Top places to visit in Spain
Madrid
Spain’s capital city is full of cultured calles and well-tended parks, but it’s renowned for being home to a huge range of exceptional European art. In Madrid’s trio of big-name galleries (The Prado, the Thyssen and the Reina Sofía), you’ll find work by Goya and Velázquez, as well as other Spanish masters. You can also find a thriving food scene in excellent restaurants and tapas bars.
Barcelona
Architectural masterpieces by Gaudí, such as the mighty Sagrada Família, are part of the furniture in Barcelona, creating its rich cityscape. Be sure to admire the Gothic architecture of the basilica of Santa Maria del Mar; explore La Boqueria, Europe’s largest (and most famous) food market; or hit the beach in style.
San Sebastian
Welcome to Spain’s culinary mecca. Awash with michelin stars, you’ll want to dive straight into the array of Old Town pintxo bars, while appreciating the gorgeous historic architecture. The beaches are fab too, and perfect for surfing.
Bilbao
Home to the iconic Guggenheim Museum; Bilbao oozes historic charm thanks to its narrow streets, lively pintxo bars and bustling local markets. A pintxos crawl is an absolute must while in Bilbao, and nothing is more serene that a stroll along the Nervión River.
