WHERE TO GO IN SPAIN
From the architectural grandeur of Barcelona and the cultural heartbeat of Madrid to the sun-baked villages of Andalucía and the gastronomic capital of San Sebastián, learn more about Spain's highlights.
Andalucía
Andalucía is Spain’s historic southern region, shaped by centuries of Moorish influence and a rich cultural blend between Europe and North Africa. In Granada, the Alhambra stands as its most iconic landmark, known for its ornate palaces and gardens, while Córdoba’s Mezquita offers a remarkable fusion of mosque and cathedral architecture defined by its iconic arches. Seville completes the trio of highlights with its grand cathedral, the Giralda tower, and the Royal Alcázar, a former Moorish palace still in use today. Beyond the cities, the countryside is dotted with whitewashed hill towns such as Ronda, where dramatic landscapes and traditional villages reflect the region’s enduring character.
Barcelona
Barcelona is a dynamic coastal city where bold architecture, creative energy, and Mediterranean lifestyle come together. The historic Gothic Quarter forms the city’s atmospheric core, with narrow streets, Roman remnants, and the striking Barcelona Cathedral showcasing its layered past. The city is equally defined by its Modernist identity, shaped most famously by Antoni Gaudí, whose imaginative works have become symbols of Barcelona. Highlights include the sculptural façades of Casa Batlló, the undulating stone of La Pedrera, and the still-unfinished masterpiece of La Sagrada Família. Beyond its architecture, Barcelona’s culinary scene reflects its seaside setting, with vibrant tapas culture and fresh Mediterranean seafood playing a central role in everyday life.
Basque Country
San Sebastian is a striking coastal region defined by dramatic Atlantic landscapes, vibrant cities, and one of Europe’s most celebrated culinary traditions. In Bilbao, the cultural and economic heart of the region, the Guggenheim Museum stands as an architectural icon, its sweeping titanium forms designed by Frank Gehry transforming the city’s modern identity. Along the coastline, San Sebastián offers a refined contrast, with elegant Belle Époque architecture set against a beautiful bay and a deep-rooted food culture. Renowned for its exceptional dining scene, the city is particularly famous for its Michelin-starred restaurants and its lively pintxos bars, where guided tastings reveal the essence of Basque gastronomy.
La Rioja
La Rioja is Spain’s premier wine region, where rolling vineyard landscapes and historic hilltop villages define a slower, more pastoral rhythm. Moving inland from the coast, the scenery shifts into vine-covered valleys dotted with world-class wineries and centuries of winemaking heritage. In Rioja Alavesa, innovative estates such as Marqués de Riscal—designed by Frank Gehry—combine bold contemporary architecture with private wine tastings, while acclaimed bodegas like Remírez de Ganuza showcase the region’s refined production techniques. The medieval village of Laguardia, with its stone walls and underground cellars, adds a historic counterpoint to this deeply rooted wine culture.
Madrid
Madrid is Spain’s vibrant capital, where regal architecture, world-class art, and a dynamic contemporary culture come together. The city’s streets reflect a blend of styles, from grand Baroque façades to elegant Neoclassical avenues and striking modern developments. Its artistic heritage is unmatched, with highlights including the Prado Museum, home to masterpieces such as Velázquez’s Las Meninas, the Reina Sofía, where Picasso’s Guernica is displayed, and the Thyssen-Bornemisza, showcasing a remarkable private collection spanning centuries of European art. The Royal Palace, one of the largest in Europe still used for official state ceremonies, adds further grandeur to the city’s historic core. Today, Madrid is also celebrated for its thriving culinary scene, where innovative restaurants and traditional taverns sit side by side.
