds me of Greece even though I’ve never been there.

Spain is always a good idea 🙂
Seville is probably first on my list if I ever return to Spain, have so far only had the opportunity to see Barcelona, Valencia and Zaragoza. 🙂
Nice pictures! My favourite city is Barcelona.
