Granada, Córdoba, and Spain's Costa del Sol

Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2010 | Andalucía's Moorish heritage sparkles in the historic capitals of Granada and Córdoba. And the pride of the Reconquista and the power of Queen Isabel and King Ferdinand enliven the region's great sights. Tasting the smooth sherry and marveling at prancing stallions, we find the passion in Andalusian culture. And we top it off with fun in the Spanish sun on the Costa del Sol. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #spain

Andalucía, Gibraltar, and Tangier

Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2010 | Exploring Andalucía, we experience the quintessence of Spanish culture. Starting up high, in Spain's whitewashed hill towns, we roll down to the coast to enjoy the windsurfing mecca of Tarifa. Then we catch a bit of Britain on the Rock of Gibraltar, and sail to Africa for a Moroccan finale in Tangier. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #spain

Sevilla

Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2004 | Sevilla is the flamboyant city of Carmen and Don Juan, where bullfighting is still politically correct and little girls dream of growing up to become flamenco dancers. Sevilla has soul — and we feel it in its lacy Moorish palace, massive cathedral, lavish royal tombs, labyrinthine Jewish quarter, and its people-filled streets. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #sevilla

Highlights of Castile: Toledo and Salamanca

Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2004 | We roam the region of Castile, starting in Toledo — so well-preserved and packed with cultural wonder that the entire city has been declared a national monument, on to Segovia for a festive day out with the locals, then to Ávila for a dose of medieval architecture, finishing with a traditional stroll in Salamanca's Plaza Mayor. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #spain

Eat Your Way Through Spain and the South of France with Rick Steves

Enjoy our live Monday Night Travel party with this video recorded on June 5, 2023.

Rick is just back from a grueling 30 days of nonstop guidebook research — and nonstop eating! He savored roast suckling pig in Toledo, dunked churros into hot chocolate in Madrid, slurped gazpacho in Sevilla, treated himself to jamón ibérico in Córdoba, cooled down with sangria in Granada, and munched on gourmet tapas in the hill towns of Andalucía. Then, after couscous in Morocco, Rick met up with his buddy Steve Smith in the French Riviera for a salade niçoise in Nice and bouillabaisse in Antibes…and that's just a taste of the feast we'll enjoy in this delicious edition of MNT.

Sneak a peek at Rick's newest (and as-yet unedited) mouth-watering food and drink recommendations for Spain, France, and Morocco before they hit the guidebooks:

Arcos de la Frontera, Spain: Queen of Andalucía - Rick Steves’ Europe Travel Guide - Travel Bite

More info about travel to Arcos de la Frontera: The route of the Pueblos Blancos, or white towns, is a charm bracelet of characteristic towns perched in the hills and mountains of Andalucía. The queen of the hill towns, Arcos de la Frontera, smothers its hilltop and tumbles down its back like the train of a wedding dress. Towns with de la Frontera in their names, like Arcos, were established on the frontier during the battle to reclaim Spain from the Muslims. As the Moors retreated into Northern Africa, the frontier towns, though no longer on the frontier, kept the de la Frontera as part of their names. #ricksteveseurope #spain #arcos

Granada, Spain: The Exquisite Alhambra - Rick Steves’ Europe Travel Guide - Travel Bite

More info about travel to Granada: Granada's dominant sight is the Alhambra, the last and greatest Moorish palace. For two centuries, until 1492, Granada reigned as the capital of a dwindling Moorish empire. As Christian forces pushed the Moors farther and farther south, this palace was the last hurrah of a sophisticated civilization. #ricksteveseurope #spain #granada

The Majesty of Madrid

Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2004 | After wandering the Plaza Mayor, do a little high-stakes gambling at one of Europe's biggest flea markets, ogle the lavish Royal Palace, ponder perplexing art at the Prado Museum, stare down a flamenco dancer in Sevilla, look deep into Picasso's greatest work — Guernica — at the Centro Reina Sofía, and munch on pigs' ears in a tapa tango. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #madrid
