If you have answered affirmatively to any of these questions, then you should be very attentive to what we are telling you today, especially if you want to know Spain , which has nothing to envy other countries on the planet when it comes to tourism.
What we want to do at Vuela Viajes today is show you the Spanish destinations in fashion this 2016. To do this, we are going to base ourselves on the list that the Repsol Guide has drawn up, which we think is the most complete, since many of the autonomous communities of our country are represented. Would you like to discover which are the essential destinations for 2016 according to the Repsol Guide ? Well, very attentive!
Alcala de Henares
The first destination that the Repsol Guide offers us is Alcalá de Henares, the city that gave birth to Miguel de Cervantes , one of our most illustrious writers. And it is that this year the IV Centenary of the death of the author is commemorated.
Santiago de Compostela
Another essential destination is Santiago de Compostela, which, on the occasion of the Jubilee Year of Mercy , which is celebrated this year, opens the Holy Door of the Cathedral, an access that was built at the beginning of the 17th century and is only opened in the years in those that the day of Santiago Apóstol falls on Sunday.
Toledo
From Galicia we moved to Castilla-La Mancha to talk about Toledo, Spanish Capital of Gastronomy 2016, which means that in the coming months the bars and restaurants of the city will show why they have obtained this title. In addition, during this year Toledo will organize different activities related to the world of gastronomy.
Donostia-San Sebastian
The Repsol Guide also recommends Donostia-San Sebastián, which this year holds the title of European Capital of Culture. Thus, during 2016 you will be able to enjoy in the city numerous musical performances , exhibitions, debates, plays, conferences …
