For those looking to fly somewhere warm and cozy right now, Spain could be the ultimate cure for the winter blues.
With its gorgeous cities, fascinating history, and golden sandy beaches, this southwestern European country has long been one of the most coveted destinations on earth, and precisely the second most visited. people are visiting.
But when it comes to exploring such a fascinating and diverse region, there’s more to choosing a destination than just choosing the name of the country. You need to make sure that the city where you will be spending most of your time is worth your time and money.
That’s why Tour Review recently conducted a survey to find out which Spanish destinations people love most, based on over 1.9 million traveler reviews from Google, Viator, Expedia, GetYourGuide, and TripAdvisor.
Here are five cities with the best reputations.
5. Malaga
Resting peacefully along the sunny Costa del Sol, Malaga has transformed from an unassuming beach escape to a record-breaking destination that travelers never tire of.
Here in Pablo Picasso’s birthplace, art lovers can marvel at some of the artist’s best works at his eponymous museum, but those wishing to explore the city’s long history should visit the museum may prefer excursions. Alcazaba castle instead.
But the only thing that attracts travelers of all interests to Malaga is its golden coastline lined with palm trees.
Playa de la Malagueta, Playa de la Carihuela, and Playa de Burriana are just a few of the dozens of world-class beaches that can only be found in this beautiful Spanish city.
4. Santiago de Compostela
A safe haven between idyllic beaches and bustling metropolises, Santiago de Compostela is quickly emerging as one of Spain’s best-kept secrets.
This city of 90,000 people may not have the warm charm of Malaga or the endless entertainment of Madrid, but it is one of the most authentic and culturally rich destinations in all of Spain.
The iconic cathedral is not only a testament to the city’s historical and spiritual importance (attracting pilgrims from all over the world), but also an architectural wonder that can be admired by people of all faiths and backgrounds. Nothing but.
3. Seville
Home to flamenco festivals, great gastronomic tours, and Moorish-influenced historic sites, Seville remains one of Spain’s most visited and most rated hotspots.
Andalusia’s capital is smaller than many of its competitors in the travel industry, but it has world-class attractions that are impossible to ignore.
Between the astonishing Alcazar Palace, the towering Giralda (now serving as the bell tower of the world’s largest Gothic cathedral), and thrilling events like the Feria de Abril, one thing is for sure; This means that the itinerary for Seville will be full of highlights. .
2. Madrid
Spain’s capital needs no introduction among travelers. You’ve probably had this city on your bucket list for quite some time. With so many cultural institutions based in the city, it’s easy to see why.
In the beating heart of Spain is the iconic Prado Museum, which currently houses masterpieces by Velázquez, Goya, and El Greco, to name just a few.
Beyond the art scene, those looking forward to visiting Madrid this year can explore the famous Retiro Park, the historic charm of Barrio de las Letras, and the trendy boutiques of Malasaña.
1. Barcelona
With well over 1 million traveler reviews and a combined average of 4.38/5, Barcelona has emerged as the undisputed winner of the Tour Review Rankings.
We could go on and on about world-famous sites like the Sagrada Familia, Park Guell, and Casa Batlló, but you’ve probably already heard about the city’s many architectural and cultural wonders. It’s safe to assume that (and I wanted to experience it firsthand).
What I’m saying is that after a big sightseeing tour, I recommend taking a day or two to see where you’re going that day and experience the city beyond its famous exterior. You can people-watch on Las Ramblas or lie on the soft golden beach, even if the weather isn’t ideal for sunbathing right now.
