Destination
Madrid, the capital of Spain since 1562, is a large yet walkable city filled with monuments and museums. It is a lively city combining past and modern cultures.
Salamanca is 2.5 hours Northwest from Madrid by car or bus. It is a city of stone, sun, and streets for strolling. It has Spain's grandest plaza major for gathering and lingering and its oldest university providing a college town atmosphere.
Seville is the capital and largest city in Andalucia, a region of Southern Spain. Seville is a bustling metropolis set amid ancient Roman, Islamic, and Gothic sites. Think of narrow streets, hidden plazas, flamenco dancing, and bullfighting when you come to Seville to understand another part of Spain.
