Charming villages of Spain by theme
126 certified villages grouped in 60 thematic collections: castles, coast, high mountain, walled, small, stone, family and much more. Rankings updated by real ratings.
The Most Beautiful Villages of Spain is an association that certifies the country's most charming villages after a rigorous evaluation process. On this page you will find thematic collections that group the villages by the criteria that matter most when planning a getaway: medieval and walled villages, villages by the sea and on the coast, high-mountain and snow villages, stone villages, small villages, family-friendly villages and many more.
Each collection lists the villages ranked by real visitor ratings, not by advertising or editorial opinion. Scores are updated in real time and the rankings reflect the views of people who have actually been there.
In addition to the thematic collections, we offer rankings by autonomous community (Castile and León, Catalonia, Andalusia, Aragon, Asturias, Cantabria, Basque Country, Galicia, Valencian Community, Castilla-La Mancha, Extremadura, Murcia, La Rioja, Navarre, Madrid, Balearic Islands, Canary Islands) and filters by available services: villages with free parking, a tourist office, activities for children, pet-friendly options, signposted routes and more.
If you are planning a weekend, a rural getaway or a cultural trip, these collections will help you discover the most charming villages in Spain according to the kind of experience you are looking for. Every village listed is officially certified by the association.
