to the present. In Seville one can find the Alcazar palace,

Cruz quarter with narrow streets and whitewashed houses, as
well as the Plaza de España, the lovely park in the center
of town. With so many churches, monuments and museums the
holiday maker can only take a glimpse at the rich history
and culture of this unique city.
The
region of Costa del Sol, located on Spain's southern coast,
is home to extravagant beach resorts, quaint country
villages, ancient monuments and rolling farmland. One of
Spain's most treasured regions, people flock here for the
warm sun, long beaches and old-world charm. Whether relaxing
by the water, exploring ancient ruins or dancing the night
away, Costa del Sol makes all her visitors feel alive.

Cathedral Quarter. With an air of mystery and romance,

Founded
by the Romans, Cordoba became the capital of Moorish Spain
and was later ruled by Christian kings. During the Middle
Ages it was one of the most important cities in all of
Europe. Today you can still see the Great Mosque and
Cathedral, the Alcazar Castle and the Palace. And after a
day of sightseeing, you can stroll down the narrow streets
of the medieval Jewish Quarter or enjoy a Flamenco dinner
show. Cordoba offers a great deal of enchantment to its
visitors.
