What to visit in Spain (sightseeing):
- Barcelona: The city where Gaudí, Picasso and Miró did much of their work, Barcelona is a genuine work of art in and of itself.
- Madrid: The capital of the country and nexus of people from different backgrounds. Noteworthy for its museums and lively nightlife.
- Granada: A city of dreams, where history becomes reality in the form of the Alhambra.
- Seville: Colourful and happy, Seville is the capital of Andalusia and embodies the core of its culture, which includes flamenco and bullfighting.
- Córdoba: Less known than the previously mentioned cities, Cordoba is the site of the most important mosque in the Islamic West, a work that rivals any one of the 7 Wonders of the Modern World.
- San Sebastián: Classic, noble and elegant, one of the most beautiful cities in world to live. Its urban beach (La Concha) makes it unique, though it's worth visiting if only to try its famous pinchos (bar snacks).
- Bilbao: Renovated since the inauguration of the Guggenheim Museum, it's a perfect example of an industrial city remodelled into a small tourist attraction.
- Santiago de Compostela: Mecca for Christian pilgrims since the Middle Ages, it's noteworthy for its cathedral and its medieval/gothic-style old city, not to mention the spectacle of hundreds of pilgrims arriving each day after walking more than 800 km.
