Cuenca
Cuenca is 105 miles from Madrid, in the Castile-La Mancha region. The first thing you will notice is that the city maintains intact its cultural heritage and medieval fortress appearance, with palaces, stately houses, towers, churches, convents, streets, squares and walkways all throughout the historic centre. These buildings represent a variety of artistic styles, and the majority were constructed between the 12th and 18th centuries.
Cuenca's unusual “casas colgadas” (hanging houses) are a fine example of man’s capacity to transform his surroundings in perfect integration with nature.

Ibiza
A Phoenician-Punic settlement during ancient times, Ibiza contains within its Renaissance walls a remarkable legacy from all the different cultures that populated it.

Mérida
The Estremaduran capital is heir to a magnificent Roman legacy. The theatre, the amphitheatre and the Temple of Diana make this city one of the best preserved archaeological sites in Spain, which is why it was declared World Heritage. The Roman Theatre is one of the most emblematic constructions. Erected in the first century B.C., the theatre can seat 6,000 people. Next to it is the Amphitheatre, a stage where gladiators wrestled with beasts.
Both precincts come back to life each summer with the celebration of the Mérida Classical Theatre Festival, one of the most important of its kind in Spain.

Thousands of people make their way to Santiago de Compostela with one single goal in mind: to see its Cathedral, the ultimate destination on the Way of Saint James, where it is believed that the remains of St. James are buried.

Tarragona is a city in the south of Catalonia with a history stretching back thousands of years.

Toledo
Toledo is one of the Spanish cities with the greatest wealth of monuments. Known as the “city of the three cultures” because Christians, Arabs and Jews lived together there for centuries, behind its walls Toledo preserves an artistic and cultural legacy in the form of churches, palaces, fortresses, mosques and synagogues. This great diversity of artistic styles makes the old quarter of the capital of Castile - La Mancha a real open-air museum. One of the reasons its historic quarter, declared a World Heritage Site by the UNESCO, is so impressive is because it still has exactly the same layout it had in the Middle Ages.
