Barcelona is the second largest city in Spain in both size and population. It is also the capital of Catalonia. There are two official languages spoken in Barcelona: Catalan, generally spoken in all of Catalonia, and Castillian Spanish.
Unequivocally a Mediterranean city, not only because of its geographic location but also and above all because of its history, tradition and cultural influences, is really a collection of multi-faceted and diverse cities. One of the most cosmopolitan Cities in the world, dynamic, attractive and modern.
The City offers an excellent Public Transport infrastructure, either by bus or underground.
Don't miss taking a daytime walk through Plaza Catalunya and the Gothic Quarter which change completly change their look by night. Many times, people associate this site with the Heart of the City, but in fact, Barcelona has many other meuralgic points thanks to Artistic Monuments spread through out the City. It makes it different from the rest of the Cities by its originality and eccentricity, hightlighting Gaudi's ones among them.
From the El Prat-Airport You can take a train to Sants and/or França Railway Stations, or a public bus straight to Pl. Catalunya. You'll find full information at www.aena.es.
For your night out in this City, always take a taxi, specially for the Gothic Quarter, Las Ramblas and Maremagnum's area.

Valencia is a beautiful city and the third largest city in Spain with a population of approximately 1 million people. A City along the sea with a large coast and great beaches with white and fine sand and the best climate of all Spain.
There is an excellent bus system all around the City and a new underground system. The City has two distinct parts: the Historical Center, the old part of the town and the supermodern City of Arts and Sciences of Santiago Calatrava. Its beautiful landscapes of the interior where mountain towns and country villages still preserve their authentic flavour and cultural heritage.
Its network of highways links Valencia directly to other cities in Spain and makes it the City nearest to all: Barcelona is only 4 hours driving and 3h.30m by a fast train. Madrid is 4h.30m. I would recommend that You visit also the "Dream Route of Quijote" only 3 hours away by a comfortable motorway.
Generally the night out don't come up a problem. Valencia has a vibrant nightlife under the midnight moon in which walking is enjoyable.
Valencia offers you the ideal conditions to know the country and its culture, with plenty of sightseeing to do and meeting its people, its affordable prices, atmosphere, its festivals, wonderful beaches, cafes and music offering terraces, its incomparable and well known gastronomy, the hospitality and outgoing character of the Valencian people, makes Valencia a passionate City.

If You love Spain You'll love Sevilla, the essence of Andalucia, a mixture of cultures: Arab, Jewish and Roman.
If You love Architecture and Art, You have an obligatted date with Sevilla. This impressive City tipically Spanish, has one of the most important monumental legacies in the world. The City keeps the largest Gothic Architectonics treasures of the world: The Cathedral and a large ensemble of monuments, Palaces, Gardens, narrow streets, beautiful plazas with well-kept courtyards "patios" which are necessary to highlight. Apart from this, Sevilla has one of Spain's major centres for painting.
You can not miss this wonderful City, You have to visit it at least, one time in a life time. Sevillanos are very friendly people and You quickly discover that, having wine in one of their many terraces is a indiscribable pleasure.
Comfortables buses link other Cities that are worth visiting once's here. Cordoba by train is only 45 min. and Granada (3hours) or Madrid in only 2h.30min. by a fast train (AVE) from "Santa Justa" Main Train Station.
Sevilla has acctually the underground under construction, so, to rent a car and moving along the City could be an ordeal. I advise You to use the superb public bus transport, with bus lanes specially suited for them.
Generally the night out it is safe. Sevilla is a warm City and there is a nice atmosphere by night.

The very best Tapas are served in Granada. Everything You can't imagine accompanied by a fine glass of wine or a nice cold beer, in a City full of history.
Granada is the heart of Andalusia. A Land of stark contrasts, the last capital of Al-Andalus has landscapes of unparalleled beauty, between snow and sea. The rich heritage of the province of Granada gives an idea of the historic and cultural importance of the last stronghold of Al-Andalus.
Iberians, Romans and Visigoths preceded the civilisation under which Granada was to become a cultural point of reference for centuries: Islam.
The Alhambra and The Generalife gardens are the two Spanish monuments which attract the highest number of visitors and have been declared World Heritage Sites by UNESCO.
There is an excellent bus system all around the City, comfortables buses link other Cities that are worth visiting once's here, such as Sevilla or Cordoba and also is easy to arrange a day trip to Madrid.
