No way I could name the eleven pictures !!!
This quiz is really tough. I’m only positive about three of them and I could take a good guess on another three or four, depending on how specific do you need the answers to be in order to give an ok (for instance, I imagine it would not be enough to say no. 2 is “La Mancha”).

I would guess Consuegra for number 2, Tarragona for number 4, Merida for number 5. I’m pretty sure 6 is Chinchon and 9 is Avila. As for the rest, NPI!

Here are my guesses:
1- Roman Ruins on Bolonia Beach (Cadis)
2- Windmill on Cerro Calderico in Consuegra (Toledo)
3- Somewhere in the Cape of Gata (Almeria)
4- Castellers festival in the Tarragona arena.
5- Ruins of the Roman Temple in Cordova.
6- Plaza Mayor in Chinchon (Madrid).
7- Lighthouse at Trafalgar Cape (Cadis).
8- Somewhere near Plaza de las Flores in Cadis’ old town
9- Gate of Saint Vincent in the Avila City Wall.
10- View of Malaga from the Gibralfaro Castle.
11- I would say somewhere in Galicia but I am totally clueless.

@ Urgellenk : Impressive display of Spain-knowledge.
no.11 is an Oyster Stand at the ‘Mercado Da Piedra’ in Vigo, Galicia. You can tell if you take a careful look at what it says in the sign next to the fishmonger’s cap (above the table in which a family is having lunch).

Wow, Urgellenk, have you been following in my footsteps around Spain?! Parubin completed the puzzle with Vigo, but still, Urgellenk is a 100% bona fide hispanofile!

Well, I lived in Spain years ago and I still visit frequently, so I guess I do qualify as a hispanofile.
Parubin: your eyesight is amazing. Even knowing what is written on it, I am still unable to read that sign.

Number 11 I know for sure. It’s the oyster street in Vigo, Galicia.

By some fluke I have been to basically all the places on the list/in that proximity (besides 3 and 9), if we include a bus that went through Vigo, stopped, but I didnt get off.
The roman ruins in the south are fantastic, had no idea they were there, just followed a road sign in my rental car and it was worth the detour
