Contact the Spanish tourist office or consulate for information. As far as architechture goes, Spain has some really fascinating Romanesque and Moorish influenced church and secular buildings. One really fine place to go is Santiago de Compastela, in the NW part of Spain. It was at one time the end of one of the most well travelled medieval pilgrimage routes in Europe. The art and history and culture there are fantastic. (It is the reputed burial place of St. James) If you want additional information on Santiago de Compastela or on sites along the old pilgrimage route, which is a treasure trove of historical interesting sites and arch. interesting buildings, just send me mail and I'll dig the stuff I have on the region out.
