Madrid - Prado, bus/walk up the Castellana from the Prado, Royal palace, Plaza Mayor and Plaza Santa Ana area at night. El Escorial - fabulous monastery, resting place of Spanish kings/queens and princes - Franco,s Cathedral to Fascism is a short bus ride away - amazing and awful at the same time. Segovia (Alcazar, Roman Aqueduct and the Cathedral)food - judiones and suckling pig - great night life. Salamanca - older Uni than Oxford and Cambridge and great night life, too. Toledo - 3 cultures in one city. Ronda - beautfiul town with an old bullring and museum - contrary to popular belief it's not quite the oldest one in Spain. Seville. Granada. If you're going to travel around a bit, why not saty in a parador - they have great offers.<BR><BR>Good luck<BR><BR>Alun
