Barcelona

Barcelona rewards walkers: the medieval Gothic Quarter, Gaudí's Modernisme along Passeig de Gràcia, and the seafront all sit close enough to string together on foot. Its Mediterranean climate keeps winters mild and summers hot and humid, so the shoulder months trade peak-season queues at the Sagrada Família for far more comfortable sightseeing weather.
