Wherever you travel in Spain, don’t forget to look up and visit some of the country’s 40 locations on the UNESCO World Heritage List of sites of “outstanding universal value.”

Visiting these sites yields a fascinating panorama of Spanish history, ranging from ancient cave art in Northern Spain to the flamboyant early 20th century Modernist architecture of Catalan Antoni Gaudí. The list also includes five sites selected for their extraordinary natural setting and biodiversity. For a full list with information on each site, visit: http://whc.unesco.org/en/statesparties/es .
