Top 10 Most Beautiful Small Towns In Spain
Most beautiful small towns in Spain
Spain is recognized for its endless beaches, islands that rival the Caribbean, and city breaks in vibrant cities such as Barcelona, Madrid, and San Sebastian. However, there are approximately 20,000 communities in the nation, each with its architecture, traditions, and culture. These are 10 most beautiful towns, and you should visit them.
1 Llastres, Asturias
Llastres, a traditional fishing town in Spain's Asturias province, is tucked along the rugged Atlantic coast. Llastres, about a 30-minute drive east of Gijon, Asturias' major city, with a population of roughly 1,000 people and a rich fishing culture. You'll get some spectacular panoramic views of the town constructed on the cliffs, with the Sueve Mountains as a background, from the San Roque vantage point. The Palacio de los Vallados and the iconic Clock Tower, constructed on a 15th-century viewing post, are among the ancient buildings in the old town. Because Asturias is a rainy location, the ideal months to visit Llastres are June through September.
2 Frigiliana, Andalusia
Andalusia's countryside is littered with iconic white towns, and Frigiliana is one of the best-kept of them all. The medieval village, located east of Málaga on the edge of a mountain, is a postcard image of Arab architecture.
3 Castellfollit de la Roca, Catalonia
The settlement of Castellfollit de la Roca, located on a small basalt cliff at the foot of the Pyrenees mountain range, is one of the most photographed sites in rural Catalonia. The cliff's unusual shape is the result of thousands of years of erosion by the two nearby rivers, Fluvià and Toronell, on the remnants of cooled volcanic lava. The medieval town is small, having a walking area of less than 1 square kilometer (247 acres). On the small walkways of this eye-catching town, the volcanic-rock residences merge seamlessly with the Renaissance-style buildings.
4 Cadaqués, Catalonia
