Barcelona is a great destination, which often means we tend to stick to it and not necessarily explore beyond the city but what if I told you about some preeeeetty\u00a0cool places that<\/strong> are not too far away?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Get out the map and be ready to go beyond Barcelona. Here are five destinations, brilliant for a short break!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sevilla<\/a><\/h4>\n

\"Beyond-Barcelona-Sevilla\"<\/p>\n

Ahh, Sevilla…where do we start with you? Tapas bars, orange trees, tablao, brilliant architecture. If this sounds like your cup of tea then you, my friend are in for a treat. The capital of\u00a0\u00a0Spain\u2019s Andalusia region is a beautiful destination for a short break (or extended break if time allows). Flamenco dancing is a big thing over there and something that you need to discover during a visit!<\/p>\n

Some of the famous landmarks include the Gothic Seville Cathedral, the Giralda, the\u00a0Plaza de Toros de la Maestranza bullring and the\u00a0Alc\u00e1zar castle complex.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

San Sebastia\u0301n<\/h4>\n

\"Beyond-Barcelona-San-Sebastia\u0301n\"<\/p>\n

The place with hillsides and a beach in one. Both stunning. Known for it’s surfing spots, beauty and the food – San Sebastian is worth a visit. Whether you prefer more of a fancy cuisine or something simple such as the\u00a0pintxos\u00a0(Basque-style tapas) –\u00a0<\/em>San Sebastian shall not let you down.<\/p>\n

Places worth exploring are the\u00a0Ayuntamiento de San Sebasti\u00e1n (city hall), Museo de San Telmo,\u00a0Monte Igueldo,\u00a0La Catedral del Buen Pastor,\u00a0Playa de la Concha and so much more.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Valencia<\/a><\/h4>\n

\"Beyond-Barcelona-Valencia\"<\/p>\n

The third largest city in Spain is another destination worth considering.\u00a0Some call it the beach of Madrid, despite it being a\u00a0four-hour\u00a0drive from Madrid itself. Valencia has a lot to offer, not just the coastline, which is worth a visit as well. Incredible food and thriving nightlife are just the tip of the iceberg. It’s also\u00a0known\u00a0for being a very liveable city.<\/p>\n

Some of the exciting places to explore\u00a0are the futuristic Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias, some museums, the beach (of course), the brilliant old quarter and the market gardens where you can taste some rice dishes such as the\u00a0famous\u00a0paella!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Santiago de Compostela<\/h4>\n

\"Beyond-Barcelona-Santiago-De-Compostella\"<\/p>\n

If you have some more time on your hands, why not try the whats known to be a life-changing\u00a0pilgrimage route. It ends in Santiago de Compostela at the Romanesque-Gothic cathedral. Of course, if you don’t have an extra month for a visit..\u00a0you can head straight to Santiago de Compostela and explore the stunning location on its own.<\/p>\n

The old town will most likely leave you speechless when\u00a0wandering through the arcaded passageways from one beautiful plaza to the next. Stunning!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Granada<\/a><\/h4>\n

\"Beyond-Barcelona-Granada\"<\/p>\n

Of course, Granada had to make it on the list. The land of castles as some may say. It is located in the foothills of the beautiful Sierra Nevada mountains; this city is difficult not to enjoy. Many people choose to visit Granada for\u00a0the famous\u00a0Alhambra<\/a>, a fortress complex which will need a good few hours to explore. You can read more about the castle and what it has to offer in: Why you should be spending a day at Alhambra<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Granada is an exciting mix of Islamic\u00a0architecture, magnificent churches, counterculture graffiti art and\u00a0even old-school tapas. It’s a very interesting place to visit!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Enjoy going Beyond Barcelona! It’s worth it.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
