Cities with a past and a unique culture

I loved exploring cities with its historical past and architecture well preserved.the culture is palpable in the museum and art galleries so I'm attracted to European cities with well preserved architecture,galleries,opera houses and etc.I'm debating on saving for a trip to Spain,its oozing with avant garde ideas in art of Picasso 's cubicnism,Salvador Dali's surrealism and Antoni gaudi's organic architecture.The dances oozes with seduction and flirtatiousness of flamencco .I would pick traditional artistic culture over any hypermodern soulless cities that has erased its past.The infusion of Moorish influence would make it Pan Asian like Istanbul.
              Let's see how the economy and global economy goes.There's a hint of unpredictability in the way trade wars and tariffs are playing out among the superpowers and this may impact into aftereffects on world economy.
            Are we seeing the End of History or the End of Multilateralism?What would lack of a rules bound trade have on the economic stability?
