SPAIN

University of Wisconsin River Falls Alumni Association
Take a moment away from your busy day to imagine. See yourself in the Prado taking in one masterpiece after another, or sipping sangria on a wide cafe-lined promenade that runs along the sandy beaches of the Costa del Sol. Imagine taking a drive through a countryside of whitewashed villages, or in the marketplace of Tangier bartering for perfumes, spices and fabrics. Close your eyes and imagine watching a flamenco dancer in a swirling red dress, or a bullfighter twirling his red cape. See yourself exploring a Moorish palace so enchanting it seems out of the pages of a storybook with its pink stone courtyards, pools, fountains and patios. How exciting to be in a land of wild beauty, steeped in romance, mysterious, and rich in history.

the Phoenicians and Romans or indulge in the best of Spanish and international cuisine, tapas bars, and exciting night life.

SEVILLE
One of the most elegant cities in
Spain. See the gorgeous Maria Luisa Park, the impressive Plaza de Espana, the legendary Moorish Torre del Oro (Tower of Gold), and the Alcazar Palace, home of Spanish Kings for almost seven centuries. Visit one of
the largest Gothic cathedrals in the world, where you'll see what is said to be the tomb of Christopher Columbus.

CORDOBA
From the old Roman Bridge with its Arab watch-tower to a 10th century mosque with a Christian cathedral at its center to "La Juderia" with its evocative statues of Jewish philosophers, this city is a historical crossroad rich in cultural contrast.

The church of Santo Tome, home of El Greco's most famous paintings as well as many other highlights.

This ancient walled town is where Christian, Spanish and Arabian culture and architecture blend together. Lose yourself in the Zocos, a Moroccan marketplace steeped in artisan treasures. Lunch in the infamous Kasbah before returning to the Costa del Sol.

Granada
Shaped by the Moors, the fabled city of Granada nestles at the foot of the snow-capped Sierra Nevada Mountains. Alhambra Palace, dating back to the 14th century, a complex of pink stone courtyards, pools, fountains, halls and patios. Created to be paradise on earth by the Moors. Generalife Gardens, the country estate of the Nasrid Kings, with spectacular views of the whole city. The Albaicin, the old Moorish quarter that clings to the hillside opposite the Alhambra.

Flamenco Show
Enjoy the incredible speed and precision of an authentic flamenco dance, the rhythm of castanets, the intricate tap of steel toed shoes, the swirl of brilliantly colored costumes. Romantic, exciting and so very Spain.
