Madrid
This is Spain's headiest city, where the revelling lasts long into the
night and life is seized with the teeth and both hands. Strangers quickly
become friends, passion blooms in an instant, and visitors are swiftly
addicted to the city's charms.
With a triad of truly great art museums that includes the Museo del Prado,
and buildings like the Palacio Real that span the centuries, plus lively
plazas, mighty boulevards and neighbourhoods brimming with character, Madrid
has plenty of sights to keep the eyes, ears and mind occupied.

Barcelona
Barcelona has transformed itself from smug backwater into one of the most
dynamic and stylish capitals in the world. Summer is serious party time,
with week-long fiesta fun. But year-round the city sizzles - it's always on
the biting edge of architecture, food, fashion, style, music and good times.
The wild and whimsical architecture of Gaudí dominates the streets of
Barcelona and makes for some of the finest city-walking in the world. The
art will beckon you from museums and streetsides. The vibrant central drag,
La Rambla, will lead you to the city's marvellous medieval quarter, Barri
Gòtic.

Bilbao
Post-industrial Bilbao, the largest city in Basque Country (the País
Vasco) is transforming itself with ambitious urban-renewal projects, most
notably the marvellous Museo Guggenheim de Arte Contemporáneo. This
twist-up of glass and titanium, designed by US architect Frank Gehry and
inspired by the anatomy of the fish and the hull of a boat, is the city's
showpiece. The contents of this sardine can are no less stunning than its
exterior: works by Serra, Braque, Kandinsky, Picasso, Warhol and more line
its walls and halls. The Museo de Bellas Artes, just 300m up the
road, is also worth a look. When you tire of art riches, wander over to the
restaurants and bars of the medieval casco viejo.

Granada
During the period of Muslim domination of Spain, Granada was the finest
city on the peninsula. Today it is still home to the greatest Muslim legacy
in Europe, and one of the most inspiring attractions on the Continent - the
Alhambra.
The Alhambra palace is a must-see. Set against the stunning Sierra Nevada
and surrounded by cypress and elms, it's an escape into Granada's Moorish
past. There's a lot to see, including the Alcazaba, the Palacio Nazaries (Nasrid
Palace) and the Generalife gardens, so allow at least an afternoon.

Accidental tourist charmed by San Sebastian -- and tapas
Famed as a ritzy resort for wealthy Spaniards who want to get away from
the hordes in the south, stunning San Sebastián has been a stronghold of
Basque nationalist feeling since well before Franco banned the use of
Euskera, the Basque language, in the 1930s.
Donostia, as the city is known in Euskera, is a surprisingly relaxed
place with a small-town feel. Those who live here consider themselves the
luckiest people in Spain and won't hesitate to tell you so. After a short
stay you may well begin to appreciate their immodest claim.

Silken Amara
Plaza Hotel San Sebastian    
Situated in the Square of Pio XII and just 10 minutes walk from
Concha Beach, the Quarter, and the commercial and financial zone of the
city, this superior first-class hotel offers comfortable accommodations
for a relaxing holiday or business trip. It is ideally situated for
visitors to the area and has a welcoming atmosphere with friendly and
hospitable service. |
One of the first people to fall in love with Seville (or Sevilla
if you prefer) was the poet-king Al-Mutamid, and the city's ability to
dazzle has not abated since. It takes a stony heart not to be captivated by
its exuberant atmosphere - stylish, confident, ancient, proud, yet also
convivial, intimate and fun-loving.
In keeping with the slow-burn nature of the city's charms, two great
monuments - the Muslim Alcázar and the Christian cathedral - reveal most of
their glories only once you're inside them. These, along with many other
buildings and areas around Seville, are World Heritage Sites.

Toledo
Toledo is an intact medieval city of narrow winding streets perched on a
small hill above the Río Tajo. The city is crammed with fascinating museums,
galleries, churches and castles. The awesome cathedral harbours glorious
murals, stained-glass windows and works by El Greco, Velázquez and Goya.
Unfortunately, it is also crammed with day trippers, so travelers wanting
to enjoy the city should stay overnight and explore in the evening and early
morning to see it at its best. The dominant Alcázar has been the scene of
military battles from the Middle Ages right through to the 20th century.
Other attractions include the city's two synagogues, the Iglesia de Santo
Tomé (which contains El Greco's greatest masterpiece, The Burial of the
Count of Orgaz) and the Museo de Santa Cruz. Archaeologists working on
Toledo's Carranque recently uncovered a 4th-century Roman basilica, Spain's
oldest.

Valencia
Spain's third-largest city, and capital of the province of Valencia,
comes as a pleasant surprise to many. Home to paella and the Holy Grail, it
is also blessed with great weather and the spring festival of Las Fallas,
one of the wildest parties in the country.
One of Valencia's best attractions is the baroque Palacio del Marqués de
Dos Aguas. The facade is extravagantly sculpted and the inside is just as
outrageous. The Museo de Bellas Artes ranks among the best museums in the
country, containing works by artists such as El Greco, Goya and Velázquez.
