Anything in the Pa&iacute;s Vasco, especially San Sebasti&aacute;n, all of Galicia, especially the r&iacute;as along the coast, all of the big AND small museums in Madrid(check the Lope de Vega House and the Pante&oacute;n for marvelous Goya artwork).<BR>C&aacute;ceres is delightful in any season that isn't summer.

Since I'll be going to Spain this fall I would like to here from more comments on Spain. I will be probably just in Madrid and Andalucia (sp?). This needs a title in the text so I would like to hear the 100 best list for Spain. Thanks everyone.

Discovering that the "Garden of Earthly Delights" at the Prado has a painting on the reverse side and the whole thing closes up!<BR><BR>Oooh, and, again the Prado, getting my kid to look at the paintings by having him look for dogs in the paintings -- then discovering in the museum shop they had a great t-shirt entitled something like Los Peros del Prado (yeah, we bought him one).<BR><BR>Finally (still on the Prado!), check out the painting by Diego Velazquez de Silva entitled "San Antonio Abad Y San Pablo", which could be retitled as "Praying for a Big Mac".<BR><BR>The Parque de Retiro in Madrid is pretty stunning too on a warm day.<BR><BR>Aside from all the Gaudi in Barcelona, which is great, we loved the Picasso Museum.

Paula May 27th, 2002 07:15 PM

Servilla...especially flameco at Los Gallos, Plaza de Espana, and getting lost in the barrio de Santa Cruz...Barcelona...all the Gaudi and moderniste architects, especally Casa Mila and Parc Guell, the Fundacio Joan Miro with the great view at sunset (open late on Thur.), the restuarant La Dolca Herminia at Magdalenes 27--2 blocks towards Ramblas from Palais de la Musica...Hostal del Carnidal at Toledo and the village itself...the old town of Marbella...the Nerja caves...Alhambra (make sure to get tickets on the Internet in advance) The great and inepensive wines.<BR>I loved Spain so much that I plan to learn Spanish.<BR>Have a great trip, <BR>Paula
