LA CONCHA
It is the beach of the provincial capital. It is a fantastic urban beach which has all the necessary services and infrastructures. For the little one, platforms have been set up in the sea with small aquatic attractions. Its pleasant, well-known promenade is always popular as is the bicycle lane which follows the same route. It extends along the whole length of the bay, travelling along the beaches of Ondarreta and La Concha. This beach has lovely views of Monte Igeldo and Santa Clara island.

  EL ESCORIAL
In the heart of the Guandarrama mountain range, only 50 kilometers from Madrid, stands the town of San Lorenzo de El Escorial. Mount Abantos, its pine forests and the Herreria estate from the natural surroundings of this place, which has its focal point in the Monastery of El Escorial. Its urban layout is composed of a harmonious collection of ancestral homes in the Herrera style, with rationalist avenues and small squares in an earlier style. Nestling in the Madrid mountains, it offers a great many leisure opportunities and cultural routes, such as those which take the visitors to Avila, Segovia, Toledo or Madrid.

 CITY OF ARTS AND SCIENCE
The City of Arts and Science is an impressive symbol of modern and futuristic architecture in Valencia. This huge entertainment complex is situated in a close proximity to the port of Valencia and it is probably the most interesting modern attraction in Valencia. The City of Arts and Science includes a number of buildings, such as the Planetarium, where you can come across an Imax Cinema, a laser light show, a planetarium, of course, and other interesting facilities. Not to mention that this is only one of the major constructions within the "City" that is famous for its unique architecture. Well, if you prefer more water than stars, then enjoy a walk to the beautiful oceanographic park, which is another captivating attraction in the City of Arts and Science.

PLAZA DE AYUNTAMIENTO

Right in the heart of Valencia is situated the famous Plaza de Ayuntamiento. This is the largest square in Valencia and it has a triangular shape, while the tip of the park is separated by a large roadway. However, exactly the tip of the park (the northern side) is one of the most beautiful areas to enjoy a relaxing hour on a bench, for example. Even just going through the square, you will be captivated by a large round fountain and picturesque multi-coloured gardens. The lowest (southern side) of the square is best for taking photos, because on the one side is situated the City Hall building with its impressive facades, towers, windows and a central clock tower. This is a truly irresistible sight to take a few stunning photos, especially at twilight, when the night lights of the City Hall are gorgeously blended to the green trees along the square and the infinite turquoise sky.

LASAGRADA FAMILIA

This is Barcelona's most famous tourist attraction with over 3 million visitors a year- It is one of the most famous buildings in the world and a definite must-see - at least from the outside. It was designed by legendaryCatalan architecht Antoni Gaudi, over 100 years ago. In 2012 the splendid interior was finally completed and opened to the public. The original foundation stone was laid in 1882 when the area was mostly fields and goats. The hope is that construction will be finished in 2026 for the 100th anniversary of Gaudi's death in 1926. When Gaudi died in 1926 only a small part had been erected. Gaudi knew it would take a long time to build such a lavish temple. He famously once said, "My boss is not in a hurry." Not everyone likes La Sagrada. The famous British author George Orwell, who fought in Spain's civil war, hated it. He called the Sagrada Familia “the ugliest building on earth." It is unusual and unique but most visitors adore it
