Introduction
Spain is a great place to travel, but it’s full of incredible cities, so it can be hard to decide where to start. While this list is by no means comprehensive or comprehensive in any way, I hope these 10 spots will help you plan your trip!
Barcelona
Barcelona is the capital of Catalonia and the second largest city in Spain. It is a major international tourist destination and a popular tourist destination.
Barcelona is a cultural, economic and financial centre. The city ranks high on world livability rankings; it was ranked as having the highest quality of life among European cities as measured by Mercer's Quality of Living Survey in 2010, 2011 and 2012; it received this award every year since 2003 except for 2007 when it was ranked third behind Vienna and Zurich respectively (see [1]). In 2009 Barcelona was voted by CNN as one of five World's Most Livable Cities ranking first place among all cities worldwide (see [2]). In 2012 it also won an award for being Europe's most creative city based on its creative industries such as music production or fashion design with an average monthly income per capita over €30k.
Madrid
Madrid is the capital city of Spain and has a lot to offer. It's a great place to visit for its culture, food, nightlife and more!
Madrid is home to some of Spain’s most famous landmarks including La Plaza de España and El Prado Museum (which houses Pablo Picasso’s Guernica). You can also visit some interesting museums like Museo del Prado or Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza.
Seville
The Cathedral of Seville. This is one of the most important buildings in all of Spain, and it's also one of the oldest Christian churches on earth. The cathedral was built between 1248 and 1401, during a period when Seville was growing into one of Europe's major ports. You can see how it has evolved over time by visiting its many museums—the Museo de Bellas Artes houses paintings from medieval times to today; while Museo del Baile contains dancing costumes and masks dating back to 18th century Spain (and beyond).
The Alcazar de Sevilla occupies an entire city block near Plaza Nueva (New Square). It served as a royal residence until Philip III moved his court there after establishing himself as King in 1561; then Napoleon stayed here during his siege before moving on again when he retreated from Madrid . . . so you know there must be lots going on inside! There are several restaurants inside but if you're feeling adventurous try El Balcon del Rey which overlooks Plaza Nueva with views over both sides - this restaurant serves traditional dishes like paella Valenciana or grilled beefsteak steak served with rice & beans plus various salads including typical tapas such as ham croquettes (similar to empanadas) stuffed with cheese y salmorejo sauce made from tomatoes , pickles etcetera depending upon where they come from anyway...
Granada
Granada is a city in Andalusia, southern Spain. It's the capital of the province of Granada. Granada is situated at the foot of the Sierra Nevada mountains and has long been known as an important centre for silver mining and production.
You can visit many attractions in this lovely city:
The Alhambra palace complex is one of Spain’s most impressive architectural achievements (and UNESCO World Heritage Site). This palace was built by Nasrid king Muhammad XII who ruled from 1481-1505 AD; it has been restored several times since then but still retains its original beauty today! You can also visit some other palaces around town such as El Generalife or La Alhambra Palace Museum where you'll find lots more information about these fascinating buildings too!
Valencia
Valencia is the third largest city in Spain and the capital of the autonomous community of Valencia. It is known for its water front, which was built back in the '70s by architect Santiago Calatrava.

It was founded by Carthaginians as Hispalis Ulpia Traiana Bética in 226 BC, after whom it was called. The Romans conquered it in 121 BC and made it part of Hispania Tarraconensis province. During Roman rule, this city became an important trading center for goods like wool cloths (tracta), salt from wells in Guadalajara or Léon province; olive oil from Salamanca; wine from Rueda de Duero valley; iron ore mined near Toro because there was not enough wood available for smelting iron ore at that time

It is also known as Palma and/or Parma by its residents, who call it La Ciudad (The City). Palma's population numbers approximately 350,000 inhabitants (1 January 2015).
