Other places

In the mountains, Extremadura is a one-of-a-kind place here in Spain where there are no obvious signs of tourism, so the traditional stone houses still remain here. San Sebastian is a destination of luxury for the rich among the Spanish who like to be far away from the crowds. This place is also the epitome of nationalism of the Basque as a result of General Franco banning Euskara, the language of the Basque, back in 1930’s.

The South

The southern province of Aragón, Teruel, has a different atmosphere altogether. It abounds in Moorish- style buildings, grand cathedrals, Moorish history and bell towers from the medieval age influenced by the Islamic Moorish tradition, not to mention its European Gothic structures. Here you simply cannot miss the towers of the Cathedral of Santa Maria, the Torre de San Salvador, the Torre de San Martin, the Church of San Pedro or the Museo Provincial de Teruel. Toledo is world-renowned as the city that has been home to three branches of the Abrahamic religions: Islam, Christianity and Judaism.
