Vejer de la Frontera, Playa El Palmar — This beach is chill and open all day. Locals say mornings are best for quiet vibes, sunset for Insta shots 📸
Caraorman, Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve — Nature lovers, bring bug spray and binoculars! Boat tours are the way to go for close-ups of birds and wild scenery.
Cordoba, Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba (C. Cardenal Herrero, nº 1, 14003) — Open 10:00-18:30, admission ~109 EUR. Go early to beat crowds. The architecture is jaw-dropping, don’t miss the orange tree patio.

Ronda, Museo Lara (Calle Armiñán, 29, Ronda) — This quirky museum has cool artefacts—great for an afternoon break.
🚗 Getting Around: Use trains and buses for Spanish towns—they’re reliable and cost-effective. In Romania, cabs or app rides work well. Renting a car for the Danube Delta & Andalusia countryside is totally worth it for flexibility.
🍤 Food Hacks: Try fresh fish at El Palmar, tapas in Córdoba (La Taberna, near Mosque), and choripan in Ronda’s local bars. Currency exchange is best done in big cities for good rates.
💡 Weather & Packing: Romania can be chilly, pack a jacket! Spain is mostly warm, but bring sunblock for the beaches and water bottle for hikes.
