Spain Top Ten Attractions

Spain is absolutely full of places to see and do. These are my top ten of all the attractions.

The Alhambra - Granada

The "Red Palace" is one of Spain's most important historical monuments and tourist attractions. After checking both between Christians and Muslims, the Alhambra has flourished and benefited from any of its owners has added several buildings. The oldest part of the Alhambra is the Alcazaba, built on the ruins of a9. Century fortress. The world-famous gardens are incredibly beautiful.

La Mezquita - Cordoba

This is a Christian church, but you would not believe it at first sight, that is, being used by a mosque. The columns and arches, they must pass to reach the places of Christian pilgrimage are wonderful Arabic. The building dates from the 796th AD If you are within 200 miles to go and see him, you will not be disappointed.

BARCELONA

Revelling under influence Gaudi, Barcelona is one of thethe most beautiful cities in the world. Both modern and historic, Spanish or Catalan violently. Connected with high speed and excellent air links, this city is great and the web.

Tomatina - Bunyol near Valencia

This can be thought of as one of the craziest parties ever. It 's just a giant tomato fight, which is held every year in August and the conversion of Bunyol normally sleepy village in an asylum. The population swells during the 9000-30000Festival puts so book early if you want to know how to sign every hotel and hostel until the "no working month before the event. An hourly train service runs from Valencia, but a change of clothes if you want.

SCI - Sierra Nevada

One of the wonderful, quirky features, Spain can boast of is sun-drenched beaches and skiing. From the mountains of the Sierra Nevada, you can now enjoy the sun on the beach in one, so ski in the water and morning exerciseSkiing in the afternoon if you fancy it.

Guggenheim Museum - BILBAO

The American architect Frank O. Gehry has designed this impressive structure. It is located on a 32 500 square meters of land in the heart of Bilbao, has become a prominent landmark. The structure is an unusual fusion of blocks and curves of titanium covered with scales. The large de La Salve bridge actually passes through the building.

Roman ruins - MERIDA

It can take up to 6,000 spectators, is the Roman theater, athe main attractions in Merida. The nearby amphitheater was the site of battles between Roman gladiators and could hold up to 15,000 people. The political and cultural center of Rome was Hispania Merida by Muslims in 713 AD After a period of 500 years of decline of the city was virtually abandoned until 1500, he conquered.

CUENCA

Something like a hidden gem, it left a big impression on you Cuenca. Among its many impressive features are the "hanging houses" that clingprecariously on the side of the gorge. The Cathedral of Cuenca was in the early 13th century on the site of an ancient mosque, built. The facade was early in the 20th Century after the collapse of the tower Giraldillo be rebuilt.

TAPAS - Anywhere You Like

But instead of Andalusia. There is nothing comparable to tapas with a glass of wine in the sun. The history of Tapas can be traced back to the fifteenth centuries the Arab presence in Spain between 7 andAD. The Moors had a love for small dishes with exotic ingredients such as peppers, almonds, garlic and saffron. This affects a cross of Spanish culture and has become one of the most famous culinary traditions of Spain.

White Villages

It's worth the time and effort in the countries he visits a number of Spanish white. The south of Spain is full of these Pueblos, some more accustomed to tourism than others. Remember that even the most challengingVillages near two clock for a siesta. Of course, the bars and cafes stay open so that you only do with the rest of their cold.

Spain has much more to offer than the suggestions I have, and as I said, this is just my opinion. What to do in the field and prove yourself, you will be so much fun it was wrong.
