Spain Spain

It’s easy to see why Spain is one of the world’s most popular travel destinations, with charismatic cities, full of amazing local eateries, vibrant bars and stunning architecture, scenic countryside, with sleepy villages and sunny islands perfect for a relaxing getaway.

Spain is much more than holidays in the sun, though. Away from the beach there’s an extraordinary variety of things to do; from climbing snow-capped peaks in the Pyrénées to hiking the ancient pilgrimage route of St James’s Way; from diving in the protected Medes Islands to getting involved in a tomato fight in Bonal’s La Tomatina festival.
