Best Locations in Spain

Long a meeting point (and battleground) for myriad civilizations , the country brims over with remnants of a glorious, chaotic past. Fascinating pre-historical, Classical, Moorish and Christian sites rub shoulders with the marvellous legacies of 20th-century artists.
Santiago de Compostela: World Heritage City and capital of Galicia, is the final landmark on the St. James pilgrimage route. Centuries of splendour and development have left us an urban layout in which the medieval Christian heritage is mixed with monumental Baroque buildings. Segovia: whose old town and Roman aqueduct are World Heritage, is located on high ground between the channels of the rivers Eresma and Clamores. Salamanca: One of the oldest university cities in Spain remains young and erudite thanks to a monumental layout teeming with churches, places and ancestral homes. This city, a World Heritage Site and European City of Culture in 2002, is the perfect base from which to tour the province. Cuenca:This city in the province of La Mancha, which is a World Heritage Site, lies between the gorges of the Júcar and Huécar rivers. Its monumental historic quarter lies beside rocky walls in the heart of the Cuenca mountains. The Cathedral, Casas Colgadas (Hanging Houses) and cobbled streets charm the most hardened traveller. Toledo: Toledo is one of the Spanish cities with the greatest wealth of monuments. Known as the “city of the three cultures”, because Christians, Arabs and Jews lived together there for centuries, behind its walls Toledo preserves an artistic and cultural legacy in the form of churches, palaces, fortresses, mosques and synagogues. Caceres: More than ten towers dominate the historic quarter of Caceres, delimited by Arab walls. Cobbled streets marked by medieval, fortified homes and Renaissance palaces make up the most beautiful sceneries in this city, which was declared World Heritage.
