Spain
One of the best value destinations in Europe
Welcome to Spain
Spain is the warmest, sunniest place in Western Europe. It’s a land of incredible architecture, endless white sandy beaches, a beautiful language, a history that has been impacted by everywhere from Northern Africa to the Middle East. The way of life in Spain is relaxed, without stress and business, which has led to a nation of kind and happy people. And then there’s the food, rich in flavour and inspired by a sharing culture.
Travel tips
Best sights in Spain
Madrid (capital)
Beautiful, perfectly manicured parks and wide-open boulevards of shops, cafes, and bars are what define daily life in Spain’s capital city. That, and landmarks like the Puerta del Sol and Plaza Mayor.
Barcelona (624km from Madrid)
Perhaps Spain’s most epic city, in no small part because of the Sagrada Familia Cathedral, one of Europe’s most incredible pieces of architecture. Barcelona is amazing, to say the least.
Seville (534km from Madrid)
The most beautiful and historically exciting city in Spain is Seville. A place of Muslim and Christian architecture, cobbled streets and medieval history.
Ronda (550km from Madrid)
A cliff-side city that looks too magical to be real. But it is. Ronda is a place of 15th century buildings and a stone bridge that spans the entire gorge that the entire city teeters at the edge of.
Toledo (72km from Madrid)
An ancient central Spanish city with a walled old city filled with Christian, Arab, and Jewish monuments. So much of Spain’s varied and exciting history is celebrated right here in Toledo.
Spanish Islands
Spain’s islands are known as either party centrals, like Ibiza, or quiet tropical paradises like Tenerife and Gran Canaria. Whatever kind of beach holiday you like, you’ll find it on the islands of Spain.

Best time to visit
If you’re picturing sangria in the sun or a long day sun bathing on a quiet beach, then the best time visit is March/May or in the autumn. But, honestly, Spain is almost perfect all year round.
It’s one of the few European countries that can be enjoyed forever, expect the very dead of winter (December/January). Even in the heart of summer, the cool sea breeze along the coast keeps Spain cool enough to be enjoyed.
