A Stunningly Beautiful Trip to Spain: I Want to Show You a Spain Beyond Madrid and Barcelona!

Spain, what kind of country is it really?

Being late, lazy, procrastinating, inefficient, and having a bizarre daily schedule are the labels of Spaniards.

It is also the spiritual homeland for overworked employees; working overtime here is illegal. They love festivals and vacations, and it feels like they celebrate every week, not just every month.

Of course, it is also a great country for travel. Surrounded by the sea on three sides, it boasts numerous breathtaking landscapes.

Romantic flower cities, artistic colorful towns, magnificent palaces, rich festive atmosphere... Here you can always encounter little surprises.

The ancient city of Toledo, less than an hour's drive from the capital Madrid, is full of medieval antiquity and tranquility.

The ancient city is quite large, with a stretch of orange-yellow brick and stone buildings. Inside the city are towering towers, square castles, and dense residential buildings, looking ancient and magnificent under the sunlight.

Everywhere in the city are narrow winding paths, with stone roads rising and falling. Occasionally there are lively markets along the streets, with retro jazz music coming from restaurants and the aroma of wheat from bakeries.

Toledo Cathedral is a church that still retains its medieval style, with complexity and splendor comparable to Notre-Dame de Paris!

You can choose to take a sightseeing train to tour the entire ancient city of Toledo. The train stops at many scenic spots, and visitors can choose to get on and off freely.

This city, also in Andalusia, has azure skies, eclectic churches, and courtyards decorated with flowers, so romantic that the air seems to bubble with pink.

Wandering through the old town, you will be amazed by the private courtyards each with its own style; before you know it, you will be stunned by a street lined with rows of blue flower pots blooming with gorgeous flowers.

Those who love flowers and beauty must not miss the Alley of Flowers (Calle de las Flores), one of the most typical streets in Córdoba.

As its name suggests, the balconies of every household and the white walls on both sides of the alley are always decorated with seasonal flowers, and a faint fragrance of flowers permeates the city.

The dining prices in Córdoba are not expensive either; 10-20 euros per person is enough for a full meal.

Granada, located in Andalusia, is ancient and alternative, with European, African, and especially Arab flavors.

It was once ruled by the Moors, and a strong Arab atmosphere pervades the streets and alleys. Whether religious architecture or cultural characteristics, it is all-encompassing.

The Alhambra is the palace of the Nasrid dynasty built by the Moors in the Middle Ages. The entire palace is in Islamic style and is one of the most beautiful buildings in the Islamic world.

The Albaicín district is the oldest neighborhood in Granada. Although the houses are intricate and uneven in height, viewed from afar it looks like a mysterious town.

The narrow alleys are always decorated with flowers from every household, full of charm and poetry. Whether at dawn or dusk, it is always beautiful like a painting.

Ronda, this 'city in the sky' built on a cliff, has been given countless names: the white town on the cliff, the best place in the world to elope, one of the six most beautiful small towns in the world...

It is the birthplace of Spanish bullfighting, the hometown of Spanish bullfighters, and a pilgrimage site for bullfighting fans!

El Tajo Gorge splits the town in two. Seen from afar, Ronda, with its many white houses scattered, is as beautiful and moving as clouds falling on the grassland.

The New Bridge spanning the gorge is one of the most photographed buildings in Spain, with views of the beautiful, rolling Ronda mountains.

It is worth mentioning that romantic Ronda is a city with a very high romance encounter index.

Mijas is a white town in Andalusia, with red-roofed white-walled houses spreading along gently sloping hillsides overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.

White facades, red barrel tiles, undulating in height, set against the blue sea and sky, exude a strong sense of leisure and elegance.

Every terrace and courtyard of the town is decorated with flowers and tiles by their life-loving owners, full of charm.

There are many shops selling souvenirs on both sides of the street, with white walls hung with colorful handicrafts, adding much color to the town.

Occasionally, horse-drawn carriages passing through the streets evoke a nostalgic feeling. The most famous local transport is donkey carts, and there are also donkey taxis you can ride directly, about 20 euros.

Barcelona

Barcelona is the city of Gaudí. This city, thanks to Gaudí's great and fantastical architecture, is colorful and full of fun, making people unconsciously want to be intoxicated forever.

Among all of Gaudí's works, the most famous is the miracle in human procrastination history: the Sagrada Família, a 'unfinished building' that has been under construction for 135 years and has become a World Heritage site.

Exiting the Sagrada Família and heading west along Avinguda Diagonal, you will soon see Gaudí's last private residential design: Casa Milà.

Not far from Casa Milà is Gaudí's masterpiece from his prime: Casa Batlló.

Besides Gaudí's works, Barcelona also has sunshine, the Mediterranean, handsome men and beautiful women with delicious food and wine, pleasant climate, and charming scenery.

Schengen countries: When traveling to Schengen Agreement countries, you can apply for a visa from any one country, applying to the embassy of the main destination country in China; if the main destination is uncertain or the stay time in each destination is average, apply to the embassy of the first destination country.

Spain's cost of living is moderate in Europe. Dining is really cheap; even in tourist cities, a fast food meal is at most 6 euros, and main dishes are 10-12 euros. Accommodation is around 50 euros.

★ Internet access methods

If you plan a multi-country road trip in Europe, I recommend RoamWifi portable WiFi. No need to change SIM card; just activate the corresponding country data plan or multi-country Europe plan. It's cheaper than buying roaming data packages and also has Google navigation function.
