Madrid
#3 in Best Places to Visit in Spain
Of all the cities in Spain, Madrid is the one that knows how to show travelers the best time. The city’s party-hard reputation is really all it’s cracked up to be, but that’s not all Spain’s capital has going for it. Madrid is filled with varied, vibrant neighborhoods, plus stunning parks, enviable shopping and some of the best art institutions in Europe, including the world-renowned Prado Museum and the Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum.
Granada
#4 in Best Places to Visit in Spain
Granada’s Arabic influence makes this destination different from the rest of Spain. Thanks to its history as part of the Moorish Empire, Granada is home to tapas bars and flamenco venues that rub elbows with Moroccan tea cafes and Arab bathhouses. This confluence allows you to experience two cultures simultaneously. And you must make time to behold the breathtaking local treasures, including the Alhambra and Sierra Nevada National Park.
