In this video, we invite you to embark on an aerial journey over some of Spain's most spectacular and vertigo-inducing towns and cities. Through stunning drone footage, you'll discover how architecture and nature come together in astonishing ways in places that defy gravity. Every corner of this tour immerses you in landscapes that seem like they’ve been plucked from a dream, where heights, cliffs, and steep slopes will make you feel true visual vertigo.

The journey begins in Puentedey, Burgos, a small, picturesque village built on a natural rock arch that seems suspended in time. From there, we move to the iconic city of Cuenca, where the famous Hanging Houses defy the laws of physics as they cling to the edge of a cliff, leaving you speechless. We continue our journey south to Ronda, Málaga, where the majestic Tajo de Ronda splits the city in two, offering spectacular views that stretch to the horizon.

Our journey then takes us to Castellfollit de la Roca, Girona, a village perched on an impressive basalt cliff that seems to float above the void, offering a breathtaking scene. Next, we fly over Iznájar, Córdoba, a charming village perched atop a hill surrounded by Andalusia's largest reservoir, creating a landscape of pure serenity. From there, we head to Haza, Burgos, an ancient defensive stronghold perched defiantly on a hill, dominating the vast Castilian plateau.

In the Sierra de Grazalema, Cádiz, we find our next destination: Grazalema, a whitewashed village nestled in the mountains, offering a dizzying visual spectacle with its steep streets and unparalleled panoramas. La Hiruela, Jaén, presents itself as a peaceful haven in a stunning natural setting, while Cazorla, also in Jaén, stands out for its location along the mountainside, surrounded by a vast natural park that makes it a true balcony to nature.

Sepúlveda, Segovia, is the next stop on our journey, a village that unfolds along a gorge, with houses clinging to the precipice. Rello, Soria, rises like a fortress atop a rocky peak, offering a view that seems straight out of a fairy tale. The adventure continues in Arcos de la Frontera, Cádiz, where the village seems to hang literally from the edge of a cliff, providing a visual experience that makes you feel as if you're walking on the edge of the world.

The Ermita de Santa Justa in Ubiarco, Santander, is another treasure you'll discover, perched on the edge of a cliff overlooking the Cantabrian Sea, a location that combines mysticism and nature at its finest. On the Asturian coast, Luarca unfolds before your eyes, a village that embraces the sea and hills in a unique way, offering views that will leave you breathless. Finally, the video concludes with two Andalusian gems: Zuheros, Córdoba, and Zahara de la Sierra, Cádiz, both villages crowning their respective hills with unparalleled charm, as if they were guardians of a bygone era.

This video is a true gem for lovers of adventure, history, and panoramic views that challenge the senses. Get ready for a visual journey that will not only make you feel vertigo but will also immerse you in the beauty and majesty of these unique places in Spain. Don't miss it!

Absolutely magnificent!
I have been to Arcos de la Frontera and it is as incredible as you have portrayed it in your depiction
Also Ronda - the building and 'engineering' feats are quite extreme.
Thank you for inspiring more trips to Iberia

Nope nope nope..that's some terrifying architecture. Nice view but don't look down. In Florida if I fall off the roof or out a window the worst is a bruised ego.
Very well done video, keep it up

I normally have difficulty in staying focussed on video clips longer than 3 minutes or so but, this had me transfixed. Excellent video!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled to hear that the video kept you engaged. It means a lot to know that it held your attention and that you enjoyed it. If you haven’t already, feel free to subscribe to the channel for more content like this.
 
Spain looks like a droners paradise. I too don’t always watch to the end or fast forward but this had me watching with mouth open. Beautifully filmed, lovely soundtrack ( Vivaldi ?) and well put together. Thankyou for taking me on a journey.

Beautiful places. I'm guessing the places along the cliffs are stable. I bet the view from those buildings are really good since there's nothing in the way.

I'm thrilled that my video has inspired you to continue exploring Spain! You're absolutely righ: Arcos de la Frontera and Ronda are both incredible and somewhat 'crazy' cities. Their unique and dramatic landscapes are a testament to a time when cities in Spain were designed to be impenetrable fortresses.

Haha, I completely agree! These places are definitely not for the faint of heart, but the breathtaking views make the risk totally worth it, don’t they?
 
Superb video. Wonderful scenes and I loved the musical accompaniment. Vivaldi has always been a favorite of mine.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the scenes and the music. Vivaldi’s a favorite of mine too, so I’m thrilled you loved the accompaniment.

Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m thrilled that the video kept you captivated until the end, and yes, the music is Vivaldi, from The Four Seasons.

From the perspective of landscapes, cities, and villages, Spain is indeed a paradise for drones. However, there’s a bit of a frenzy around controlling and monitoring them, with a dedicated police force and fines reaching up to €300k. Under the new regulations, which were implemented very recently, you even need to get permission from the Ministry of the Interior to fly a drone under 250 grams in the city.
