SAN JUAN

The La Concha Hotel opened in 1958 and is considered one of the foremost examples of Caribbean Modernism. Designed by the architectural firm Torres and Ferrer, the resort incorporated tropical climate features such as cross-ventilation, natural illumination, open lobbies and seamless transitions between inside and outside spaces, with details relevant to Island traditions: an interior patio, blinds, a mirador encompassing both the sea and the city and the use of water throughout. The protective diamond pattern concrete element in the façade is an architectural element used by famed architect Le Corbusier.

The facility gets its name from the signature seashell-shaped floating restaurant designed by internationally renowned architect Mario Salvatori. It has been hailed as a marvel of engineering and is considered an architectural treasure. The facility initially accommodated about 245 rooms, a pool deck, a large lobby, and a ballroom. The facility went through several owners and renovations and was eventually combined with the Vanderbilt Hotel to become the Condado Trio. It eventually fell into government hands and was closed in 1995.

Spain is a beautiful country. For many centuries, culture and art developed in it, many cities became real cultural centers. Every year, hundreds of thousands of tourists from all over the world seek to visit Spain. The country was formed under the influence of such religions as Islam, Christianity and Judaism, which made its cultural heritage inexhaustibly rich. The works of Spanish artists, sculptors and architects are known all over the world. Of course, there are many beautiful cities in Spain. We note the most picturesque of them:

Everyone who loves jazz goes to San Sebastian. It is at this resort that the annual Jazzaldia Jazz Festival takes place. For five days, eminent jazzmen perform in many cafes and restaurants. Approximately one hundred concerts in just five days is a real gift for a music lover. Performances are held outdoors, and many of them are free.

San Sebastian is also known for its international film festival, first held in 1953. This event attracts many filmmakers from Europe and other countries. Almost all the bohemia of Spain wants to visit this film festival, so tickets are bought up long before it starts.

One cannot fail to mention the excellent beaches of San Sebastian. One of the most popular is La Concha. It is so popular that it has earned the status of the most beautiful city beach in the country among the inhabitants of all Spain.

Toledo – a city of historical heritage

Toledo became famous as a city of artists – Garcilaso de la Vega and El Greco worked here. The historic part of Toledo is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. Here you can contemplate the Cathedral of St. Mary, the construction of which was completed in the 15th century. Even the ruins of the amphitheater will make an impression on the tourist, to say nothing of the fortress, striking in its monumentality.

The historical center has absorbed several churches and museums, the monastery of St. Ursula, which is a prominent representative of the Mudéjar style. The city itself gives the impression of a huge fortification. It is sure to appeal to all fans of chivalry.

Santander – the city of beaches and parks

Many people in Spain dream of visiting La Magdalena. Many Spanish kings loved to rest here. In Santander there is a royal palace, around which there is a beautiful park. Not many tourists visit this place, so in the park you can enjoy the beauties in relative tranquility. Here you can see the royal stables, where horses of royal breeds are kept.

The city has the Picio Gardens, a picturesque park with flowers that are magnificent in every way.
There are sights in the city that are of interest primarily to lovers of religious architecture. Those who admire church architecture will be impressed by the Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Santander Cathedral.

Salamanca – the splendor of cathedrals and universities

Salamanca has become a famous city thanks to the university, which is one of the oldest in Europe. It was founded in 1254, which gave Salamanca the status of a city of high educational value. There are many universities here, whose buildings are featured in famous guidebooks and travel magazines. In terms of importance, the city is equated with such educational centers as Oxford and Bologna. It was here that the famous professor Francisco de Vitoria, who is one of the founders of international law, taught.

Salamanca is home to the Casa Lis Museum, which is considered one of the best examples of Art Nouveau. The Plaza Mayor will make an incredible impression on the tourist. When the hours of darkness come and the building begins to be illuminated by hundreds of lanterns, it appears in all its splendor and remains in memory forever. Salamanca concentrates many cathedrals, churches, it houses a Dominican monastery and other objects that have made the old city part of the World Heritage List.

Zaragoza – city of libraries

Zaragoza is famous for its libraries. The city has 24 public libraries, the municipal archive and the library of Aragon. Here is a university that can delight everyone with its library. Students who come to it often note the unique atmosphere. This is a true paradise for book lovers.

Zaragoza is famous for its holidays, including Holy Week. It attracts people from all over the country, and all because the whole week in Zaragoza held bright processions and parades.

Mother of God Pilar is called the patroness of the city. An amusing legend is associated with it, which says that the Virgin Mary herself came to the Apostle James during the baptism of the first Christians. A majestic baroque temple was built in her honor and a festival is held every year.
If you love the theatre, then Zaragoza is just the place for you. There are several theaters in the city, each of which is worth a visit. And you can go to the Arbole Theater with children – everything here is exclusively for them, the children’s repertoire deserves applause from both children and adults.

Cordoba – the pearl of Andalusia

Festivals are held in Cordoba, bright holidays are held, masterpieces of Moorish architecture are built here and the famous Alcazar is located. There are many buildings of historical significance, mainly built by the Moors.

The city is distinguished by several features:

The Alcazar is such an interesting and large complex that it would take a whole day just to see it. It will impress all admirers of military architecture and will help you plunge into the time of the Reconquista. The total area with towers is more than 4000 sq. meters. To decorate the stones, a special carving technique was used, combining the Gothic style and embodying the struggle against the Arab invaders. The Alcazar itself is a challenge and a symbol of retribution against the Arabs;
In contrast to the Alcazar, Cordoba has Mesquita. This is a bright representative of Moorish architecture, and it was originally built as a Visigothic church. There were a number of changes associated with the Arab conquests. As a result, the Mesquita became a mosque, and after the conquest of the city by Ferdinand III, it regained its former status;
There is also a Synagogue in Cordoba, which turned out to be untouched, so its appearance remains original to this day. The synagogue has a historical significance proven by the architect Rafael Romero Barros. The synagogue building stands out with an interesting Mudéjar ornament.

Barcelona – a masterpiece of Spain

Everything from the Gothic quarter to the Sagrada Familia is worthy of attention. Barcelona has many corners and quarters that can awaken the imagination, so writers and artists come here for inspiration. It makes you want to make a film in the Gothic quarter, it seems especially exciting at nightfall. The quarter alone is home to several squares, the ruins of Octavian’s palace, a Gothic church and the superbly preserved Cathedral of the Holy Cross. Everyone who comes to Barcelona should definitely visit the Labyrinth of Horta.

It combines neoclassical and romantic styles. The “Labyrinth of Horta” is considered not only beautiful, but legendary. It was here that an episode of the film “Perfumer” was filmed, it was here that the kings came to relax. Here, romantics run from each other, hiding behind hedges, and lovers stand in the center of the labyrinth for a long time, so that later they can find each other by voice. The “Labyrinth of Horta” was created specifically for games and fun, which is why it is so loved by the people of Barcelona and all of Spain. It is impossible to list all the advantages and beauty of the city. Barcelona itself is one solid attraction of Spain.

Madrid – the epitome of beauty

You can talk about Madrid for hours. Only one Plaza Mayor collects millions of tourists. Bright performances are held on it, hundreds of guests of the Spanish capital are photographed every day, and at night it turns into a masterpiece of illumination. Another square, Puerto del Sol, attracts no less than the main square. It has a unique elliptical shape. Madrid as a whole delights with its squares and boulevards, fountains and the royal palace. Everywhere you go in Madrid, you will stumble upon magnificent buildings that have been built for centuries. Among the places of worship one can note the monastery and the cathedral of Almudena. For those who want to retire, there is the Buen Retiro Park. It is not without reason that it is called a great place for solitude, because Buen Retiro literally means “beautiful solitude.” Citizens love to relax in the park and enjoy the beautiful views, contemplate the palace of the residence of the Habsburgs.

It is important to note the contribution of modern architects to the appearance of Madrid. There are several skyscrapers in the AZCA area that are of amazing beauty: as soon as it starts to get dark outside, bright lights come on. Skyscrapers shine with all the colors of the rainbow, spectacularly decorating the streets of AZCA.

Granada – the city of three eras

Granada’s architecture became popular thanks to the Gothic, Renaissance and Moorish influences. There are many workshops with unique works and original artisans. Handicraft workshops where guitars are made are very popular. Many tourists sincerely admire Granada for its excellent ski resort, nature and appearance of buildings.

The famous architectural and park ensemble of the Alhambra has become adored by many Spaniards due to the unique Moorish style. Looking at it, you can imagine yourself as a guest in the residence of the Sultan. The list of cultural heritage also included Albayzin, a residential area entirely built up with buildings in the Moorish style.

Seville is a real dream for a tourist

You can visit many cities in Spain, but you should definitely go to Seville. This city captivates at first sight with such sights as the Cathedral of St. Mary and the Giralda bell tower. Despite the fact that all tourists in Europe tend to get to Seville, everyone can enjoy its beauties. Photographers, writers, artists and journalists – people of all professions and classes come to Seville for the labyrinths of ancient streets, the splendor of squares, the epic of cathedrals and, of course, Moorish buildings.

The most significant construction of the Moors is the palace-fortress Alcazar. It does not seem as grandiose as the Alhambra, which is located in Granada, but the luxury and atmosphere of comfort created here will captivate forever. To enjoy all the beauties of the city, many people stay in Seville for at least a week. What is Pilate’s house worth, combining Mudéjar and Spanish Renaissance.

However, Seville is not only famous for its architectural sights. Stunning and spectacular carnivals are held here. If you have ever seen a flamenco dance, here you will see hundreds of dancers walking along the street and performing incendiary, passionate and enchanting dances. This is precisely the main feature of Seville. People, that’s what attracts tourists from all over the world. Such energy and aura cannot be found in any other city. It is believed that it was thanks to Seville that flamenco dance became popular not only in Andalusia, but throughout the globe.

It is impossible to describe the beauty of Spanish cities briefly. People dedicate films to them, write books about them and tell stories. Most of those who have visited Spain fall in love with its cities to unconsciousness.
