22 Villages Join Spain’s 'Pueblos Mágicos' Network in 2026

Spain is delighted to welcome 22 new Pueblos Mágicos into its network for 2026 – with new sites inviting travellers to discover living towns that cherish their heritage, traditions and unique landscapes. Far from being symbolic awards, these titles reflect a shared commitment among villages to preserve their identity, support sustainability and open their doors to responsible tourism.

This year’s Pueblos Mágicos span across various regions:

Aragón (Teruel): Aliaga, Belmonte de San José, Jabaloyas
Andalucía: Arjona (Jaén), Arjonilla (Jaén), Bujalance (Córdoba), La Palma del Condado (Huelva), Tabernas (Almería), Arriate (Málaga), Gaucín (Málaga)
Región de Murcia: Mula
Extremadura (Badajoz): Zalamea de la Serena
Castilla‑La Mancha (Toledo): La Puebla de Montalbán
Asturias: Navia, Coaña
Cantabria: Alfoz de Lloredo, Miengo, Reocín
Islas Canarias: Arona (Tenerife), Vallehermoso (La Gomera)
Islas Baleares: Ferreries (Menorca)
País Vasco (Álava): Elburgo (El Burgo)

Each of these places embodies the essence of a Pueblo Mágico whether it’s a stone-built street in Aliaga, or a fortress and olive landscapes in Bujalance. A UNESCO-listed tamborada in Mula or volcanic terrain in Vallehermoso, these towns are all well-lived and share community pride.

These 22 towns now form a richer, more diverse network, connecting historic plazas, local workshops, intimate traditions and coastal seascapes. Together they deepen Spain’s invitation to travel off-the-beaten-track in 2026 in places that truly welcome their heritage.
