3. Bilbao – It may seem that there’s not much to really see around however visitors who take the time to look beyond the sheer Bilbao’s industrial façade will find much to explore. The standout attraction is the Guggenheim Bilbao Museum which is one of architect Frank Gehry’s most spectacular achievements. The curvaceous titanium-clad building is home to more than 100 exhibitions of modern art. A short walk from the museum over the Zubizuri footbridge will lead visitors to the historic Old Quarter which has a host of monumental churches.

4. Girona -Explore the city’s Old Quarter which takes tourists past Roman walls, Moorish baths and Gothic churches, and you might just get flown away into the narrow alleyways and stone lanes. Because of its ability to withstand invasions from powerful forces for centuries, Girona is known as “The City of a Thousand Sieges.” Visit to Girona is not complete without climbing the 89 steps to the Girona Cathedral to view its famous “Tapestry of the Creation,” an embroidered panel that dates back to the 11th century.
