Cuenca, Teruel and Albarracin
Closely followed by Galicia which was beautiful, if not a little wet

Mitzy's not around very much these days so I'll answer on his behalf if that's OK.
He uses a technique based on HDR (High Dynamic Range) photography which involves taking a number of photographs (typically 3 or 5) in very quick succession of the same scene at different exposures. The camera must be capable of AEB - Automatic Exposure Bracketing - most good cameras are.
These images are then downloaded and intelligently merged using software such as Photomatix (which I use) which is around £30 from memory.
The prime reason for doing this is to even out exposure across the whole image - i.e. lighten the dark bits and darken the light bits.
The software has further functionality to allow processing of the images to produce the pleasing effects Mitzy achieves.
Hope that helps.

Thanks for asking. I am around, but I lurk :-)
I havent taken an HDR shot for ages, as I tend to try and get the required effect as a one off shot
Of the shots you speak of, only the first shot is HDR iirc, processed as per Jimenatos description. The others are single shots, processed in a CS6 Photoshop package using camera RAW
Here are some of the recent ones Ive done / re done.
