Spain Travel Guide

Spain - passion, tradition, and beauty. A county steeped in history, art, bull-fights, flamenco and fiestas. From the architectural gems of the larger cities to the tiny white-washed villages, from the snowy Sierra Nevada to the turquoise Mediterranean and the unspoiled Atlantic, Spain is diverse and waiting to be explored.

Things to Do in Spain

The country is vast with 50 provinces, 17 autonomous regions each with their own flavor, landscape, and culture. Visit Madrid and wander the Plaza Mayor, experience the famed nightlife, shopping, museums, and historic streets. In Barcelona, be wowed by Gaudi and Picasso, by the labyrinth of alleyways, wide palm-lined boulevards, and sophisticated boutiques. Spain has historic churches, cathedrals, and palaces dotted all over the country and in the larger cities, these blend and contrast perfectly with the cutting edge design of the present seen at places like the Guggenheim in Bilbao.

Explore the wild green coastline of the North, the sun-drenched beaches of the South, and the stunning Moorish architecture of Andalucia. Unmissable is the magical and majestic Islamic wonder - the Alhambra of Granada. Also a must-see is Seville, the city of beautiful women, oranges, Flamenco, and the Giralda.

Walk with the pilgrims along the Camino de Santiago or sun yourself on the beaches of the Costa del Sol. Surf the atlantic waves of Tarifa, or visit the magical white-towns of Cadiz.

Don't forget the islands! Hit the famous clubs of Ibiza, snorkel crystal blue waters of Menorca, or see volcanoes in Lanzarote. Whether it's traditional cuisine with an innovative twist, classical art, music festivals, swimming, surfing, hiking, skiing, or clapping along to the infectious beat of a Flamenco guitar, Spain really has it all.

Best Time to Visit Spain

The north of Spain can be rainy with celtic-like weather, the south can be unbearably hot in summer - choose your region and time to visit accordingly. Spring and late summer are always lovely.
