Spain has a lot to offer including pristine beaches, pulsating cities, UNESCO heritage sites, and of course, delicious food!

There are a lot of places to see and activities to experience. It is exciting, but daunting as well, especially if you are traveling alone. 

If you have a lot of time on your hands, why not experience Spain via a road trip?

Rent a car and drive along the coast and visit these amazing must-see destinations:

 

Alcala de Henares – This city stands out because of its rich archaeology, and the first in the world to be designed as a university town, thus home to Alcala University. The impressive architecture and cultural importance granted it its UNESCO site status.

Hanging Houses in Cuenca – Placed on top of the mountains, these ancient buildings were meticulously built on the side of the cliffs. The origins are still unknown and now only a few of the houses remain.

Archaeological Ensemble Of Merida – One of the best preserved Roman architecture to date, the Ensemble of Merida boasts a Roman amphitheater, an impressive bridge, a circus, and dams that still function. 

Royal Monastery of Santa Maria De Guadalupe – Another UNESCO site, this monastery is an outstanding repository of Spanish religious architecture for over four centuries. 

If you really want to get the most out of the Iberian Peninsula, the river cruise is the best way to do it. Cruising along the Douro River will let you see amazing sceneries, wondrous valleys, and majestic waterways. 

Also, if you are planning for enjoyable Jewish trips,  you can also avail some kosher river cruises as well. The best part? The river cruise is all-kosher, from the start of the journey, until the end. You just have to book months before as the river cruises are always fully booked.

Since we already talked about food like kosher, why not focus your travel on food trips? Explore the culture of Spain through its rich gastro-tourism. 

Spain is famous for a lot of things, and for sure Spanish wine and olive oil are one of the top reasons tourists visit this food haven. 

You can go on a wine tour and taste exquisite fine wine from famous wineries! It is not all about wine tasting, too. You will also learn the different varieties of grapes and how they produce the wines as well. 

Olive Oil Tour is almost the same with a wine tour. Head over to beautiful Andalusian countryside, walk among majestic olive trees and get to taste the freshest extra virgin olive oil. Also, learn more about olive oil and taste amazing food at the end of the program. 

Some tours offer exclusive viewing and tasting of the highest wine and olive oil, so you might want to check out the itinerary first before choosing the tour.
