good guess, more precisely that's Segovia, in central Spain - But I think I already posted quite a lot of photos of this city that I like very much since it was the first place I've stayed in Spain when I was a kid for a linguistic course with my shool.
Now, two other cities. Outside ot he country's name could you guess what precise cities these are from? (or at least the region)
Location: San Francisco, Noord-Kalifornië, Noord-Amerika

I like the projected look of the LA River, Elaine. I once saw something on TV about the river, and, if memory serves, they've already started fixing up part of it that's upstream from LA proper (I don't know where the river starts or what it's course is).
Location: El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Angeles del Río de Porciúncula

I like it too. I've passed by areas where the river bisects that've already been turned into mini parks, but not to the extent as those in the renderings.
The LA River starts in Canoga Park, way up there in the San Fernando Valley and flows southeast/south down to Long Beach.
Fab: I'd hazard a guess and say the Catalan-speaking parts of Spain. I must say that it'd be pretty hard to identify the exact location unless one has been there before. _________________ Hillary Clinton is an acquired taste which I have clearly yet to acquire.
all of you had expected both cities to be in the same country or region, Spain. In reality both are far away, in different continents.
Actually the first one is guanajuato in Mexico. Probably one of the most "colonial" Spanish cities of north America - or to be more precise the most "Andalucian". SAid that it had really tipically Mexican, "new world" and latin American characteristics that the second exemple doesn't have. especially the seond picture...

This was fun -- I'm very familiar with SF's City Hall (the first picture) because it's across the street from the Opera House, where I've spent a lot of time. Elaine did a good job of choosing un-obvious SF pictures (unless you've spent time here, of course).
Uh oh, does that mean I cheated? I totally agree with Deborah - you picked great un-obvious San Francisco pictures. It was the trees that gave it away to me. I've only seen those types of trees two places in my life - San Francisco and Berkeley. Then I looked at the other pictures and was like, "Wait a minute..."

No, you didn't cheat. If you had to put a question mark after your guess, it means you were guessing, whereas I recognized every scene.
si, es la plaza mayor de Madrid, que es considerada como el centro de esa ciudad. Podemos considerarla como un arquetipo de las plazas espanolas. quasi cada ciudad de Espana, y tambien muchas en hispanoAmerica fueron constuidas en este modelo.
esta imagen podria ser un poco mas emblematica:
