There are many things that attract different people to the Spanish region. It is a country that has different things for different people and in fact, the word Spain means different things to different people. Spain as a region has a lot to look forward to and when you plan your holiday wisely, you will be in a position to get the very best experience while in the country.

Spain has a good number of historical cities and actually ranks first in this category. The Galician region in northwest Spain houses Santiago de Compostela which is actually the end of the pilgrimage route referred to as the Way of St. James. It is believed that St. James was actually buried here. Here, you will be able to see a cathedral that maybe termed as the most beautiful cathedral in all of Spain. It is located at the very heart of this great town. In northeastern Spain, there are some historical centers such as Zaragoza. Here you will find Muslim, renaissance, roman and medieval buildings all over. The areas cover some two thousand years of history.

There is something that everyone should note, especially if they are interested in touring the cathedrals in Spain. For cathedrals, Spain has the highest fee for entry than all other regions in all of Europe. For people who are travelling through Germany, Italy or France, this may be quite difficult to accept. The fee might be excessive especially for families, thus it is good to weigh all your options while in Spain as religious sightseeing may prove to be rather expensive.

Another thing that you should also critically consider is the fact that some of the churches are quite inaccessible. The churches in Spain do not operate as those in neighboring countries and may only open twice or even once in a day. They are therefore mostly open to the locals for worship purposes.

The larger cathedrals however remain open throughout the day but they do not signify the entire Spanish Christian legacy. There are many medieval churches all over Spain but in some cases you may be unable to access them, especially because you are a tourist. Planning is essential as it will enable you to catch the churches during the times when they are open.

For those who are greatly fascinated by medieval architecture as well as art, disappointments may be experienced due to the inaccessibility of the same. This combined with the high fees as well as the photography bans; the Christian historic tour can be rather disappointing. Gauge yourself as well as your budget to know whether a tour is worth it.
