From sizzling cuisine and riotous fiestas to cutting-edge contemporary art, rigorously conserved natural spaces and a stunning network of rural accommodation, Spain offers the lot.
Spains old urban centres exude architectural jewels, with Romanesque, Gothic, and Baroque churches, Moorish fortresses and Renaissance palaces. Plazas and bars ensure ancient city streets remain the focus of social activity, and a sprinkling of modern masterpieces adds a contemporary tone.
Sun, sea, and sangría can certainly be had along the countrys south coast, but Spains natural beauty extends to many different terrains. Mountainous national parks offer stunning hiking in alpine environments, while the north coast offers rolling green hills, huddled fishing villages and isolated sandy coves. Coastal and island holidays remain extremely popular, but many visitors are also turning inland: an artistically restored rustic stone farmhouse is a beautiful base for exploring the wonderfully relaxed pace of Spanish village life.
