Bilbao’s Guggenheim Museum<br />

Since the Guggenheim Museum was opened in 1993,<br />

around one million visitors have been flocking to this<br />

sensational cultural establishment every year. The building,<br />

made of glass, titanium and sandstone, is an artwork<br />

in its own right; its exterior was designed by artists<br />

and inside you will find all the most famous names in<br />

the art world spread out over an 11,000 square metres<br />

(118,000 sq ft) exhibition space.<br />

Santiago de Compostela –<br />

a place of pilgrimage<br />

Santiago de Compostela, one of the world’s most famous<br />

pilgrimage sites, is the final stop and climax of the Road to<br />

Santiago – a pilgrimage route that has been followed since<br />

the 11th century. During this time, the city’s magnificent<br />

cathedral was also established as one of the most important<br />

pilgrimage sites in Christianity, alongside Rome and<br />

Jerusalem. This building, together with the old town, is<br />

protected by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.<br />

The Islas Cíes Nature Reserve<br />

According to Galician legend, the Cíes archipelago is the<br />

place where God rested on the seventh day after he created<br />

the world – and it is easy to see why. The site, now<br />

a nature reserve, encompasses a substantial area of sea<br />

and three islands which, with their steep coasts, sand<br />

dunes and small forests, are perfect for individual hikes.<br />

Porto’s “Ribeira” old town<br />

The “Ribeira” old town in Porto, a UNESCO World Heritage<br />

Site, lies in a picturesque setting along the river Douro<br />

with its famous port-wine boats. The former “workingclass<br />

district” has now been transformed into a beautifully<br />

restored stylish quarter.<br />
