BEAUTIFUL BARCELONA & ANDALUCIA
MADRID – CORDOBA – SEVILLA –
GRANADA – VALENCIA – BARCELONA - ZARAGOZA
Barcelona
In a privileged position on the northeastern coast of the Iberian
peninsula and the shores of the Mediterranean, Barcelona is the
second largest city in Spain in both size and population. It is
also the capital of Catalonia, 1 of the 17 Autonomous Communities
that make up Spain. The capital of Catalonia is unequivocally a
Mediterranean city, not only because of its geographic location
but also and above all because of its history, tradition and cultural
influences. Barcelona, more than just a single city, is really a
collection of multi-faceted and diverse cities. The visitor unfamiliar
with its history might be surprised that such a modern and enterprising
city preserves its historic Gothic centre almost intact, or by the
curious contrast between the maze of narrow streets and the grid-like
layout. Fabulous architecture, brilliant Spanish cuisine, flamboyant
culture and wonderful weather combine to make Barcelona a truly
magnificent city.
Andalucia
This region boasts over 3000 hours of sun per year, several kilometers
of golden sandy beaches, the mother of the Spanish folklore which
is best known for the magic of Flamenco and bullfighting in their
most authentic style. The major cities consist of Seville, the Andalusian
capital, Granada, the Moorish Jewel and home of Alhambra, Cordoba,
Malaga, on the Mediterranean coast, Costa del sol, famous for its
beaches, Ronda, a beautiful town, Almeria, with best preserved Moorish
Heritage,and Cadiz, one of the oldest cities in Spain.
