Spain Sightseeing

Spain Sightseeing posts cover the obvious destinations and a few quieter ones. Articles look at the Alhambra in Granada with its timed-entry system, the Sagrada Familia and Gaudi route in Barcelona, the Prado and Reina Sofia in Madrid, the Cordoba Mezquita, the Roman aqueduct in Segovia, Toledo as a one-day trip from the capital, the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela at the end of the Camino, and the rock-cut town of Setenil in Andalusia. There are practical notes on the long lunch break, on the late opening hours of monuments and on the difference between high and shoulder season.
