Traces of the parade of influential civilizations are evident upon close inspection of many of Spain’s popular landmarks such as the Alhambra,
an Arabic fortress originally constructed in AD 889 and one of Spain’s most well-known travel destinations. As a historical melting pot of clashing civilizations, Spain continues to develop as a cross-roads for curious travelers and history buffs alike. Old world meets modernity here, as centuries-old, vibrantly hued streets host cafes, museums, and boutiques.
