Default Name 5 must sees in Spain

Here's my five:

The Alhambra, Granada

La Sagrada Familia, Barcelona

The aqueduct at Segovia

The hanging houses at Cuenca

The cathedral at Toledo

I was going to put the cathedral at Santiago, but I've not been there yet

What's your 5?

oooh must go to Cuenca to see that!
Definitely the Alhambra for me plus a couple of others spring to mind that may not be on everyone's top 5 hit list but which I thought were fab:
Murcia's Casino
Madrid's Basilica de San Francisco El Grande

How about an alternative list...............

2.. Ordesa
3.. Cabo de Gato (reportedly the driest place in Europe)
4.. Mar Menor (one of the richest fishing grounds in the world, and no deeper than 7 meters at any point )
5.. Doñana National Park ( one of the most unique habitats on the planet! Also one of the first National parks to be officially founded in Europe)

I showed you my little 800 bed place a while ago, I might have to take a few ground floor rooms out to make way for the station. HERE
