As we promised earlier, we will
be exploring some of the most thrilling places in the sunny country. Since it’s
summer that is coming, we decided to head somewhere fun and dynamic!
Madrid
Madrid is situated in the center
of Spain, within the Community of Madrid, and is the economic hub of Spain.
However, Madrid is so much more than just the administrative centre of the
country! It is Spain’s heart and spirit… Oozing exuberance, Madrid is also known
by most tourists as an amazing place for partying and shopping - it boasts one
of the largest number of bars per person, compared to other European cities.
Madrileños are famous for staying up until as late as 5AM-7AM! This makes Madrid
Spain’s wild child, disregarding all ‘rules’.

Another fact we can’t deny is that
Madrid is an astonishingly beautiful city with well-preserved buildings, large
parks, and marvelous plazas tucked between winding cobblestone streets. Madrid has an original tavern, too - the Old
Coal Mine Museum - and in the summer a galore of events are organized in a
theatre formed in the engine house, along with festivals and concerts at the
Historic ballpark. Additionally, there are twenty theatres, contributing to the
cultural vibe of the city, all of which are worth visiting, such as Lara,
Figaro, Cómico, Bellas Artes, Ariequín and Goya. We also have to mention that Spain’s capital
city proudly presents to its visitors and citizens certain contemporary
collections of Dali, Picasso and Miro, which are housed in Reina Sofia National
Art Centre museum, the last of the three must-visit museums in the city. What
adds to the city’s charm is Madrid’s great diversity. This is probably due to
the fact that Madrid is extremely easily accessible by any other European
country. Finally, Madrid is very well known for its exceptionally modernized
and elaborate transportation network of buses and Metro – an important factor
to have in mind when investing in real estate in Spain!
Moving on to…
Valencia
Valencia has become another spot
that has drawn many to invest in property in Spain. Wonderfully mixing art,
culture and science, Valencia has undergone major renovations, turning its
magnificent architecture into a network of museums, apartment buildings, aquariums,
shopping centers, and Imax cinemas. What has really put the spotlight on the
city, though, is the world famous America's Cup 2007, known as the most
significant yachting and sailing event in the world. Having hosted the event,
Valencia has definitely attracted the attention of a good number of tourists
and real estate investors.

The city’s exceptionally distinct
character is determined by the fact that Valencia is an embodiment of many
different cultures – it has gone through the influences of the Romans, the
Arabs, the Catholic Kings, etc. The richness of culture in Valencia and the
monuments of the past (such as The Palace of the Marquee of Dos Aguas) go hand
in hand with the Oceanographic Park, which is a stunning exhibit of the various
stages of marine life; as well as the Hemispheric Planetarium, where through
the use of the most up-to-date equipment with Imax cinemas and laser shows, one
is brought to outer space with the help of powerful pictures and sounds.
Last but not least, we have to mention
Valencia’s serene beaches and picturesque city environment. Most notable is The
Pinedo Beach, which is a more secluded destination for sun lovers. It lightens
up one’s spirit with its golden sand dunes, vegetation, and crystal blue water.
In case you wish to quickly return to
civilization, The Pinedo Beach is brought together to the yacht port with a
seafront promenade, where one can enjoy sailing and surfing.
