Ten heritage cities in one September loop: modernista Barcelona, Roman Tarragona and the Mudéjar Aljafería of Zaragoza in the north-east; Madrid with the Castilian trio of Segovia, Ávila and Toledo at the centre; then the Andalusian south, from the Mezquita of Córdoba to the Alcázar of Seville and the Alhambra of Granada. It is built around Spain’s autumn Jornadas Europeas de Patrimonio, whose dates each autonomous community fixes for itself. Each stop links to its full entry in the archive; download the GPX or KML for your own navigator.

Do you run walks yourself?

This route was built with the tools we give operators.

Guides, associations and cultural operators build their own routes here: pick the stops from the archive, add your notes, and the map, the GPX and the printable version come out on their own. Your programme gets a permanent page, your events go on the city pages people read while planning — and if you sell a place on your walk, you keep at least 99% of it.
