The mountain ruins of Machu Picchu are some of the oldest surviving traces of the ancient Inca civilization. Its construction began in approximately 1400 AD, but it was never finished, because of the Spanish conquest of the empire.

Visiting the site is no easy feat; most trips to the ruins require at least three days of uphill hiking. You can get there quicker on horseback or by purchasing a helicopter ride.

All of the tours to Machu Picchu begin in the town of Cuzco, so that is the place to find information on expeditions. However you choose to get there, this is one place that cannot be overlooked as a travel destination.

The Casa Milá in Barcelona is one of his most majestic creations.  The mansion was created for couple Rosario Segamon and Pere Milá during the early 1900’s, and still stands in its beautiful glory today.

The architectural wonder  is now used as an apartment building to house families, though it is one of the most impressive masterpieces  in all of Barcelona.  If you ever find yourself in the city, you will not want to miss this site!

However, to a more sophisticated traveler, it is not the bullfights and the nightlife that serve as the main attractions. It is the diverse culture, traditional restaurants, and rich history.

Since Spain’s history reaches back to times of the Roman civilization, its culture has been developing for more centuries than exist in the “A.D.” It is almost comical that Americans deem certain sites “historical.”

But on a serious note, even more modern advancements in art and architecture define the Spaniards just as much as the 14th century ones do. More specifically, Spain will always be known as the home of Picasso.

Born in Malaga on the southern peninsula, Pablo Picasso was a childhood prodigy who had his first art exhibit at age 13. By the end of his life, he had completed more than 50,000 paintings, drawings, and sculptures.

One of his most famous works, Guernica, is named for a small city in northern Spain that was bombed by the Germans during the Spanish Civil War. A black and white mural 25.6 feet wide and 11 feet tall, it represents the horrors of war on innocent civilians.

Housed in the Museo Reina Sofia in Madrid, Guernica attracts tens of thousands of visitors every month. Picasso’s ability to portray such deep emotions through his art made him one of the most famous Spanish painters who has ever lived.

So the next time you travel to Spain, consider having a more cultural experience. Witnessing the passion in Picasso’s masterpiece will be truly unforgettable.
