Travelling to Spain for 40 days Dec/Jan

>>1179153
I'm a Murican living in Spain. I've travelled all over the country so I can offer some advice:

- You're right on the money with Toledo. Called "the city of three cultures" for its mix of Islam, Christianity, and Judaism. A ton of history present in its art and architecture. Check the El Greco Museum and the cathedral, but aside from that, you can't go wrong just walking around the old town. Climb up La Piedra for the views of the city.

- You're also on the money with Sevilla and Cordoba. I'm not sure what else there is to do besides visit the mosque-cathedral, though. In my experience, Sevilla warrants a longer stay. I think Christopher Columbus is buried there in a big cathedral if you want to check that out.

- Be sure to go to Granada. The Alhambra speaks for itself, while the rest of the city is young, vibrant, and incredibly scenic

- Barcelona, although it's a path well-trodden, is worth a visit. Especially considering you're going in the winter. It won't be touristy madness. My friends and I rented bikes while we were there are and just rode around the city, got to see everything. The Gothic Quarter, Park Guell, La Sagrada Familia, as well as Gaudi's many other works nestled in the city. Barceloneta is a neat little neighborhood, too. If you're there for a few days and can spare a day trip, hike up Mont Serrat.

- If you can make it that far north, San Sebastian is worth a visit as well.

Make sure to get your Alhambra tickets way in advance. Otherwise you'll end up disappointed.

That looks like a guided tour. So whatever is your cup of tea. I prefer independent touring. There is an official Alhambra tickets site where you can get just the tickets. There are two stages, one for the gardens, and the other for the Nazrid palace (that one is timed, so be careful).

10 seconds in google brings this official page:
