Tour of Spain
If you are traveling to the wonderful country of Spain, you would most probably wonder on what places you would probably visit. Finding the most organized and efficient itinerary for the eager traveler is essential to a wholesome and worthwhile travel experience.
The Iberian Peninsula of Spain boasts a lot of places to visit, with its vast religious heritage and monuments, pristine beaches and island resorts, and its world class metropolises such as Madrid, Barcelona, and the like.
Flying in to Spain is of no primary concern, as there are adequate accommodation, resources, and modes of transportation available. There are no extreme weather conditions which would definitely be dangerous for travel, except with isolated instances of high winds and cold weather situations.
Besides the usual higher rates during peak season, and the seasonal congestion of travelers coming in and out of the country, the only other determining factor would have to be the reason of the tourist of visiting as some events are just seasonal such as festivals, season dependent tourist spots, and budget. Some of the most suggested places to go when in Spain would be the three highly populated areas of Madrid, and Barcelona. Though there would be doubts of serenity found with the other less densely populated regions, these population centers are good places to start because of their high ratio of cultural diversity.
Madrid: Spain’s Living Museum
Madrid is a central region province which is rather dry and warm due to the hot, dry winds coming in from the Sahara desert. Accessibility to Madrid is available all year round. Places of concern would be the historical streets of Plaza Mayor, Gran Via, and Preciados streets where you can find bazaars and commercial hubs.
Well known museums can be found in this culturally rich province such as Prado Museum, Centro de Reina Sofia National Museum, and the Royal Palace where the world renowned painting “Guernica” by Pablo Picasso is housed. Even the towns within Madrid, namely Avila, Toledo, and Segovia are considered as open air museums because of its rich cultural heritage preserved. Such manifestations and proof of the country’s history may be seen in the towns’ streets, design, and architecture.
Barcelona: Preserved History in Living Testimony
Similar to Madrid, Barcelona is one of the most distinguished cities that has seen worse days during the past, but its existence through the darkest times has made it shine brightly with history. Museums such as the Picasso Museum, Cathedral’s Museum, and the Museum of Catalonian Art accommodate some of the most precious paintings, such as by the great painter Pablo Picasso, as well as Salvador Dali.
