Granada is a major tourist destination in Andalusia because of the Alhambra. The nearby Sierra Nevada mountains (3000+m altitude) allow for skiing in winter, with a unique view of the Mediterranean.

Barcelona is capital of Catalonia and world-famous for soccer and architecture. You must visit the cathedral Sagrada Familia, designed by Gaudi, that has been under construction since 1883. Camp Nou, where FC Barcelona resides, is an experience of a different kind.

Cordoba has a beautiful old city center with a lot of charm. The main attraction however is La Mesquita, a cathedral that started as a mosque. Cordoba is one of the hottest cities in Europa in Summer.

Ronda, Andalusia, is known for its cliffside location and a deep canyon that divides the town. Both sides are connected by an ancient viaduct. Another point of interest is the, now not used, arena for bull fighting.

Málaga is an important tourist destination, known as "the capital of the Costa del Sol". An estimated 6 million tourists visit the city each year, who usually visit the birthplace of Pablo Picasso.

Santiago de Compostela is the capital of Galicia and the end point of the pilgrimage "Camino de Santiago". The apostel James should be buried here. The journey here is different from other journeys since people like to either walk or bike.
