Although September is, for many, the month of the post-holiday slump and the return to routine, we can keep its positive side. And it is that the good weather that is still with us makes it ideal to continue traveling and take a few weekend getaways. In addition, the prices and offers on these dates are much more competitive than those of previous months. This way we will better cope with the fact that we are at the furthest point in the calendar with respect to the next summer vacation. Here are some ideas.

Watchtowered on top of a plateau, which seems to be cut by a knife by the Guadalevín river gorge, is Ronda. A fantasy just 100 kilometers from Malaga and the third most visited city in Andalusia. It lacks neither beauty nor history to be. Celts, Phoenicians, Romans, Arabs and Christians have passed through there. Now only you are left because the place is wonderful for getaways.

@Santillana del mar tourism
Santillana del Mar is an essential appointment for the tourist who visits Cantabria since it is one of the towns of greatest historical-artistic value from Spain. It could be said that everything in it is a monument. Beginning with the Cueva de Altamira, described as the “Sistine Chapel” of cave art and which contains probably the most famous prehistoric paintings in the world. Although this town is much more.

Buitrago de Lozoya, which has one of the best preserved walls in Madrid. Declared an Asset of Cultural Interest and Historic-Artistic Site, the town is surrounded by the meander of the Lozoya River, although its main tourist attraction is that it preserves its old walled enclosure as it was built in the 11th century by the Muslims. It has a length of 800 meters and is divided into two parts: high wall and low wall.
The Merindades
In Las Merindades, the mountains to the north of Burgos become a paradise dreamed of by everyone who doesn’t know where to find it. Extensive landscapes where nature recreates itself in its own beauty and that preserve the charm of immense intact natural works. The landscapes of forests and rivers with crystal clear waters are mixed here with interesting Romanesque hermitages, slender towers and castles and other heritage treasures.
Benicassim
@turismobenicassim
Benicàssim offers much more than its well-known and coveted beaches. The place has an important historical legacy that goes back centuries. Its varied architecture has examples of defensive constructions from the time of the corsairs, back in the 16th century, and buildings in the finest French style from the years of maximum splendor of modernism in the 19th century. All this washed down with the classic jovial atmosphere of the Mediterranean and a touch of a fishing village of yesteryear always looking out to sea.
