Newcastle upon Tyne is an incredibly beautiful city on the North East Coast of England that is a very popular city amongst students, professionals and families. Tynemouth is a fabulous, coastal village that is very popular amongst the locals looking for a quick day trip getaway. Durham is only a 15-minute train ride away from the Newcastle upon Tyne train station and is also very well connected with buses. If you decide to carry on to York by train, make sure you sit on the left-hand side of the train, as you will get an opportunity to snap incredible photos of the cathedral and the castle from high up.

Monuments such as its cathedral in the heart of the city, the Romanesque-Gothic and Neo-Gothic church of Santa María La Antigua (where my parents were married!), the church of San Pablo, the one of San Benito, the Palace of Villena with its stunning central courtyard, the convent of the Descalzas Reales, the National Museum of Polychrome Sculpture, and the Calderón Theater where the International Film Week of the city is held every year will keep visitors in love with art and architecture busy. Perhaps Alcala de Henares’ main claim to fame is as the birthplace for one of the world’s great literary celebrities, Miguel de Cervantes, author of Man of La Mancha. Seville is a little over two hours away by high-speed train, and there are several trains that run in both directions every day, making Seville an attractive day-trip destination from Madrid.
