HIGHLIGHTS

5

Lisbon

Bathed in pure Atlantic light, crowned by the storybook St. George's Castle and

straddling seven hills, Lisbon is one of Europe's most visually striking capitals.

Looks aside, the city will surely win you over with its genuine friendliness and

blissfully laid-back pace. At once nostalgic and progressive, Lisbon's charm shines

through in everyday life -- listening to the mournful fado songs in the Moorish

Alfama's alleys, indulging in custard tarts in gilded Art Nouveau patisseries and

living it up at a Bairro Alto street party.

Things to DoNothing says Lisbon like a ride on century-old tram 28, which trundles past stately

plazas, Estrela Basilica's graceful dome and the Romanesque Se Cathedral. Jump

off at hilltop St George's Castle for a rampart stroll and views reaching to the Tagus

River. Just steps away, the Moorish Alfama quarter's mazy lanes are full of laundry

billowing, neighbors gossiping and melancholic fado songs. Down by the river,

Jeronimos Monastery's fantastically ornate Manueline cloisters whisk you back to

Portugal's Age of Discovery.

Costa Brava, the so-called "Wild Coast," is a 153km (95-mile) stretch of coastline --

the northernmost Mediterranean seafront in Spain -- beginning north of Barcelona at

Blanes and stretching toward the French border. Visit this area in May, June,

September, or October, and avoid July and August, when tour groups from northern

Europe book virtually all the hotel rooms.

Girona is one of the most important historical sites in Spain. Later, it became a

Moorish stronghold. Later still, it reputedly withstood three invasions by Napoleon's

troops (1809). For that and other past sieges, Girona is often called "the City of a

Thousand Sieges.” Split by the Onyar River, this sleepy medieval city attracts

crowds of tourists darting inland from the Costa Brava for the day. For orientation

purposes, go to the ancient stone footbridge across the Onyar. From here, you'll

have the finest view. Bring good walking shoes, as the only way to discover the

particular charm of this medieval city is on foot. You can wander for hours through

the Call, the labyrinthine old quarter, with its narrow, steep alleyways and lanes and

its ancient stone houses, which form a rampart chain along the Onyar.

Barcelona

A Gothic and Modernist marvel on the Mediterranean Sea, Barcelona is quirky,

cosmopolitan and effortlessly cool. This city breathes life: from chefs foraging for

fresh produce in La Boqueria Market at the crack of dawn to partygoers leaving El

Born's pulsating clubs around the same time. Pause for a minute, and discover

Barcelona's real charm in small details -- the hidden courtyards of Barri Gotic, the

light catching Sagrada Familia's wax-like turrets -- all coming together to make the

Catalan capital one of Spain's most livable and loveable cities.
