Spain - Magical Destinations
What are the best cities to travel to in Spain?
If you are looking for quiet cities that capture the true essence of the country, we have 3 recommendations for international travelers:
Bilbao
Segovia
Toledo
These three cities answer a variety of questions regarding tourist needs:
Why is the city of Toledo famous?
It is the architectural summary of Spanish history. 2,000 years of history perched on a rocky cliff by the Tagus River. Three cultures walked its streets when Alfonso VI reclaimed the city in 1085. An imperial city, it reached its splendor with the Catholic Monarchs and Charles I, who made it the primary seat of his court.
But moving on to a magical area with even Roman remains:
Where is the most famous aqueduct in Spain?
Spain's most famous aqueduct is located in the city of Segovia, a site that still proudly displays this masterpiece of 20,400 granite blocks joined without any mortar. Furthermore, its walls tell the story of the city's defense; its elegant Alcázar houses eternal rooms of the kings who passed through; its famous gastronomy features roast suckling pig (cochinillo); and its streets lead to various churches, its imposing cathedral, and endless corners full of shops, bars, and life.
Why visit the city of Bilbao?
Bilbao is worth a visit as it is one of the best examples of a city’s transformation from medieval to industrial, and finally into a hub of services, sustainable tourism, and an emerging economy.
Evidently, Bilbao is highlighted on the map for two international reasons: The Guggenheim Museum and the Athletic Club football team. However, the city maintains a balance between its past and modernity, offering spaces frozen in time alongside others ahead of the contemporary era.
It is a highly recommended destination if you want to visit the beach area in the morning and take a light walk through the forest and mountains in the afternoon. Its summer temperatures are also usually mild and warm.
