Discover
Secret Spain & Avoided Crowded Beaches by Jez Rourke
Anyone considering a summer
holiday this year may be put off by the thought of a crowded beach on a
Spanish Costa or the over familiarity of resorts packed with British tourists.
However, there are areas of Spain that are not over-populated by tourists
and offer beaches unspoilt by the masses.... |

Estepona
- Quiet Gem on the Costa del Sol in Spain by Anne Sewell
Estepona is a wonderful
little town - relatively unspoiled by tourism - and located on the Costa

Unlike the busy towns of Marbella and Fuengirola, Estepona is relatively
quiet - and the centre of town is still very traditionally Spanish... |

Fuengirola
on the Costa del Sol in Southern Spain by Anne Sewell
You

pleasant temperatures, glorious sunshine, and quieter streets and beaches
make for a really enjoyable holiday! ... |

Ronda,
Spain - Magical Mountain Top City in Andalucia, Southern Spain
by Anne Sewell
When
visiting Andalucia, I would highly recommend making the trip to Ronda.
The winding roads up the mountainside can be a little daunting, but what
a view all the way to the top! Ronda is one of the oldest cities
in Spain, having origins in the Neolithic age. Wonderful cave paintings
were discovered, including the famous Pileta's Cave, depicting paintings
from the Paleolithic age.... |

Travelling
to Barcelona by Meredith Jones
Barcelona
is a beautiful, cultural European city. It attracts tourists from all over
Spain and the rest of the world wanting to experience its unusual Gaudi
architecture and ambience. I travelled on the open topped tourist bus and
bought my two day travel ticket from my hotel. It meant that I could just
hop on and off at the sights that I wanted to see and look from outside
the bus window at those that I preferred to pass by, such as Barcelona
football ground... |

La
Mercé Festival Of Barcelona by Mike McDougall
Towards
the end of September Barcelona begins to limber up for the largest event
on its festival calendar, La Mercé, a celebration of the city's
patron saint "Mare de Deu de la Mercé". The festival heralds the
end of summer and the onset of the autumn months. The festival is a real
big deal for the people of Barcelona and the still temperate weather means
that, in true Mediterranean fashion, most of the fun takes place outside... |

La
Sagrada Familia - Past And Future by Mike McDougall
La Sagrada Familia can be
found in Barcelona, in Catalonia in Spain and is renowned as Antoni Gaudi's
masterpiece. Although thought of as a cathedral, it is in fact, a
basilica - the cathedral in Barcelona is the Cathedral of Santa Eulalia.
Gaudi was handed the project in 1884, but only after the founding association
and the original choice of architect Francesc del Villar had irreconcilable
disagreements with those behind the project... |

in Madrid, capital of Spain by Steve Greenwood
Madrid

the country. The provinces Avila, Segovia, Guadalajara, Cuenca and Toledo
border Madrid, and with an elevation of over 2 thousand feet, it is also
the highest capital in Europe and home to over 3 million people. Madrid
is also home to the royal family, Spanish parliament, banking, and is the
administration hub of Spain... |

Madrid
Capital of Spain by Ken Jones
Madrid
is relatively young when compared to the other great Spanish cities such
as Seville and Valencia and so it lacks the traditions of the ancient Andalusian
and Castilian towns. It lies on a vast open plateau and is subject to extremes
of temperature, the daily variation is sometimes 22°C. The locals sum
up their climate as nine months of winter and another 3 months of hell... |

A
Whistlestop Tour of Madrid, Spain by Anne Sewell
Madrid
is a modern, world-class, but also historic city - the capital of
Spain - located almost centrally in the heart of the country. A contrast
of old and new, Madrid is a beautiful and vibrant city with great architectural
interest. You might find the drive into the city a bit boring with
its suburbs of concrete apartment blocks, but once in the centre, you will
enjoy the traditional streets, with medieval buildings and some narrow
and very atmospheric alleys, containing shops and bars... |

Valencia
- The City That Has it All by Alex
Western Europe is such an
ultimate travel destination that anything worth seeing has already been
triple-packed. It is practically impossible to find a place that has major
attractions yet has retained its innocence. And, out of all countries,
Spain – the place where annual tourist head count overtakes that of its
residents – is a very unlikely candidate for such location. |
