8 Spanish Destinations to Inspire You

Travels in Andalucía will deposit you in places where you can peel off the region’s checkered history in dusty layers: edgy Granada, arty Málaga, vivacious Seville, sleepy Grazalema, rugged Ronda, brassy Marbella; places that lodge in your memory like collected souvenirs.
2. Spain - Cantabria & Asturias (PDF Chapter) Lonely Planet
The coastline of Cantabria & Asturias is a sequence of sheer cliffs, beautiful beaches and small fishing ports. Behind it, gorgeously green river valleys dotted with stone-built villages rise to the 2000m-plus mountain wall of the Cordillera Cantábrica.

If you’re looking for a window on the Spanish soul, head to Castilla y León. This is Spain without the stereotypes, with vast plains, spectacular mountain peaks and evocative medieval towns.
4. Spain - Mallorca, Menorca & Ibiza (PDF Chapter) Lonely Planet
