Spain

Spain pictures. Spain has almost everything: an incredible variety of beautiful cities, villages and nature, good food and great weather. This gallery contains pictures from old Barcelona (including Antoni Gaudí's surreal creations), the streets of royal Madrid, incredibly colorful and atmospheric Seville (for many the archetype of Spain), Moorish Granada, chaotic Algeciras, sleepy Cordoba and the delightful village of Bobadilla (in the middle of nowhere).
