Our tip: You need at least 40 minutes to fully appreciate this wonderful square, rated by TripAdvisor users as the most spectacular monument in Europe and the second most impressive in the world. It has even served as the setting for films such as Star Wars and Lawrence of Arabia. Exploring its 49 tile-adorned benches offers an intriguing geography and history lesson—a luxury most visitors might not have time to fully absorb—but at the very least, you can snap a great selfie on the bench representing the province that interests you the most. The benches, which correspond to Spain's provinces, are arranged in alphabetical order.
