MAIN Travel Tourist Attractions Europe Spain

Featuring stretches of long, sunny beaches and rugged coastline; Catholic cathedrals combined with a distinct Islamic influence; and narrow, winding narrow streets leading to huge urban plazas - Spain is one adventure after another.

Regional diversity within the country includes the cosmopolitan atmosphere of its capital, Madrid, where visitors can take a trip to the world class Prado Museum followed by a refreshing walk through lovely public gardens of the Parque del Buen Retiro.

Within an easy train ride of Madrid lies medieval Toledo, dominated by its magnificant cathedral and museums boasting works by native son El Greco.

Spain's funkiest city, Barcelona, is a walker's paradise with its alluring main street, La Rambla, which leads to the medieval quarter, Barri Gotic, in sharp counterpoint to the wild and way-out 20th century architecture of Gaudi.

And Sun worshipers shouldn't miss a trip down to the Spanish Riviera, Costa del Sol featuring more than a hundred miles of sand, surf, and balmy breezes.
