Here’s the best places to visit in Spain in October:
Barcelona: Of course I had to start with my city! ❤️ Dive into the architectural wonderland of Gaudí, try some delicious tapas (don’t miss the Jamón and Pulpo, trust me!😜), and embrace the charm of the Gothic quarter. Barcelona offers an ideal mix of culture and beachside relaxation.
Seville: My favourite! 😍 Have you ever heard the saying Sevilla tiene un color especial? It sure does! Fall in love with the enchanting streets of Barrio de Santa Cruz, explore the historic Alcazar, and enjoy flamenco 💃🏻 in the sun at the stunning Plaza de España.
Valencia: Discover the futuristic City of Arts and Sciences 🔬 (great for both adults and children) and of course try the famous paella where it was born! 🥘 Walk along the beach and enjoy the blend of tradition and modernity that this city has to offer.
Granada: Ahhh if I have to choose between Sevilla and Granada it gets really difficult… There’s no place in the world like the Alhambra Palace 🤩 Did you know the Arab presence in the Alhambra lasted for about 250 years? Visiting this breathtaking UNESCO World Heritage site is a must! 🔥
Madrid: Explore the heart of Spain in its capital city. Admire world-class art at the Prado Museum and enjoy the lively atmosphere of Plaza Mayor. 🙈I must confess: Madrid has better night life than Barcelona (it’s the Broadway of Spain!) but Madrid doesn’t have a beach! So which one wins? Haha
