This is an unforgettable
trip through Spain's three most important cities:
Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia.
You'll enjoy the
fabulous beauty of the Spanish capital, where the
saying used to be "from Madrid to the
Heavens". The meaning of this popular saying
will be made very clear when observing the majestic
buildings, old palaces and monasteries in downtown
Madrid. You will also find the city's charm when you
go through the maze of its ancient streets and
alleys, losing yourself in the infinity of its
taverns and wine shops that seem to be open 24 hours
a day...
Madrid is a large
modern metropolis, the political and financial center
of Spain. It is one of the most attractive cities in
Europe, and one of the richest when it comes to the
countless artistic treasures contained in its famous
museums, El Prado, the Thyssen-Bornemisza, the Royal
Palace and the Escorial. Madrid, just like Paris, is
well worth a mass.
With complete reason,
and without incurring into exaggeration, Barcelona
can be said to be the most European city in Spain,
which throughout its history has always felt
attracted to the northern neighbor of France. The
fusion of all Mediterranean cultures and
civilizations is perhaps better expressed here than
in any other city in Spain. You'll get to know the
modern and ancient Barcelona, you'll see the
masterpieces of the great Gaudí, whose
boundless fantasy will make your encounter with
Barcelona one that is unforgettable.
On the outskirts of
Barcelona you'll visit two cities: Figueras and
Gerona. In Figueras you may be somewhat shocked by
the Salvador Dalí Theatre-Museum, but in
Gerona you'll have a chance to recover your
emotional state of mind when contemplating the
medieval sobriety of the numerous monuments of this
friendly city that was the center of an important
Jewish community.
Valencia, the great
produce garden of Spain, is a famous agricultural center
of citrus and rice plantations. It is "the land
of the flowers of light and love", as the
famous Paso doble by José Padilla says. In
this third Spanish city, the past and the present
have intermingled in a very peculiar way. And you'll
witness that for yourself when seeing the medieval
buildings in the old quarters and the ultra modern
City of the Arts and Sciences which, although built
very recently, has already become one of the city's
biggest attractions.
