Where to walk in Spain

  • Barcelona (3 tours): Gaudí's serpentine towers rising over Eixample's grid, Mediterranean light off the Barceloneta jetty, vermouth at every bar before noon, two thousand years of city walls visible from a single rooftop. Roman colony, medieval Mediterranean port, modernist laboratory, Catalan capital.
  • Granada (3 tours): The Alhambra glowing red against the Sierra Nevada at dusk, the Albaicín's whitewashed lanes climbing toward it, free tapas with every glass in the bars below, two religions arguing in the same fountain. The last Moorish kingdom in Iberia, surrendered in 1492. The year that ended one history and started another.
  • Madrid (3 tours): Velázquez and Goya across one museum mile, croquetas in every neighborhood bar, ten o'clock dinners and three a.m. plazas, the geometric centre of a peninsula. The Habsburg capital that became a Bourbon capital, then a literary capital, then a nightlife capital, and never stopped being all four.
  • Seville (3 tours): Orange-tree courtyards behind tiled façades, the Giralda casting a Moorish shadow over a Gothic cathedral, flamenco palmas drifting from Triana taverns, the Guadalquivir flowing past where the Americas first paid the city back. Roman city, Moorish capital, sole port of the Spanish Americas.
