1. Mezquita Cathedral de Cordoba

5.0 based on 28,159 reviews
Roman Catholic church that was once a mosque. Blending many architectural styles, the structure evolved over the centuries.
Reviewed By FESTEE
I suspect I’m in a curmudgeonly minority for whom the many fellow tourists apparently more concerned to photograph their visit (and of course themselves) than to feel anything while they’re there detract from the experience, so I’ll move on to the Mezquita Cathedral of Córdoba itself: it is genuinely awe-inspiring. The atmosphere and beauty of the place, the record-in-stone of historical events, artisanal craft, religious devotion, riches and power are worthy of buying a postcard or book to record the place, leaving you free to be, well, moved (or even, if you like, well-moved;).

The second most visited site in Europe: this breathtaking palace-city is a sophisticated blend of medieval Islamic, Renaissance Christian and modern architectural styles..
Reviewed By 381lianem
A wonderful experience, palaces, wonderful gardens, etc etc. take time to explore, best on your own ... book online the general day pass on the official Alhambra site (well in advance/months before you plan to go, as they are sold out fast) and take the time to enjoy the vast „Alhambra sight in the different day lights. Take Buslinie C32 and C 31 to get to the main entrance of the Alhambra ( Tickets 1,40€/person, available on the bus), it is quite a steep walk from the city center...

Beautiful medieval Islamic palace showcasing a unique fusion of Spanish Christian and Moorish architecture.

A must visit if you're in Seville! (Side note: also where they filmed Dorne in Game of Thrones, which is a huge thing!) See the stunning architecture from Muslim to Christian influences and spend an hour just reflecting in one of the most gorgeous botanical gardens I've ever seen.
5. Marbella Old Town

4.5 based on 5,392 reviews
This old neighborhood is full of romance, with narrow, winding cobblestone streets: great for evening strolls.
Reviewed By Hermes_NL - Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Marbella is not just a glitzy beach town but also an highly historic city dating back to the times of the Moors. The old town is choc full of character with the old fortifications, narrow streets, colorful churches, little chapels, lively squares, and of course many restaurants and shops. Very much worthwhile to go to essentially every day during your Marbella stay.
6. Alcazaba

4.5 based on 10,852 reviews
Built between 1057 and 1063, this is probably the most important military fortification remaining from the Hispanic-Arabic period.
Reviewed By Fussybut - London, United Kingdom
This Moorish castle in the centre of Malaga is a must see for any visitor - not only offering unparalleled views over the port, cathedral, park and city but stretching over to the mountains behind. Breathtaking rooms and decoration, the usual fantastic Mozarabic flowing water features complement the week preserved and restored structures - what an elegant and massive fortress. There’s a nice little bar half way up the route and best of all it costs little more than £2 less for concessions.

Watch tower from the eighteenth century, situated in the down town and the highest point of the city, turned today into a focal point of cultural interest. The tower has two exhibition halls, the Camera Obscura and the terrace from which you can enjoy wonderful views of CádizIts Cámara Obscura was the first one installed in Spain.

Great panoramic views of Cádiz, totally worth the climb. The camera oscura is also great. Marta was really really nice.
9. Fundacion Real Escuela Andaluza del Arte Ecuestre
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 2,010 reviews
The Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art Foundation, in Jerez de la Frontera, is famous all over the world for its show called "How the Andalusian Horses Dance", a unique exhibition of horsemanship which both exhibits and summarises the work which the institution has carried out since its establishment. Although the show "How the Andalusian Horses Dance" may be considered the highest attainment of the School's work, there are other aspects which are regarded as equally, or even more important, for the Institution. Among these, we would like to highlight its role as a social and cultural vehicle for our equestrian heritage, the selection and promotion of horses, the training of Haute Ecole riders, the preservation and promotion of Classical and Country Dressage (Doma Vaquera), maintaining the prestige of our horsemanship, the breed of our Spanish horses, our traditions and culture. Furthermore, the show enables the Royal School to play host for the Province of Cadiz and to act as ambassadors abroad on annual tours to various foreign countries. In addition to the show, you might enjoy a visit to our training facilities as well as the Museum of Equestrian Art and the Carriage Museum.

A wonderful visit to see the horses in training, the palace lived in by the Sandeman family, the carriage museum and stables and best of all, the show - 'How the Andalusian Horses Dance'.
10. La Rabida Monastery

4.5 based on 836 reviews
Reviewed By Aleph_999 - Salamanca, Spain
This monastery for sure deserves a visit for two main reasons: - History: the nice audioguide starts with: this door was crossed by Cristopher Colombus and his son, Diego, when they came from Portugal... - Art: although quite restored and far from the original, it has very nice mudejar details, particularly a cloister
