Madrid, Spain's beautiful capital city has a well-developed metro system, many green areas and tree-lined streets.
Throughout the city there are many plazas; the most famous is Plaza Mayor.
These plazas are meeting places for friends and family to gather, and they also serve to provide landmarks for essential navigation.
Madrid has many things to do and see including a fantastic Royal Palace, a museum on the Americas, the world-famous Prado Museum, and an Egyptian temple.
Toledo is one of the most important centers of European medieval history and culture.
The Roman author Titus Liviu described the city as a "small fortified town."
Fortification has always been an important part of its history, and monumental walls still encircle the city today.
The city is also famous for the "Swords of Toledo," giving its steel production world-wide fame.
It was the capital of Spain from Gothic times until 1560, which explains its impressive medieval architecture. The city’s history was dominated by the Romans, the Muslims, the Jews, and finally the Christians. These different periods of domination can be seen in the various architectural wonders. When walking though Toledo, you can really feel its history and appreciate its culture.
Valencia is one of the biggest cities in Spain, known for its rhythmic night life.
It is located at the Mediterranean sea, with beaches in the very heart of the city.
Zaragoza is one of the great monumental towns in Spain. Founded 2000 years ago, the town is a showcase of the Old-Iberian, Roman, Goth, Arabian and Spanish heritage.
Belchite is one the most important landmarks in the battles that took place a little over sixty years ago in the Spanish Civil War.
Montserrat Mountain is a picturesque mountain, which rises majestically to 4,051 feet above sea level. Montserrat is known for the Royal Basilica, which holds the famous 12th century Romanesque carving of Virgen Moreneta, the Black Virgin. The Royal Basilica has been one of the most important pilgrimage sites in Spain for hundreds of years.
Girona, with its cobbled labyrinth of narrow alleys and watchtowers, is a flashback into the medieval era. Today, the city and nearby Costa Brava, a white-sand stretch of Catalonian coast, is popular with Barcelonan's for its secluded sunbathing, diving and kayaking.
Besalú is best remembered for its impressive Romanesque bridge. In the town you can find 12th century churches and a 12th century Jewish miqvé, or purification bath. The miqvé is the only one of its kind in all of Spain.
Tarragona is one of the provinces that makes up the Autonomous Catalan Region. It is also the capital of the Costa Dorada with over 160 kms of coastline. In 218 B.C. the city was invaded by the Romans who established themselves there and converted it into the capital of Hispania Citerior calling it Tarraconenses. In 45 B.C. Julius Caesar made it into a colony. Most of the monuments which form the city's cultural heritage were built during the Roman occupation: the amphitheater, the aquaduct, the city wall, the Escipions Tower and much more.
