Capcis Travel

It is no wonder that over 50 million tourists visit Spain every year. It is a beautiful country that has an abundance of history and culture to explore. With virtually every area of the country easily accessible by an airport, there is no shortage of destinations around the Iberian Peninsula for you to choose from. Whether it is Paella or Picasso that takes your fancy, the choices are endless. If you are interested in visiting Spain yourself, then you might be wondering what are some of the highlights.

For first time visitors, a visit to Spain’s great cities is a wonderful way to begin your trip. Cities like Barcelona, which graces the waters of the Mediterranean along the Southern coast. Originally a Roman port, this ultra-modern city is filled with fantastic sights that will astound even the most well-traveled tourist. Stops at the great Gothic cathedral of Santa Eulalia and Gaudi’s famous Sagrada Familia are a must. Then enjoy a walk along the beach, hunt for bargains in the many shops and finish the day with dinner at one of the fine restaurants that fill this city. Whether you spend a day or three, Barcelona has plenty to offer.

If you are looking for the perfect beach to work on your tan, then head down the coast to Alicante. This historic town has quickly become one of the top destinations in Spain, with its narrow, winding streets and ancient allure set atop miles of sand. Just a short train ride away is the World Heritage site of Palmeral of Elche. This palm grove is one of the largest in the world, and an amazing place to just sit and relax. If you are looking for something more lively during your beach crawl, then head to Tabarca, once home to some of the area’s most dangerous pirates.

For amazing sunsets and an all-around experience, Murcia is located a little further south by car. The Mar Menor area that surrounds the city hosts a remarkably charming lagoon that is perfect for viewing the sun setting in the west. The city boasts incredible architectural sites with a pictorial mountainous horizon – an experience that is truly difficult to pass up.

If you need dry heat, then you should definitely stop in Almeria, one of Spain’s major port destinations. Almeria has an average of 330 days of sunshine, every single year. You can visit Alcazaba, a Moorish castle if you are into history. Or, if you like movies, then you can go to the desert of Tabernas where many Hollywood westerns were made. And if you like scuba diving or snorkeling, then you have to go to Cabo de Gata-Nijar Natural Park which offers the best diving anywhere.

The city of Malaga is a favorite of tourists and native Spaniards alike. Situated next to the Costa del Sol, the town is easy to travel to and offers a variety of experiences in a compact area. Anyone wanting to fit in a skydiving adventure, a bull fight, and a visit to the renowned Picasso Museum (all in one day) must fit this town and the surrounding areas into their travels.
