Cinque Terre, Italy

Due to some natural conditions, excessive development cannot be done in this town and that is why it has still preserved its natural ambience. Going here you get a chance to participate in local activities as well as seaside adventures. The best thing is that since the town hasn't gained much popularity yet, it can be the perfect spot for someone looking for some peace and quiet.
Ronda, Spain
The city is surrounded by remains of prehistoric times including legacies of Romans, Arabs and Celts but this ended up being taken up by Catholic Monarchs in the end. This beautiful place is set on top of a very deep gorge along with a stone bridge.
Going here will also give you the chance to view paintings that are said to be more than 5000 years old. How fascinating! And if that wasn't enough, this town also allows you to become part of Spain's legendary bull fighting festival. So pack up your running boots and visit this town now!
