Spain is full of beautiful, Extremely  places. So many, in fact, that it may actually be difficult to decide where to go! Now you don’t have to. Instead, just follow this list of the 5 most stunning spots in Spain you shouldn’t miss. 

Sagrada Família, Barcelona

While the entire city of Barcelona is gorgeous in itself, the unfinished masterpiece by Antoni Gaudí, the Sagrada Família church, is simply mindblowing. Together with several other Gaudí buildings in Barcelona, the church has UNESCO World Heritage status. Construction of the famous building dates back to 1882, and although Gaudí died in 1926, construction still continues today. Projections say the Sagrada Família should be complete in 2026, and will include 18 spires. Once the building is complete, it will most likely be the tallest church in the world. Despite its status as a construction site, visitors can still enjoy the inside and outside of the church, as well as go up in one of the skinny spires for epic views of Barcelona.

The Guggenheim, Bilbao

Designed by world famous architect Frank Gehry, the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao has one of the most unique designs in the world. The exterior, which is covered with giant sheets of glass and titanium, is waved and curved to catch the sunlight. This modern art museum was built in 1997, and its permanent collection includes work by Rothko, Richard Serra, Basquiat, Anselm Kiefer, Louise Bourgeois and Jeff Koons. Located on the banks of the Nervión river, capturing the museum’s spectacular architectural design from different angles is almost as much fun as seeing the art inside of it.

Aqueduct, Segovia

One of the most well-preserved in the world, Segovia’s enormous Roman aqueduct dates back to the first century. The massive stone structure spans about nine miles before it reaches the city center. The city portion has 167 arches, some double and some single. The aqueduct, combined with the cathedral and fairytale-like castle make Segovia ideal for a day trip from Madrid.Image Source: Google

Plaza Mayor, Madrid

Walking into the Plaza Mayor is one of those magnificent moments that will have you staring in awe at the 237 balconies facing the square’s center, complete with a statue of Felipe III on his horse. Enjoy a delicious—albeit, overpriced, but who cares because the plaza is just so gorgeous—cold beer on one of the many terraces as you admire this 17th century plaza that was once the site of bullfights, public executions, trials during the Spanish Inquisition and crowning ceremonies.Image Source: Google

El Tajo Gorge, Ronda

Ronda is one of Spain’s oldest towns, dating back to the 9th century BC. Not only is this mountaintop village quaint and picturesque, the gorge that splits Ronda is simply magnificent. Each angle of the gorge looks different—perfect for budding photographers hoping to get that amazing shot. You can even cross the gorge by walking over the Puente Nuevo bridge.

Insider tip: Once you’ve snapped the gorge from every direction possible, head into town to eat some rabo del toro (oxtail), Ronda’s speciality.Image Source: google
