diverse countries in the continent of Europe. Its natural beauty and
architectural marvels attract millions of tourists from different parts of the

and this gave it many heritage structures and methods of agriculture. Besides
the cities that are popularly visited by the tourists, there are several others
where you can make your holiday truly memorable. The country also includes the
enchanting Canary and Balearic islands. During your time spent in Spain, you
can have many outdoor activities worth indulging in.

in the late 19th century and continues even today. No tour of Barcelona can be
considered complete without a visit to this amazing cathedral. Although it
opens daily, there are certain restrictions placed on visitors during the times
