Montserrat
Montserrat is a mountain range near to Barcelona. It is only one hour away from Barcelona with a train. When the weather is very warm in Barcelona, the atmosphere in the mountain is cooler and pleasant. You can take a walk through the mountain and enjoy spectacular views. Montserrat is not only a beautiful landscape, but it is also an important religious place. The Benedict Montserrat Monastery was build in the 11th century and it was renovated in the 19th century. The monastery usually always had around 80 monks, currently having around 70. Besides the religious importance of Montserrat, almost all of Catalonia and on clear days the island of Mallorca can be seen from the top of the mountain.
Granada
Granada is the capital of the province of Granada, which is located in the autonomous community of Andaluisa. It is located in the Sierra Nevada mountain and four rivers pass through it. The spectacular view that is referred to when talking about Granada is from the Alhambra palace. It is a fortress built by the Arabs on the top of the Sierra Nevada mountain. It is one of the best preserved islamic monuments.

Pueblos Blancos
Located in Andalucia, are the magnificent white villages. They are made up of many small buildings all painted in white.

When looked from further away, the villages are said to make you feel like gravity does not exist.
Ronda
Ronda is a city located 105 kilometers away from Malaga. It is popular for the cliff it is located on, as well as the river which splits the city in two. It is declared a National Park.
