Information About Spain

Spain is one of the world’s premier sun holiday destinations, with a vast coastline and is excellently equipped for tourists of all ages.
However, it has far more to offer than sun alone – its many historic cities offer a warm and welcoming nightlife, excellent museums and exhibitions, and world famous architecture.
From the sun drenched beaches of the Costa del Sol to the broad boulevards of Barcelona and Madrid, this country is almost unequalled in the variety and quality of opportunities for tourists of all ages.

Visiting Spain

Spain occupies the larger part of the Iberian Peninsula (Portugal occupies the remainder)
The country has a kaleidoscope of landscapes, from sunny Mediterranean beaches to rugged Sierra mountain ranges.

Rich in history and culture, each region offers its own flavour: enjoy Gaudí’s whimsical avant garde architecture in Barcelona or step back to Roman times in Mérida, or wander the whitewashed alleys of the Andalusian villages. The country spans millenia of time and a huge canvas of styles

The vibrant traditions come alive in the many fiestas, including the passionate flamenco music and dance in Seville.

Food lovers will delight in tapas which are little plates of jamón ibérico, patatas bravas, fresh seafood and lots more. The food can be paired with the famous Rioja or Cava wines.

There is no end to relaxing, exploring, learning and dining in this sunny mediterranean country!

Weather: The weather varies according to location. The south and east coasts have a Mediterranean climate, the central inland areas have a continental climate (hot in summer cold in winter); the north and northwest have an oceanic climate (wetter and more temeperate)
