About Spain
Spain is one of Europe's most popular destinations, offering a rich blend of world-class art, stunning architecture, Mediterranean beaches, and legendary cuisine. Barcelona dazzles visitors with Gaudi's fantastical Sagrada Familia and Park Guell, while Madrid is home to the Prado Museum and the lively tapas scene of La Latina.
Andalusia in the south features the Alhambra palace in Granada, Seville's flamenco culture, and the whitewashed hilltop villages of the Costa del Sol. Spain's diverse regions each have their own character, from the Basque Country's culinary excellence to the Balearic and Canary Islands' beach escapes. With warm weather, affordable prices, and some of the world's best food and wine, Spain rewards travelers of every style.
