Situated on the pebbly shores of the Baie des Anges on the French Riviera, Nice is renowned worldwide for its year-round sunshine, azure sea, and sophisticated boutiques. Breathe in the fresh Mediterranean air as you stroll the famous Promenade des Anglais or lose yourself in the quaint streets of the Old Town, a maze of narrow streets, colourful buildings, and charming squares that provide visitors with a glimpse into the city's rich history. Art and culture enthusiasts will be in their element in Nice, with several world-class museums and art galleries, including the Musée Matisse and the Musée d'Art Moderne et d'Art Contemporain.

Overlooking the impressive Alhambra palace lies the lovely Generalife Garden. With its bright flowerbeds and picturesque fountains, its higher and lower gardens are the ideal spot for an evening stroll. You don’t want to miss this Andalusian scenery with great architecture in a floral setting on your holiday pictures.

The Albayzín, also known as Albaicín, is composed of snaking corridors and alleyways that make up the old Arabian quarter of Granada. It is a pleasure just to wander the warren of streets that organically formed back in the Nasrid period (13th–15th centuries). The neighbourhood was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994, as an extension of the historic site of the nearby Alhambra.

Around an hour outside Málaga, this cliffside path takes you through narrow walkways, deep gorges, and a high suspension bridge at the end. It’s about 8 km one-way and takes a few hours, depending on your pace. It used to be known as dangerous, but it’s now rebuilt and safe, with handrails and a clear path the whole way. You’ll need to book ahead, and there’s a shuttle at the end that takes you back to where you started. The views are what people come for — steep rock faces, bright blue water, and huge open skies.
