On Spain's east coast is a jewel waiting to be found. Most people would avoid making a special visit to a capital city - unless it was some where like New York, Paris or London. But the capital city of the Valencian Community has some hidden delights that can make a holiday memorable. The city of Valencia has everything. From perfect beaches to nearby nature reserves. From atmospheric old-fashioned architecture to dramatic modern masterpieces. Fantastic food and a fascinating history; and a former riverbed that has been landscaped along its entire length through the city centre. Valencia will surprise you!

In Andalucia in Spring, when the warmth is only just beginning, Cordoba is a fantastic place to visit, as it seems to spend the entire time rolling from one fiesta to the other. Firstly, the battle of the flowers, followed by the May crosses, and then... (in 2012) from 2nd to 13th May, the Concurso de Patios, a competition dating back to 1918, where the doors to the inner courtyards of the grand old houses of Cordoba are thrown open for all to enjoy their splendour. Competition is fierce, and nothing is spared in making each patio an incredible display of flowers and imaginative water features.

If you have grown tired of buying 'authentic' souvenirs with 'Made in Peoples Republic of China' on their base.

The Feria de Primavera (Spring Fair) is held each year, approximately two weeks after Easter.

Spain crowned a three-year-old queen, catapulting the land into yet another war between opposing factions. The first Carlist war was won by local militia groups, who were armed by the government of the day. But when it came to handing back the weapons, the militia were reluctant. So, how did the government get them back?

It is a cold and misty morning in the port of A Coruña in Spain’s northwestern province of Galicia. Hands are rubbed together and feet stamped to fight against the cold. The previous day, several trawlers returned from the sea with vast quantities of fish and seafood. During the night, the catch was unloaded, graded according to type, size and quality, and moved to the auction hall (lonja). It is not quite seven o´clock, yet the atmosphere is incredibly hectic

For somewhere different to the Sea, Sand and Sangria, get away from the hustle and bustle and get back to nature by taking a slow boat on the Ebro delta in Tarragona province.

Almost lost in time, (the maintenance of the Alhambra not having been a priority amidst the grinding poverty of Andalucian life during the 17th and 18th centuries), vandalized by subsequent occupants, bombed by the French during the Peninsular War, unsympathetically built over in parts, it is surprising that the famous Moorish fortress has lasted long enough for us to enjoy its splendour.

The Camino del Rey is the perfect place to conquer your fear of heights. It is a one-metre-wide ledge of crumbling concrete panels, supported by rusting steel beams and stanchions, fixed into the sheer rock face of a gorge. There is no handrail. There are gaping holes in the concrete. Oh...and it is up to 350 ft above the valley floor below.
