Groupon’s Guide to Madrid

Groupon’s Guide to Valencia

Situated on the east coast of Spain, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, the city is a mixture of imposing historical buildings with busy modern streets and vivid nightlife. As the capital of the Old Kingdom of Valencia, the city retains much of its old charm and cultural heritage expressed through iconic buildings and sites, such as The Cathedral or the imposing Serranos Towers.

The city centre, with its historic sites such as the Palace of the Marquis de Dos Aguas and the Cathedral Quarter, awaits to be explored by visitors. Plenty of dining opportunities are provided in local restaurants where Valencia’s signature dish, paella, can be tasted along with local wines and beverages, while modern art can be enjoyed through a visit to the City of Arts and Sciences.

Groupon’s Guide to Malaga

With a rolling mixture of hills, wild parks and natural reservations on Costa del Sol, Malaga allures tourists to an exotic resort defined by sandy beaches and the mountainous landscapes of Montes de Malaga.

The historic city of Malaga is a symbol of artistic and cultural heritage, where travellers may admire imposing examples of architecture that still guard the city streets. Tourists may witness the grand diversity of cultures and civilisations that have shaped the face of the city over the years, ranging from the 11th-century medieval fortress of Alcazaba to Renaissance legacies such as the Church of Santiago and Santa Maria la Mayor. Man-made wonders intermingle with nature’s artworks, brushing up the general setting with tropical beaches and natural parks that spread upon the region, offering a multitude of itineraries to follow. Dazzling in the hot sun of Artola beach, hiking in the deep pine forests of Pinar del Hacho or strolling through the iconic suburban parks of Archidona are just a few things that can be marked down on a holiday to Malaga.

Groupon’s Guide to Seville

Caressed by the Guadalquivir River, this historic port town holds a wealth of cultural attractions and districts full of traditional cultures such as the Triana and the Macarena. A passionate and romantic city, the Andalusian capital provides holidaymakers with famous tapas bars, nightlife and hidden plazas shrouded by orange blossoms, while a well-designed transportation system carries travellers to some of the city’s renowned landmarks.

Visitors seeking greater insight into Andalusian culture may head to the Museum of Arts and Traditions, in which the surrounding beauty of Maria Luisa Park offsets a unique collection of ceramics, weapons, and musical instruments. A trip to the lush Alcázar Gardens will provide a scenic stroll through variegated parkland split into historical styles which encompass Renaissance terraces, Gothic towers, and ancient Moorish-styled elements. After exploring the 15th-century cloisters of the city’s grand Gothic cathedral, tourists can board one of the horse-and-cart cabs, which can be found waiting beside the 100-metre stretch of the nearby Giralda Tower.
