FORUM REPLY.Having visited all these places except Alcala de Henares I would advise as must see (3 stars in the Guide Michelin, the leading serious cultural guide for me):SalamancaToledoSegoviaOne full day for each is a minimum.From the palaces of Escorial (***) and Aranjuez (**) my preference goes to Aranjuez with the gardens because the Escorial is sooo austere.Avila (**) is interesting because of the walls but I wouldn't go back and Alcala de Henares has no * in the Guide Michelin. Have a look on the VT travel guide for these destinations, you will see what they look like and how VT members liked them.
besure to visit the alcazaba upon the hill and Romano Teatro. only 4 Euro entry to both and well worth it! amazing views over the harbour!dont be lazy and walk up to the top, be prepared! take wate and a good pair of walking shoes! there is a shop uptop that sells beer! you will need one!
Majorca or Mallorca, whatever way you prefer to spell it, and whatever way you wish to pronounce it, is the largest of Balearic Islands and lies in the Mediterranean Sea off the south east coast of mainland Spain.June 1996
This part of Seville is truly a place that is for strolling and soaking up the atmosphere.Around every turn of the narrow streets you are greeted by the gold and white buildings. There are many very good restaurants here. We enjoyed "Tapas Sevillanas" one evening in a mesone in the heart of Jewish Seville. . I remember how great the olives were, the Spanish omelette and the fluffy dessert with good coffee. Inside the restaurants hams were hanging from the ceiling. After dinner we walked through the streets to the large plaza with its beautiful illumination. We finished up the evening with a cruise on the Quadalguivir River. We got a first hand view of the spectacular new bridge from the 1992 fair when we cruised underneath it. During our morning visit to the lovely Barrio of Santa Cruze, we stopped in several shops and saw the famous fans that were used by ladies to send messages to...
I spent a day here with a couple of mates of mine, and we had heaps of fun. It had some really decent rides, including that one where they strap you in, you slowly rise way the freck up, and then suddenly you drop like a stone. Good stuff! It's also kind of a waterpark, so expect to get wet. It's also a good place to take the family, very friendly to that crowd. That being said, a bunch of 20 something's can go and enjoy themselves too easy.
Montserrat" literally means "jagged (serrated) mountain" in Catalan. It describes the peculiar aspect of the rock formation, which is visible from a great distance. The Benedictine abbey, Santa María de Montserrat is located about one half way up the mountian and is the home of one of the two known Black Madonas. An additional attraction at the Abbey is the 50 voice boys choir which is a part of the Montserrat private school operated by the monks of Montserrat.
The park was originally part of a commercially unsuccessful housing site, the idea of Count Eusebi Güell, whom the park was named after. Güell hired Antoni Gaudi to develope the site but it didn't catch on in 1923 the property was given to the city as a park
Located 67 km north of Alicante, the city of CALPE, with its 13,000 inhabitants, is known for its beautiful beaches and its massive rock formation called the Penon de Ifach.Located in the Costa Blanco region of Spain, Calpe can be reached by the A-7 highway or the N-332 national road, the one we took.Calpe has two main beaches, the Cantal Roig and the Playa Arenal and two smaller beaches , La Fossa and the Bay of Gasparet.Many Iberian, Roman and Arab archeological sites exist in the town, due to its coastal location.Calpe is one of the many little towns Hans and I explored along the peninsula. Other towns include Javea, Altea, Moraira/Teulada, Benissa and Denia.
Without a doubt the lovely fishing village of ALTEA is one of the most beautiful towns along the Costa Blanca. I absolutely loved it here and we stayed a couple of hours, just exploring and walking along its wonderful promenade along the beach. Along the Yacht Harbor you will find the beaches of Pueblo Macaret.The most attractive area around Altea is its harbour area with many bars and restaurants. It was a beautiful sunny day and tourists were in abundance.The mountain area of Sierra de Bernia ( photo 4 )which reaches up to 1130 metres high, can be seen from Altea.Just south of Calpe, Altea can be reached using the A-7 highway or the N-332 national
