SPAIN'S smallest city is often overlooked by tourists - despite having some very impressive views. The city of Frias, in the province of Burgos, is les than two hours from Bilbao in the north of Spain. 5 Spain's smallest "city" has just 250 locals Credit: Alamy 5 Frias was given the title of a city back in the 15th century despite it's size Credit: Alamy Despite being a city, it has fewer than 300 locals living there.
This dates back to the 15th century, when the then King Juan II of Castile gave the area a city title so it could be exchanged for the town, Peñafiel. Of course, while Frias is technically a medieval town, it retains its city title. The best views are found at the 10th century castle, Castle of the Dukes of Frias.
It overlooks the La Muela rock and Spanish countryside and tickets cost just €2 although kids go free. Other attractions include the Iglesia de San Vicente Mártir, a Catholic church, as well as the small Alfonso VIII Park. One of the more unusual ones is the Fuente de las Tejas, a water fountain built on a wall which makes musical sounds when water runs along the tiles.
People have raved about it, calling it both "unspoiled" and like "travelling back to Medieval Spain ".
