Top 10 Places to Visit in Spain
I spent the last few summers exploring the wonderful country of Spain and I want to show you my favorite places so here’s my “Top 10 Places to Visit in Spain”. Spain has to be one of my all-time and I just can’t get enough of this country let’s start this Blog “Top 10 Places to Visit in Spain” off at possibly my Favourite island in the world Mallorca.
When you think of a Mediterranean paradise this is it. Mallorca is home to crystal clear water windy roads and some of the world’s best club jumping spots. When I started solo traveling this was the first place I went to so it will forever have a special place in my heart. One of my favourite places in Mallorca is Cala Varques.
Cala Varques
Now to get to Cala Varques, You can walk down this long dirt road and make it down to the beach. You’re going to be blown away by the beauty of this place. I mean it literally has everything from sandy beaches to prime clip jumping spots the combination of white limestone green vegetation and crystal blue water makes for one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been. Now when I was there I did one of the biggest club jumps of my life and I Gainered off this massive 60 foot arch and it was so freaking terrifying but to this day. It’s one of my all-time favourite child memories.
Another cool thing I did is me and my brother we found these underwater caves and we swam through them. I mean I couldn’t believe how clear this water was, it’s my dream playground and I can’t recommend it enough.
Sa Calobra Road
Now on the other side of my Varques. You can visit the famous road to Sa Calobra. Now coming from the us I’m used to wide roads and highways so this blew my mind. Roads in Europe tend to be pretty skinny but this was by far the most crazy road I’ve ever drove on. It was full of hairpin turns and loops that wind down the mountain the surrounding area is absolutely gorgeous, I mean just had massive mountains that lead down to the sea. I believe a lot of car commercials are filmed here and I totally understand why I found a really cool lookout point to get a view of the road. While I was driving down it I was just pretty terrified there were some spots that only had enough room for one car.
Torrent De Paris
Now you can take the road down to the bottom and visit Torrent De Paris. It’s this awesome beach between these two cliffs. I had just a good time chilling. I was just amazed by all those sailboats that were just living in the bay there. when I was there I wish I would have stayed for sunset because I hear it’s just incredible on that side of the island. Anyways it’s just an amazing place. In this blog “Top 10 Places to Visit in Spain”, I have tried to visit all the places. So that you do not have any problem in planning your trip here.
Canary Islands
All right so after we’re gonna go ahead to the Atlantic ocean to visit the Volcanic Canary Islands. They’re located off the coast of north western Africa Canary Islands are home to some of the world’s most unique landscapes. You might as well call them the Hawaiian islands of Europe. Because that’s what they remind me of the biggest and most populated island on the Archipelago is called Tenerife. Now it looks like a prime location to film the next Jurassic park film. I mean it’s just so crazy out there. It’s home to Mount Tahide. which is a dormant volcano that is Spain’s highest peak at hundred and ninety eight feet that’s freaking high.
Los Gigantes
One of the craziest places in Tenerife is the cliffs of Los Gigantes. They are these massive sheer cliff walls that rise 800 meters out of the ocean. I mean I felt like I was going to see a flying dinosaur soaring over those cliffs. You can go venture to the windy roads of the Moscow gorge or you can explore the incredible seaside views at Playa de Benijo.
Fuerteventura
I seriously just can’t get over how beautiful this place is now you can also head over to the nearby island of Fuerteventura being the second largest of the Canary islands. Fuerteventura also offers some jaw-dropping landscapes. The Playa De Cofete is an incredible isolated beach with a backdrop of desolate mountains.
One of my favorite places is the Parque Natural De Corralejo. It’s home to a pristine area that has sand dunes that go right up to the ocean. I mean just how freaking cool is that, Fuerteventura is such a unique location aside from Tenerife and Fuerteventura the Canary islands are also home to islands such as Lanzarote and Gran Canaria canaries are a place that i haven’t visited yet but you best believe I’m going there as soon as I can.
Picos de Europa
Now after canaries want to head back to the mainland to hike the mountains of Picos de Europa. Located in northern Spain lies these crazy mountains that remind me a lot of the Dolomites. This is just another place that I haven’t been yet I just want to go so freaking bad.
Navranjo De Bulnes
One of the most crazy and impressive places is Navranjo De Bulnes. Now it’s this massive rock tower that shoots straight out of the mountain. I mean just so freaking epic I mean I can’t believe it. when I just look at this video these pictures. I just want to go hiking there so bad the highest point in Picos de Europa is Torre Cerredo at an elevation of 2600 meters. You want to get lost in the mountains for a few days. You’ll have to add Picos de Europa to your Spain travel list.
Barcelona
All right so after Picos, We’re going to Barcelona is home to architecture, the Mediterranean Beaches an all-around energetic wives. So I was filming a cruise ship and we stopped here for a day. So I decided to go the city and this was such a good time we just chill there and enjoy the views of the city the began construction of over 130 years ago and it still isn’t finished, I mean like how freaking crazy is that mountains of Montserrat. it was just a quick hour train ride or drive from Barcelona making it a perfect day trip. Mozzarella is really cool because it has these really unique mountains that give a view of all of Catalonia.
Now when you get there you can go take a cable car up to the Abbey of Montserrat. which is a mountain monastery that offers some incredible views. Now there’s a ton of hiking trails that lead you to religious relics around the mountains. Definitely do some hikes once you’re up there. I mean it’s just such a unique location and you know me I like my rocks this place has a bunch of them.
Andalusia
All right so after Montserrat, We’re gonna head down south to visit the region of Andalusia. Now Andalusia is an autonomous community that covers pretty much all of southern Spain. Now the capital of Andalusia is Seville. It’s a very historic city where flamenco dancing was born. One of the most beautiful cities in Andalusia in my opinion is Ronda.
Now it’s about a two-hour drive from Seville and what I think is so cool about Ronda is this massive bridge called Puente Nuevo. It was built in the 18th century to cross El Tajo Gorge. I mean I just can’t get over the architecture of the arches. I’ve never seen anything like it before.
Costa del Sol
Andalusia is also home to Costa del Sol. which is where a lot of spain’s best beaches and coastal cities are located such as malaga and Marbella. All right so after Andalusia won’t head north to visit the nearby Alicante. The Alicante is a picturesque city right on the Mediterranean ocean.
Santa Bárbara Castle
Now one of the most prominent features of Alicante is the Santa Bárbara Castle. The ancient fortress overlooks the city and the Playa del Postiguet down below. Now a cool place near Alicante is La manga. It’s this 21 Kilometer long split that separates the Mediterranean sea from the Mar Manor lagoon. it’s become a popular tourist destination lined with hotels and water attractions across the whole spit.
Laguna Salada de Torrevieja
Another interesting place the Alicante is Laguna Salada de Torrevieja and it’s this pink lake right next to the sea the striking reddish pink color is due to algae in those salty waters. Alright so after Alicante we’re going to take a two hour drive north to Valencia. Now being Spain’s third most popular city Valencia is full of culture and history. It’s located on Spain’s Southeastern coast one of the most impressive attractions in Valencia is the city of arts and sciences.
I mean it’s one of the most unique modern architectural structures that I’ve ever seen construction began in 1996 and it was inaugurated nine years later. It was estimated that construction cost almost one billion dollars. So that’s pretty crazy but anyways you can go paddle board on the water or you can go watch a film in the Imax Theater there. I mean the surrounding science museum park is also a beautiful place to walk around and enjoy the beauty of Valencia.
Ibiza
Alright so for my last location we’re going to head over to the wild island of Ibiza. Now Ibiza is known for crazy nightlife in party city. It also has some of the world’s best beaches and cliff jumping. Me and my brother decided to go to Ibiza for Halloween because why not. Anyways we spent the first few days exploring the island and honestly I was pretty disappointed because I couldn’t find any really cool cliff jump spots but on our last day we had just a few hours before our plane was about to take off and we found the secluded cove. We hiked down and made sure the water was deep enough and we found this perfect cliff and I threw some jumps off and then my brother did a wild double backflip off the cliff.
Isla de Es Vedrà
One of my favorite places on Ibiza is this island called Isla de Es Vedrà. It’s this rugged uninhabited island that shoots over 400 meters straight out of the ocean. Now there’s a lot of myths and legends about Es Vedrà and some claim that it’s the third most magnetic place in the world.
I’m not sure if that’s true I just know that it’s one of the most beautiful islands I’ve ever seen. You can rent a boat and go cruise around the island looking for some epic cliff jump spots or just enjoy the beauty of this limestone island. Next time I’m in Ibiza, I’m going to make sure to go check out his Vedrà and see if the myths and legends are true whether you want to go to a visa for cliff jumping or just partying with kygo. It’s one of the most entertaining places to visit.
