- Chosen by Voters My favs:Madrid — great art museums and history, love the Plaza Mayor and the National Palace Barcelona — check out anything by Gaudi, especially Parc Guell, and the Olympic Stadium Cordoba — has beautiful orange trees — check out the Mezquita (Mosque)Asturias — great countryside — check out the peaks of Europe and Oviedo (a very cute town)El Escorial — an old monastery about an hour from Madrid — all of the kings of Spain are buried thereThese are just a few. I've never disliked any city in Spain. Every province is very different, so start in a big city (like Madrid) and do some side trips to see what the smaller towns (like Avila or Segovia) are like. You will love Spain! Source(s): Studied in Alcala de Henares for a semester and traveled almost every weekend 5 years ago 100% 1 VoteError processing request
