Spain's Top 10 Tourist Attractions

1 - Beaches

You don’t have to look hard to find one of the many beautiful beaches of Spain. With more than 4000 kilometres of coastline, beaches are one attraction that isn’t lacking. We recommend you visit Canaries, Formentera, Galicia, Marbella, or Mallorca.

2 - The Alhambra

Settled in the the foot of the Sierra Nevada mountains, you’ll find the stunning city of Granada which is home to the Alhambra - the palace of the Spanish Moorish Kingdom. After its abandonment in the 18th century, it became a home for beggars, thieves, and anyone needing a night’s shelter. The treasures that have been hidden in the many nooks and crannies may still be waiting to be discovered today.

3 - The Mezquita

Córdoba is home to the most beautiful Moorish mosque ever built on the lands of Spain. The Mezquita sits in the centre of the city, and is believed to have mystical powers that become greater with each recurring visit.

4 - The Aqueduct

Segovia has the most perfectly preserved Aqueduct in the world. In order to maintain it, vehicular traffic is prohibited to travel underneath its arches, but feel free to take a walk and study this amazing feat of ancient architecture.

5 - The Parque Nacional de Doñana

Over 1300 square kilometres of wetland make up the Parque Nacional de Doñana, which is a protected wildlife park. With various habitats, the park is a perfect place to see many different species of bird, mammal, and even some intriguing insects, if you look hard enough.
