Cities in 48 hours
Two days are enough to discover the best of a city. We want to guide you step by step through these great cities so that you only have to worry about enjoying the views and savouring the best food. Don't miss a detail with our 48 hour city guides. You'll need more than one!
1 ALICANTE
Alicante is a city that opens onto the sea. In the shelter of the Benacantil, the large hill from which it takes its name, tourist and leisure activities have multiplied there in recent years. This growth is not unconnected to the renovation of the nearby international El Altet airport.
It is said that whoever drinks water from the Canaletas Fountain, situated at the bottom of the Ramblas, is "condemned" to return to Barcelona. And the fact is that anyone who pays a 48 hour visit to the city will have to come back at some point. In two days it is impossible to cover the whole city, although in that time it is possible to see and experience enough to make it a place you will never forget.
3 BILBAO
Bilbao has known how to leave behind a grey, dull past marked by the industrial crisis, to become a modern city. Its commitment to creativity and innovation has earned it well-deserved fame over the last few years, putting it on the international map.
4 BURGOS
Located on the banks of the Arlanzón river, Burgos welcomes us as a "city of cities," waiting to show us its monumental and artistic legacy, its uniquely flavoured squares and alleys, its wide promenades and gardens. This valuable artistic and cultural heritage has shaped a city full of excitement and life.
5 CORDOBA
Losing yourself in its corners is like going back in time and crossing the bridge between east and west. In addition to its famous tourist attractions, the city simply invites you to wander through its streets and experience its collection of whitewashed houses, covered in flowers and plants.
6 CUENCA
Located between two rivers, the Júcar and the Huécar, Cuenca is an oddness in itself. People say that this city is balanced harmoniously between nature and city life. It is a place that seems to break the rules within a very small area and that is only deeply understood on foot.
7 GRANADA
Granada is not just about sights - its about using all the senses and giving free reign to all your emotions. Granada is a city to be lived and breathed, savouring its unique flavours and getting to know its passionate and welcoming residents. A guide to discovering the 48 hours that will keep your senses alive.
8 LEON
Leon has an enviable historical past. However, it recent years it has been transformed, giving the city a more modern edge. This decisive step has strengthened the soul of the city, which offers visitors such wonders as the cathedral, the Royal Collegiate Church of San Isidoro, the San Marcos Hostel and the unique atmosphere of the Barrio Húmedo (Wet District).
9 LISBON
Having inherited a glorious past, Lisbon floods us with traditions and culture from all four sides. The old-fashioned atmosphere of its streets and trams will awaken your senses the moment you start to discover it. Yet, if you take a few more steps, you will come across another city: the modern, avant-garde city of the Expo. Lisbon gives you the chance to visit two cities in one.
10 LOGROÑO
Logroño is located on the banks of the river Ebro; it is surrounded by vineyards where the world famous Rioja wine is produced. It is a city that has managed to adapt over time and become a modern city, a wayside resting place for pilgrims which has an undeniable charm for lovers of good food and drink.
11 MADRID
Cosmopolitan, vibrant, historical, fun, traditional, modern; Madrid is all this and much, much more. That is why it continues to be a must-visit destination for any seasoned traveller. Forty-eight hours might not be enough to get to know the city really well, but they are just enough to serve as a taster and give you food for thought for the next time you visit.
12 MALAGA
Malaga has always been a city open to cultures and civilisations, and due to this has earned the well-deserved fame of an open, tolerant and cosmopolitan city that it is today. Take 48 hours to discover the marks of that historical past and enjoy its vibrant present, by strolling and mingling with its people.
13 OVIEDO
"Oviedo is delicious, exotic, beautiful, clean, pleasant, peaceful, and kind to pedestrians." These are the words of the American director Woody Allen. What more can we add? Only the truth: Oviedo is a city which improves with age. Its commitment to culture and hospitality do justice to its nickname, the capital of paradise. Asturias, of course.
14 PAMPLONA
World famous for the San Fermin festival, Pamplona has much more to offer. Surrounded by walls and guarded by towers and belfries, the old quarter is a medieval city with narrow streets, squares, churches and palaces. These corners full of history live alongside the services of a welcoming, comfortable city surrounded by vast parks and paths.
15 SALAMANCA
Salamanca is like a huge, impeccable film set with all the details. However, its historical monuments are lived and enjoyed by its inhabitants all day long. A city that knows how to preserve its magnificent past and which likes to look ahead, encouraged by its “stimulating” university population, which keeps it young and dynamic.
The spirit of the Belle Époque is sill alive in San Sebastian's elegant streets, but the city has not rested on its laurels - it has shown itself to be modern and capable of reinventing itself. We have 48 hours ahead of us to discover the charms of the pearl of Cantabria.
17 SANTANDER
Santiago is a welcoming city, both due to its history and its character. Open to the world but true to its traditions, it welcomes pilgrims as well as students. And of course, all tourists who want to enjoy its historical heritage, its rich gastronomy, and, why not, its university and carefree atmosphere when the sun goes down.
19 SEGOVIA
20 SEVILLE
Scratch the surface and you will find that Seville is a city of tradition and emotion. This is a magical city which dances to the tune of music and merriment, laughter and passion, but is also respectful of its traditions and religious fervour. Seville vibrates with its very own personality and enamours at first sight. And, its climate lures visitors during the off-season too.
21 TOLEDO
There is probably no other Spanish city with so much history or such an important cultural legacy as Toledo. Here you can relive the history of a city and be transported in time as you roam its streets and contemplate its treasures. Forget about the car. The city of three cultures, small and full of monuments, awaits you.
22 VALENCIA
Valencia today is a symbol of change. The city has managed to leap towards modernity, without betraying its roots, while becoming one of the most sought after tourist destinations. The top-class design and cultural attractions are on a par with the sunshine, the sea and the traditionally good food.
23 VALLADOLID
José Zorrilla, Miguel de Cervantes and Miguel Delibes are a few of the great Spanish writers who have left their mark on Valladolid, or perhaps it is the city which left its mark on them. Valladolid is a cosmopolitan and lively town which was once the capital of Spain. Today, it still lives up to its reputation as a city that welcomes visitors.
24 ZAMORA
On the banks of the Duero River and beyond tourist slogans, Zamora is a modern city (it is no coincidence that it was the first city in the world to have wi-fi) that is deeply rooted in its past. Its location at the crossroads of the Ruta de la Plata and the Camino Portugués, as well as its famous Holy Week, verify the importance of this city.
