5 charming cities in winter

The leisure and tourism activity in the winter season also has its place within our geography, not being all the offer of sun and beach.

There are cities that acquire a unique charm in winter. They seem to come to life and offer the opportunity to enjoy a different vacation, by having leisure activities different from other times of the year and by awakening other emotions and sensations.

These are some of the perfect cities to enjoy winter getaways; cities that exude a special magic when thermometers plummet:

1. Leisure and tourism in Granada

Granada is one of these destinations that can be visited throughout the year. It is a city of climatic contrasts, which offers the best of the tropical climate during this time, allowing you to enjoy the architectural wonders it keeps, such as the Alhambra, the Albaicín or the Sacromonte.

But it also offers a polar cold in the Sierra Nevada. This has one of the most important ski resorts in Spain, which allows snow lovers to practice different disciplines, such as skiing or snowboard.

2. Leisure and tourism in Segovia

Segovia is a very classic city, with a very traditional old town, crossed by cobbled streets and dotted with monumental wonders, such as the aqueduct. In winter, with the first snowfalls, it transforms and offers a very different panorama that can turn any tourism experience into an exceptional experience.

Nearby is the Sierra de Guadarrama, which has several ski resorts and where fans of winter sports can make up for themselves.

3. Leisure and tourism in Madrid

Winters in Madrid are harsh and long, but in the capital they have been able to take advantage of it. To warm up, nothing better than a good hot chocolate with churros or roasted chestnuts, or a bike ride through Madrid Río, where you have the feeling that spring is eternal, despite the freezing wind.

If it rains, the offer of art, culture and museums is endless, as well as the frenetic activity of its shopping centers for lovers of shopping and fashion.

4.Leisure and tourism in Zamora

The city of the Duero is a marvel during this time and offers the opportunity to live unforgettable experiences, such as a morning walk along the banks of the river with an exceptional panorama presided over by its beautiful cathedral. But the true charm is found in the towns of the province, with very traditional customs that continue to preserve the essence of the popular culture of yesteryear.

The winter masquerades are typical of these dates, which have their roots in pagan traditions, but which today are a cause of celebration and joy for the locals and of curiosity for those who decide to go see them.

5. Leisure and tourism in Cuenca

Cuenca comes to life in winter. When the first snows fall, the city offers a particularly different panorama.

With a good coat and good shoes, the ideal thing is to walk through its intricate streets, reach the hanging houses or enjoy the panoramic view offered by the San Pablo bridge. The cultural and architectural offer is worth immortalizing it with our latest technological devices, with or without our presence.

And we must not forget that something fundamental to warm up with the low temperatures of the season is the rich and varied gastronomy of our entire geography and as proof of those of the area we value the delicious porridge.
