Granada

Granada, which means pomegranate in Spanish, has a totally unique mixture of Muslim and Spanish culture. Home to the grand Alhambra Palace, the city is blessed with the snow-capped Sierra Nevada mountain range, Europe’s most southern ski destination. Even better, Granada is one of the handful of Spanish cities that still offer free tapas! Looking for Romance? Be sure to watch the sunset from the Mirador de San Nicolas in the Albaicin Quarter for an absolutely breathtaking view of the Alhambra Palace.

Santiago de Compostela

The Galician capital is the final destination for millions of pilgrims completing the iconic Camino de Santiago each year. You don’t have to walk 550 miles along this ancient Christian pilgrimage to visit this unbelievable city. Santiago, a labyrinth of cobble stone streets laden with gothic buildings galore, is also home to legendary tapas bars. A night time stroll here is strongly recommended, as the medieval streets will transport you to another era after dark!. You should be made aware that “Galician-style octopus” goes down perfectly with the local Albariño wine.

Barcelona

Famous for its iconic architecture, museums, and squares, Spain’s city is vibrant, bustling and fun. Enjoy the Mediterranean beach, where you can easily escape the heat of bustling city life. The heart of Barcelona is the popular avenue La Rambla, filled with restaurants, shops and wild street entertainers. Nearby, you’ll pass the medieval Gothic Quarter, with its centuries old buildings, narrow streets, and palm-tree filled plazas. However, no visit to this 2,000 year old city would be complete without seeing the La Sagrada Familia Cathedral, which is not expected to be completed until 2041.
