Córdoba

Córdoba, once the largest city in western Europe, is now home to 310,000 residents. The charming town is highlighted by Islamic architecture, countless courtyards, and flower-draped balconies. Córdoba is the Spain's finest example of the cross-section of Islamic, Jewish, and Catholic heritage, where residents and tourists alike mix at a relaxed pace through the old city's enchanting streets.

Seville

Seville

Seville is Spain's most charming and romatic great city. A maze of tiny streets craw out from the center toward the breathtaking, third-largest cathedral in the world. Tourists mix with locals, listening to musicians in the plazas and enjoying tapas at the outdoor cafés. Seville exemplifies the best of Andalusian culture, from flamenco to bullfighting. The city is home to magnificient historical sites and is renowned for its extraordinary celebrations, in which the crowds traditionally meet along the Guadalquivir River, eating, drinking, and dancing, immune to the passage of time.

Las Alpujarras

The fertile, upland valleys of Las Alpujarras, clothed with chestnut, walnut, and poplar trees, lie on the southern slopes of the Sierra Nevada. The architecture of the quaint white villages that cling to the hillsides - compact clusters of irregularly shaped houses with tall chimneys sprouting from flat, gray roofs - is unique in Spain. Local specialities are ham cured in the cold, dry air of Trevélez and brightly colored, handwoven rugs.

El Escorial

Half monastery, half mausoleum, El Escorial is one of Spain's most popular destinations. Felipe II's personal palace was built between 1563 and 1584 and its unornamented severity touched off a new architectural style which became one of Spain's most influential. The palace is home to a wealth of artistic history, including the most important works of the rotay Hapsburg collections.
