Santiago de Compostela

Santiago de Compostela is recognized as being the resting place of the Apostle James. It’s a hypnotic place and even today pilgrims flock to the medieval Way of St. James, a route that by tradition began at one’s home and concluded at the magnificent cathedral, located within the heart of the Old Town. The Old Town was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1985.

Tourists soak up the rather solemn atmosphere pertaining to the myriad sites that pay homage to the Saint, marvel at the artistic wonders of the glistening facades, and stroll throughout the narrowly winding streets. On the exterior of the historic quarter, the city’s streets bustle with university students and visitors enjoy dining in the assorted establishments that line the sidewalks.

Picos de Europa

Picos de Europa is noted for its fine dining establishments located in any one of a number of alluringly angelic towns in the area. It’s where you can breathe in the refreshing air, while hiking along a fabulous route and gazing over at the rugged, snow-capped peaks.

You can hide yourself from the constantly oppressive heat whilst regaining some balance and then you’ll realize that there’s so much more to Spain than pretty beaches and historical values. Do be sure to look out for the rarest of fauna and flora species, and try to prepare yourself, if you can, for the amazing vistas

Toledo (Provincia de Toledo)

Playing key notes in the development of the city of Toledo, located 44 miles (73 km) south of Madrid, are a number of religions, including Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. Surrounded by the Tagus River, and sitting atop a hill, this city along with its 2-millennia of history, is charmingly complex, and it will take far longer than a quick weekend trip to do it justice.

A short time spent in the Synagogue of Santa Maria La Blanca, a look at the exterior of the local Cathedral, and a brief walk over the Alcántara Bridge, is likely just enough to give you some appreciation as to the historic enchantment of the city.

Balearic Islands

Located in the Mediterranean, not far from mainland Spain’s east coast, the Balearic Islands represents four small islands, all very diverse from one another. Venture to Ibiza and it’s all about partying until you drop. Menorca on the other hand is more the oasis of tranquility and of natural grandeur. Mallorca is a mountainous island and has almost everything you’d likely expect from an idyllic holiday destination. Formentera offers wonderful beaches, but little more besides.

Together, the islands make for the perfect combination which tends to reflect that of continental Spain – fun, beautiful, and also versatile.
