Salamanca
Salamanca Salamanca was elected the Cultural Capital of Europe in 2003. It is the heartland of Spanish language education and derives almost 100% of its economy from the sectors of Education and Tourism. It is home to the third oldest university in the world, (founded in 1208 AD) and numerous cathedrals, churches, museums and items of historical interest.
Segovia and Ávila
Segovia and Ávila are historic cities in Castilla Leon. Segovia is home to the Roman Aqueduct of Segovia, built in the 1st century AD and the Alcazar of Segovia (King’s summer residence). The walled city of Ávila is unique in Spain with the whole city being surrounded by ancient fortifications. It was also the birthplace of Saint Teresa, the patron saint of Spain.
Seville is the heart of Andalucía, home of Flamenco, bullfighting, gazpacho and all things Southern Spain. Seville is home to La Giralda, which was the tallest building in the world when it was built (980AD), the Alcazar de Seville, the Guadalquivir River, the Barrio Santa Cruz (the maze-like ancient quarter of town) and one of the world’s largest cathedrals. All of these wrapped in a temperate cl imate makes Seville one of the most visited cities in Europe.
Granada is an autonomous city in the state of Andalucía in Southern Spain. Granada is located at the foot of the Sierra Nevada Mountains and is within an hour of the Mediterranean coast. It is a unique city in many ways. It is said that one can go snow skiing before lunch and swimming in the ocean the same day. It is home to the Alhambra, the ancient Arabic city/palace, said to be one of the seven man-made wonders of the world. It is a fantastic old city; it really has something for everyone.
Toledo is known as the city of three cultures, famous for centuries of harmonious coexistence of Christians, Jews and Muslims. It is famous for its universities and, of course, its steel.
