10 Top Tourist Attractions in Spain

Spain is a surprise to those who have the image of having to fight for towel space at one of its
crowded beaches or sipping sangria while watching a bull fight or flamenco. From the ancient
monuments left by the Romans and Moors, the medieval castles of the interior, the white villages
in inland Andalucía or the vibrant cities of Barcelona and Madrid, there is a great mixture of
cultural attractions in Spain.

The landscape varies just as widely. The evergreen estuaries of Galicia could hardly be more
different from the deserts of Almería or the rugged mountains of the Sierra Nevada. And then
there are the countless glittering beaches that dot the Spanish coast. Although busy in summer
even along the coast of the big tourist Costas some enjoyable beaches can easily be found.

The top tourist attractions in Spain:

10Palacio Real

The Palacio Real (Royal Palace) of Madrid is the official residence of the King of Spain
although it is only used for state ceremonies. The Royal Palace was built between 1738 to 1755
and King Carlos III took up residence in the palace in 1764.

8La Concha

Protected from strong winds by steep cliffs and islands, La Concha in San Sebastian is said by
many to be one of the best city beaches in Europe, let alone Spain. Here you can go surfing, walk
along the promenade in search of good restaurants and enjoy the beautiful views of the beach.

7Aqueduct of Segovia

The Aqueduct of Segovia is one of the best-preserved monuments left by the Romans in Spain.
The ancient aqueduct carries water 16 km (10 miles) from the Frío River to Segovia and was
built of some 24,000 massive granite blocks without the use of mortar. Probably constructed
around 50 AD it still provided water to the city in the 20th century.

5Ibiza

Ibiza is one of the Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean Sea, off the coast of Spain. The island is
one of the most popular party destinations in all of Europe. During summer, the island’s
population doubles as tourists flock to Ibiza to enjoy the night clubs, beach bars and restaurants.

4Sagrada Familia

The Sagrada Familia is a large Roman Catholic church in Barcelona, and one of Spain’s most
visited tourist attractions. It’s a design by Antoni Gaudí, a Catalan architect who worked on this
project for almost 40 years until his death in 1926. The construction of the basilica began in 1882
and still as yet not finished.
