5.0Plaza de Espana(44.5k reviews) - Some of Star Wars was Filmed Here Wednesday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Spent More than 3 hours Historic Sites • Points of Interest & Landmarks • Architectural Buildings
We visited Plaza de Espana twice while we lived in Spain. The first time was on a Monday in April 2021 and the place was not busy at all! The second time, at the end of July/beginning of August, it was MUCH busier. It's much hotter this time of year but it does seem to be when everyone has the time off! We enjoyed watching a few people dance (they of course pass around a hat for money). There's not much to actually do in the Plaza but plenty of pretty photo ops! Part of the building was used in Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones, where Anakin and Padmé arrive on Naboo. Granted it was 5 years ago but apparently in 2018, Plaza de Espana in Seville was TripAdvisor's #2 top landmark of the year!See more..
4.0Setas de Sevilla (Metropol Parasol)(9.989 reviews) - Simply extraordinary! Wednesday: 9:30 AM - 12:00 AM Spent < 1 hour Points of Interest & Landmarks • Architectural Buildings
A ‘must do’ architectural building being the largest wooden structure in the world. The box office is in the basement of the structure where you can also see the Roman remains uncovered when excavating the site for the building. The price for entry varies during the day by a few euros with evenings apparently being the most expensive as visitors ascend to the roof to watch the sunset and the ever changing coloured lights come on to illuminate the building. Discounted ‘pensionista’ entry tickets are available for seniors on production of photo ID – TOP TIP Always have a photocopy of your passport with you rather than your actual passport which you can leave in your hotel safe. There is a gift shop on the exit route that features more stylish (and expensive) ‘art’ objects than found in your normal attraction site. NOTE -For those troubled by heights, there are no ‘sheer drop’ views as there is always part of the roof below the very sturdy metal walkway.See more..
4.5Balcony of Europe(7.297 reviews) - Simply stunning Points of Interest & Landmarks • Observation Decks & Towers
First visit to Nerja for us and this spot is just stunning. Gorgeous in the morning, so tranquil and beautiful when all lit up on a night time. Sometimes there is street entertainment, while we were there there was an artist, who was amazing, a young girl playing a harp and other musicians and other nights. Gorgeous place. See more..
4.5Puerto de Malaga(6.670 reviews) - Nice walk and area to pass the time. Spent 1-2 hours Points of Interest & Landmarks • Piers & Boardwalks
This is a very nice stretch to stroll along and take in the views and sights. We walked along the Paseo de Los Curas and found lots of cafes, restaurants and shops as well as street performers - singers, dancers and acrobats. There is a 'roof', of sorts, that does give a light bit of shade during hot and sunny days and there is a panoramic view of the harbour with its yachts and bigger ships. It does get very busy especially when the cruise ships are visiting.See more..
4.5Historic Centre of Cordoba(3.784 reviews) - Memorable City Wednesday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Spent 1-2 hours Points of Interest & Landmarks
We visited on a Tuesday in November and it was not crowded at all. The trick is to get there early. If you are at this place by 9:30AM on a week day, you will be able to enjoy all it has to offer with minimal tourist interference. On weekends all bets are off… you maybe shoulder to shoulder with other tourists after 10AM. The narrow cobblestone streets are charming and well taken care of. The city is clean and safe, and there are a variety of shops, cafes, cafe shops, and restaurants to satisfy an array of desires. The staff at all tourist attractions we visited were kind and helpful. Cordoba is definitely one of our favorites in Andalusia. We will be back…See more..

4.5Carrera del Darro(2.821 reviews) - Magical city center Points of Interest & Landmarks
Beautiful walkable town center where you can stroll along and enjoy the magical vibe of this historic town. With a beautiful view of the Alhambra above on the hill and the well preserved architecture of the past surrounding you, this road transports you to a magical time of the past. Great restaurants with outdoor seating the area is just perfect for taking in the sights. Very safe yet can get busy w cars trying to make their way thru the crowds, I’ve heard the road will soon be pedestrian only so should be better. Still most pleasant area to see in historic Granada.

A must do if in the area. Great value got money. We purchased a ticket that gave is access to the caves, the castle and museum at I think €12.50 each. Guided tour was about 45 mins. As English, we were given heads sets with commentary in English. Our guide (lady) was very good. Guess if you are asked not to take photos and you do, then expect to be told off!See more..
4.5Centro Historico de Estepona(1.991 reviews) - Beautiful pastry, walking destination Points of Interest & Landmarks
Try to find a coffee/pastry shop with indoor seating after searching 62 murals. As you know almost everything is closed between 2:00 and 5:00. We found this beautiful pastry shop. Excellent selection of fresh and tasty pastries, Service was prompt and very professional I highly recommend itSee more..
4.0Calleja de las Flores(1.743 reviews) - special Points of Interest & Landmarks • Historic Walking Areas
Throughout the region of Andalusia there are quite a few houses with hanging flower pots. I think this is the most special place. In the evening there are also musicians who come and dance in the area. And especially in the vestibule from which the clock tower of the cathedral can be seen, very specialSee more..
4.5Playa Victoria(1.504 reviews) - One of the best beaches in Spain Points of Interest & Landmarks
Playa Victoria is one of the most beautiful and peaceful beaches in Cádiz despite being right by the city. Even though I live in London, I always come back here every year where I also used to spend my younger years. The beach has changed for the better and hasn't lost any charm. It's clean with fine white sand, clear blue waters, ample spaces to relax and bathe. Good emergency and lifeguarding services, and plenty of restaurants and bars alongside the promenade. No need to go to the Caribbean! See more..
Las Dueñas Palace, House of Alba's current residence in Seville, was built between the 15th and 16th centuries and is one of the greatest historical attractions of the city. The building itself, including styles from Gothic-Mudejar to the Renaissance, has significant architectural interest as its several gardens and patios with a special charm . With a diverse collection of painting and sculpture, the house also treasures many family memories. The current configuration of its pieces has remained true to its actual distribution before the opening, making the Palace a unique and different place to visit.See more..

4.5Plaza de San Nicolas(1.288 reviews) - A busy square and unforgettable views of La Alhambra ... Points of Interest & Landmarks
The "Plaza de San Nicolás" and the "Mirador de San Nicolás" are just about the same thing. Both sided by the 16th century "Iglesia de San Nicolás" and offering the most unforgettable views of "La Alhambra", "Río Darro" and "Sierra Nevada" mountain range in the background. The square is quite busy, specially on sunsets and early evenings on Summer months, when Flamenco dancers, street musicians and craftsmen bring joy and laughter to locals and tourists. Enjoy!See more..
4.0Alcazar Jerez de la Frontera(1.272 reviews) - Good for a Morning Visit in Summer Points of Interest & Landmarks
It may not have the grandeur of Seville or Granada, but it's a taste of historical Jerez, nicely restored by the municipality. Also, at 5 euros each, excluding the cost of the Camera Obscura, it felt good value. We spent an hour and a half, early AM, before visiting the Bodega Tio Pepe, which is virtually next door. Lovely gardens and some good views out over Jerez. Note that last tickets are sold at 14.30 and it may feel very hot in the afternoon, so would recommend AM visit and it opens at 9.00 AM.See more..
4.0Plaza Nueva(1.118 reviews)from $29.98 - A nice square with dancing couples Points of Interest & Landmarks
Granada's central plaza, lined with shops, restaurants and cafes.See more..
4.5Paseo de los Tristes(1.028 reviews) - View from Paseo de Los Tristes Points of Interest & Landmarks
Another area you can view the Alhambra from below. It's a nice area with seating and restaurants that do menu of the day for €12 euros. There is a bakery nearby if you are feeling peckish but don't fancy a full meal or tapas. From this area you can walk on with the wall/river to your right and the road bends to the left and goes uphill. Just as you walk up there is a nice garden on the right Palacio de los Cordova and further on to the right you can walk up to Museo de Las Cuevas which also gives a good viewpoint of the Alhambra. Tip: wear sensible shoes as you do a lot of walking in this city and most is either up or down hill.See more..
4.5Patio de los Naranjos(946 reviews) - Part of Mezquita Experience Points of Interest & Landmarks
You visit this as part of your trip to the cathedral in Cordoba. It acts as a staging ground for those waiting for their timed entry. It's quite beautiful to walk around and lay underneath the orange trees. It's free to come into the space but is generally busy and crowded with tourists waiting for their timed ticket into the Mesquita.See more..
4.5Baeza Old Town(939 reviews) - beautiful town. Good food Spent 2-3 hours Points of Interest & Landmarks
Worth the trip. Beautiful town. Special mention to casa Gregorio/flipper at main square. Best food I have had in some time and very kind generous service. If you would like a fancier restaurant you need reservations.See more..
5.0Feria del Caballo(871 reviews) - Umissable - daytime is best for anyone over 25! Points of Interest & Landmarks
We moved to Jerez for business and family reasons and never expected to be part of such a buzzing cultural city. The Feria is a unique and unmissable experience and as all the locals will attest it is wonderfully open for drinks and lunch - unlike the Seville feria where access to the eating/drinking areas is by invitation. After 3 years of feria in Jerez we are now seasoned visitors, arriving in full sevillana dress for me and the kids. Husband makes do in jeans and a jacket as do the locals. The fair by daytime is magical with the well appointed horses and carriages and freedom to eat and drink and dance. By night the atmosphere is packed and much more nightclub and rather "ugly" if you're looking for culture per se. It is a wonderful experience but come during the day - especially Ladies day and enjoy the spectacle!See more..
5.0Rio Borosa(761 reviews) - Excellent walk Points of Interest & Landmarks
Absolutely incredible. A gorgeous trail, easy paths, dog friendly, stunning nature, must do! You can choose a short or long walk, and it is relatively easy if you take your time. To get to the picturesque river, it will take roughly 1 hour. I suggest going earlier in the morning, as the trail was rather packed by around 11am and then it'll be scorching hot by the time you finish. Make sure you pack water, good walking shoes, sunblock, a hat and a snack if necessary.See more..
4.5Muelle del Tinto(688 reviews) - Nice construction Points of Interest & Landmarks
Very nice to watch the sunset. We also like to do a picknick here. You can watch the sea and still be guarded from the sunSee more..
4.5Plaza del Triunfo(685 reviews) - A Plaza with history Points of Interest & Landmarks • Historic Walking Areas
Plaza del Triunfo is a beautiful public space. It is surrounded by a lot of history and that is seen in buildings like the Cathedral, the Real Alcazar, the Convent of the Encarnación and the lovely atmosphere of the square itself. Its name goes back to the 18th century and is connected to the Portuguese capital Lisbon. When a devastating and powerful earthquake hit Lisbon, it was felt in Seville. At that very moment, according to tradition, worshippers were inside the Cathedral, during Mass. Undeterred, they went outside on to the square, where the Mass continued. Seville, as it turned out escaped the earthquake almost unscathed. In return they named the Square in remembrance of this event. A fitting monument to the Virgin Mary was also built there.See more..
Plaza de Las Tendillas is a central area of Cordoba. It is meant to be the commercial centre of the city. Several important commercial buildings are located there. Important city buildings such as La Unión y el Fénix, the Enriquez Barrios House, the Luis de Góngora Institute and the Colomera Palace are all located in this area. They all have a story to tell. In the centre of the plaza is the equestrian monument to the Great Captain, an important historical figure in the history of Cordoba. And the well known Tendillas Clock, which welcomes every new Year on the last day of December, is also located atop a corner building in the Plaza. And then there are the cafes and several eateries in the vicinity. The plaza has some lovely greenery and seats to use for tired bodies. We certainly enjoyed our short time in this plaza.See more..
4.5Zahara de la Sierra(633 reviews) - A Pueblo Blanco Jewel Spent 1-2 hours Points of Interest & Landmarks
Zahara is a pueblo blanco that is a bit off the tourist track, but well worth a stop or overnight stay. We decided to stay a bit impulsively, found a three-bedroom apartment on Booking.com for less than 60 euros, and were entranced by the town and its local feel. We found good food, breathtaking scenery, and perhaps the most amazing Moorish (later Castilian) castle in all of Andalusia. Don’t miss it!See more..
4.5Arcos de la Frontera(610 reviews) - On the Andalucian White Village Route Spent < 1 hour Points of Interest & Landmarks • Castles
Stayed here in February but by no means closed up completely. This beautiful little village lies southwest of Seville, easy to get to by car (not sure about public transport) and is a mix of the old Arcos and modern on the edges of the town. Possible to eat and drink reasonably to around 11 in the evening at this time of year. Stunning views of the castle from the low road. Well stocked supermarkets, Carrefour and El Jamon two of the biggest with reasonable prices. Well placed to visit round about, Jerez, Cadiz, Medina Sidonia, Sanlucar de Barrameda.See more..
4.5Plaza Vazquez de Molina(598 reviews) - another gem of Renaissance Points of Interest & Landmarks • Architectural Buildings
Plaza Vazquez de Molina is surrounded by Renaissance style buildings: Palacio del Dean Ortega (there is hotel now), Palacio Vazquez de Molina (there is Town Hall now), Palacio del Marques de Mancera, Basilica de Santa María de los Reales Alcazares, Sacra Capilla del Salvador. The most of them were designed or their construction were carried out by the Spanish architect Andres de Vandelvira. All facades of the palaces have strict forms of classical Renaissance style but are very majestic at the same time, and Sacra Capilla del Salvador has exceptionally beautiful exterior as well as interior. If anyone doubts whether it is worthwhile to see the interior of this chapel, at first can visit the exhibition in the basement of Town Hall.See more..
4.5Cabo de Gata Lighthouse(587 reviews) - Nice view from the Sirens' Lookout Points of Interest & Landmarks • Lighthouses
The lighthouse itself is not really a great view as it looks quite run down and there is no access to it. But at the balcony next to it you get a view from the Sirens' Lookout which is one of the main attractions in the area according to the online lists of places to see in Cabo de Gata. We walked a little beyond the dead end in the road as we thought the view point was further along but it's to the left of the lighthouse so don't miss it! See more..
4.5Yacimiento Arqueologico Gadir(582 reviews) - Quick, free tour Wednesday: 11:00 AM - 2:00 PM, 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM Spent < 1 hour Points of Interest & Landmarks • History Museums

4.5Boveda del Rio Cerezuelo(480 reviews) - River walk under the town Points of Interest & Landmarks
This was a real treat! Go to the Tourist Information on the Plaza Santa Maria, and into the Ruinas de Santa Maria. For just €2 per adult and €1 per child, the guide will take you alongside the river and through a tunnel underneath the square. Only takes about half an hour, and is a different experience.See more..
4.5Cabo Trafalgar(453 reviews) - Definitely worth the drive to see a bit of history Points of Interest & Landmarks
On 21 October 1805 just offshore from here Nelson defeated the combined French and Naval fleets at the battle of Trafalgar. Today the site is a haven for the surfing set. There is a small monument/plaque on a cairn on a sandy track leading to a modern lighthouse. The latter is very photogenic. The beaches are good, the waves impressive and the wind relentless. It is off the beaten track although served by a very good road network from Cadiz. There is good secure parking at the Faros Trafalgar car park (€3 all day) and plenty of restaurants and shops. The Las Dunas restaurant is recommended (see my TA review). If you are into surf sports this place will be heaven but it’s well worth a visit just to stroll along the beach and soak up the historySee more..

It’s our favorite white town. Very close to the seaside and still on the hills. Lovely small roads open to this square which is the heart of town. Loved it. See more..
Got the local bus (€1.20) from the plaza and went up to catch the sunset. Beautiful. We loved the layout of the bar, shops and the little streets. It would be easy to get lost, but just as easy to make your way back to the main square. If we ever come back to Mojacar, this will be must for another pleasant evening.See more..
4.5Alcazaba(370 reviews) - Awesome, Historical Fortress with Fantastic Views of City Spent 1-2 hours Points of Interest & Landmarks • Architectural Buildings
Prior to visiting the Algazaba, recommend going to one of the many miradors (we went to the Mirador de San Nicolas) to view the city landscape and Alhambra, Generalife and Alcazaba. While a few in the day is impressive, it really becomes beautiful at night, as it is lit up. When we visited, we started off at the Alcazaba, then Alhambra and then proceeded to the Generalife, due to how they’re all situated between each other.See more..

4.5Castillo de La Iruela(200 reviews) - What a wonderful place! Points of Interest & Landmarks
Amazing place, so we'll kept considering how old it is. The views are to die for and so it is the climb to get to it. It doesn't matter where you look, you just can't stop taking pictures. In every direction you look there is unique and breath taking scenery. Highly recommendable, although I'd say you need to be fairly fit. The visit will cost you 1,00€, yes you heard well it isn't a joke. Spain is definitely different!See more..
