Bilbao, the Capital of the Basque Country, attracts tourists for being a beautiful town and for the modern museum Guggenheim, which is most famous for its extraordinary architecture.

 

To the Northwest lies Galicia, which also forms part of "Green Spain". Galicia is like the Basque Country known for its green countryside and as being the principal fishing region of Europe . The last also attracts tourists to Galicia to experience the great variety of fresh fish.

 

Barcelona, the Capital of Catalonia (Northeast) and second largest city of Spain , has been home of many of the most famous artist of Spain . In the tour of this city you find splendid architecture by Gaudi, and painters such as Dali and Picasso also spend long periods in Catalonia .

 

Valencia lies along the Mediterranean cost (south of Catalonia ) and attracts a lot of tourism for its beaches and the climate. Another speciality of Valencia is the paella and the many popular town festivals celebrated there (i.e. "Fejas" in April).

In the center of Spain lies Madrid where you can also find a lot of interesting guided tours. As the capital of Spain since 1576, Madrid hosts many historical monuments. The Royal castle and museums like el Prado and Reina Sofia (with paintings of Velasquez, Goya, Miro and Picasso) are only a few of the many great attraction the city can present.

The many beaches and the perfect climate is one of the reasons for doing a guided tours here. People also come to Andalucia to discover the culture and history of the area (like the Moorish Monuments Alhambra in Granada and the Mosque in Cordoba ). The Festivals all over Andalucia from April to October, the hospitality of the people, and the great possibility to practice golf and water sports are other reason why the region is so popular.
