Even if the Greek islands are a great option for the summer, this month we want to change the destination and fly to Spain. As we already didlast month with Italy, here you have four of the best Spanish cities where you can spend July.
Get ready for the color –and the hot-, the happiness, for a good paella and a refreshing sangria. Let’s enjoy!
SEVILLE
Seville has a special color… a color that paints with music and good humor. Is the most populated city in Andalusia and the fourth in the whole country, only after Madrid, Valencia and Barcelona. Also, its old town is the most extensive of Spain and one of the biggest in Europe, with the cities of the neighboring country, Venice and Genoa. Its historic and monumental heritage and its various scenic and cultural spaces make it one of the destinations preferred by tourists, both national and international. Highlight its cathedral with the famous Giralda, the Alcazar and Archivo de Indias, all declared World Heritage by UNESCO in 1987.

GRANADA
Without leaving Andalusia, we find a city that changes drastically style depending on the area where you are, its neighborhoods are so different between themselves because of the big and continous immigration of 1990, to name a few, there are Zaidin, Albaicin, Sacromonte, Realejo, Chana, Almanjayar and Cartuja. Its monuments, its proximity to the ski resort and its Costa Tropical, attract a large number of tourists each year, without forgetting the popular Alhambra! Declared World Heritage in 1984 by the UNESCO. Do you want a curious information? Its cathedral is considered the first Renaissance church of Spain.

BARCELONA
At the north-east of the peninsula, bordering the Mediterranean Sea, the Pyrenees mountain range and France, lies Barcelona, a city that has been the scene of many international events, such as the Universal Exhibition of 1888, the International Exhibition of 1929, the Olympic Games of 1992 or the Universal Forum of Cultures of 2004. Who has never wanted to see the Sagrada Familia of Gaudí or stroll along its famous Ramblas, where the statue of Colombus looks at the sea? Do not forget to visit the Parque Güell, the Casa Milà, the Palace of Catalan Music or the Casa Batlló, among its many charms, all declared Worls Heritage by UNESCO!

CORDOBA
Do you miss the south? You’re lucky, because we finish with another Andalusian city, nothing less than the capital! It is located on the banks of the Guadalquivir and at the foot of Sierra Morena, and is the third largest and most populous city in Andalusia, behind Seville and Malaga. In its old town Roman and Muslim buildings are mixed, thanks to its past, which has given it a beautiful architectural heritage. Mosques, libraries, baths and souks await for you throughout the city. UNESCO has declared a World Heritage Site to its historic center and its mosque-cathedral, and Intangible Heritage to the Feast of the Cordovan Patios.
