Visit Baiona, Spain
The medieval walls here surround what was once a royal fortress but has now been converted into a lovely parador. If you can't afford to spend the night it is still worth paying the small fee to walk around the parapet and enjoy the fabulous views.
The cannons that used to defend the town from pirates can still be seen.
