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.
