MADRID

Spain's largest and most important city reflects what any European city has to offer- It has something for everyone. For the art and history lover there are famous museums like the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, El Prado and the Reina Sofía. The women would love to shop at the Sunday morning market, El Rastro. For soccer fans, a visit to Santiago Bernabeu, the home of the Real Madrid soccer club is a must. The nightlife here may surprise the regular tourist because people including the older folks walk around the streets way past midnight. This of course may be the benefits of a well taken siesta!

VALENCIA

The birthplace of Spanish paella, the famous Tomatina Tomato fights and a walk through the old town offers much for the time bound traveler. Despite being the third largest city, Valencia is happy with the few sights it offers; the locals prefer to engage the traveler in their delectable variety of paellas instead.

PACKAGE HOLIDAY TO SPAIN | GRANADA

Granada was the last city to fall during the Crusades. The Fortress at Alhambra built during the Moorish rule contains vast expanses of the most beautiful gardens in and around the fortress. The tapas here are known to come free and therefore they obviously taste better! If you are a tea drinker, indulge yourself at the Moroccan tea houses. Cheapoair is a great source for low airfares and travel deals to Spain.
