There are so many places to see in Spain that it is certainly difficult for a tourist to plan his itinerary properly. Some of the places which you should not miss in your tour of Spain are mentioned here.
Merida:
Just very near to Madrid, it is easily accessible by bus and train. Needless to say, it is beautifully connected by roads too. Merida is one of the most important historic places. Perhaps it is one of the few places where the historic buildings of the former Roman Empire are still preserved. The famous amphitheatre believed to have been built by the Romans is still preserved. It is not just one or two; there are many constructions like the Roman Bridge which belonged to the Roman period. Certainly the tourist will be left speechless with these imposing sights. Tourists, please be prepared to spare at least two days for a tour of Merida because that gives you time to go through all the places of importance in Merida. If you are planning the visit in July or August then please make it for three days, because during these two months you can watch the Greek dances and dramas that will be performed in the amphitheatre. Of course you don’t have to worry about stay and food; there are enough luxurious hotels and res
taurants which will suit the budget of every tourist. The restaurants serve the local specialties.
Ronda:
This place is just about three hours’ journey from Seville. There are good roads and this place is not connected by train. Ronda is close to the town of Andalusia. When in Ronda do not forget to visit Pueblo Blanco, a bridge across a very deep ravine. This place is believed to be where the sport of bullfighting started. This is believed to have been started by the third generation of the Romero family. This family conducts bull fighting during the month of September. There are three great bridges worthy to be seen. These bridges are believed to have been rebuilt centuries ago. Half an hour away from Ronda, you will be amazed by the cave called Cueva de Pileta which is believed to be about 25000 years old. The cave has many beautiful paintings on its walls. Normally, this is treated as a one-day trip. But the fact is that most of the tourists stay for one more day because the place is so beautiful. Here also there are many villas and restaurants to make the visitor feel at home.

Places of interest for tourists in Spain – Formentera
Just hire a boat or take the public ferry service and in about one hour south from Ibiza, you will reach a small island called Formentera. Actually this is an archipelago and Formentera is a part of the Balearic Islands. This is located at the remote corner and the ferry is the only means of travel available. This is one of the unspoiled islands of Spain. This is considered one of the precious jewels of Mediterranean Sea. The entire island of Formentera covers an area of about 85 sq. kms. The island has maintained its natural beauty; the government has not allowed any industry in this island, except for salt mining.
Brief history:
It has a history of about 4000 years starting with the Greeks to the Romans and finally the Moors. The king of Aragon, Jaime I, took control of the island in 1235. Unfortunately the island was frequently attacked by pirates. However, this menace was completely eradicated by the stern action of the Government of Spain. Presently, the island has a population of about 7,500 inhabitants based on the 2002 census.
Places of visit:
Interestingly this remote island also has many places to visit. The fortified church is one of the most interesting places on the island. This church is believed to have been built in 1729. The place where the church is located is now called the Plaza Principal or Principal Square. This most imposing church with sea around and vast beach is certainly a pleasure to look at.

Important places of visit in Spain
Spain is one of the countries having so much to give to tourists. Spectacular natural beauty, beautiful coves, long beach, traditional buildings, churches, castles, etc. A feather in the cap; it also has beautiful and luxurious villas to suit all sections of the visitors. Some of the most fascinating caves in Spain are mentioned here:
The Altamira Cave:
This Cave is located in the north of Spain and about 30 kms to the west of Santander in the city of Santillana del Mar. The unique feature of this cave is its location. The cave is located on the ceiling. Wide space is provided for entrance measuring about 18 X 9 meters. About 30 meters from the entrance is the main hall. It also has many rooms, passages, etc. Another fascinating fact about this Cave is that all the accommodation in it is ‘S’ shaped. Archeological experts are of the opinion that this Cave has about 15000 years of history dating to the Magdalenian period. Most beautiful paintings of animals like wild boar, horse, bison, etc. are on the wall. The painter has used the unevenness of the walls to give a real effect to the paintings. Eight Anthropomorphic pictures have also been engraved in the Cave. The painting is so fresh that experts, only after extensive scientific studies accepted that these are old paintings presumably belonging to the Magdalenian period. For the convenience of the tourist, the cave is now provided with electric power lighting. The cave is such a great treasure that now entry is restricted to 160 visitors per week. This is because of the experts’ opinion that CO2 breathed out by the visitors in the Cave may damage the paintings. As an alternative, a replica of the cave was created which was recently inaugurated.
Caves of Drach:
This is located in the city of Mallorca, Spain. The cave measures a total length of more than one mile. Walking through the Cave, the tourist will be fascinated by the impressive rock and limestone formations. At many places the rock formations touch the ceiling. The Cave is divided into 12 segments and there are other chambers as well. The cave was explored in 1896. At the farther end of the Cave, a huge underground lake exists. To fascinate the tourists, musicians give a live concert on a boat sailing across the lake. A place has been provided inside the Cave where tourists can relax for a while. Conducted tours are held and the cave can be reached by bus also.
