Spain Holidays

For most tourists, holidays to Spain are all about beaches but, increasingly, foreign visitors are being drawn by its rich cultural heritage and spectacular countryside. Andalucia is a heady mix of guitars and flamenco, matadors and fiesta, where whitewashed hill villages contrast with grand Moorish palaces.

Catalonia is picturesque and wonderfully diverse with its rugged coastline and roving green interior. Here you will discover the flamboyant architecture of Barcelona, which in culture, commerce and sport rivals the Spanish capital. Madrid, Europe's highest capital city, is situated in Central Spain - a land of castles, mountains and rich rolling plains.

With over 5000 miles of coastline, Spain is world-renowned for its beaches. It doesn`t matter whether you choose the mainland’s Costa Dorada, Costa Blanca, Almeria, Costa del Sol or the Balearics and the Canary Islands - the beaches are stunning. Spanish cuisine is rich in seafood and cured meats, such as chorizo and Serrano hams. Paella is one of the most common dishes, and so is cocido, a meat and chick-pea stew. You must try tapas – a selection of small snacks served in social (often wine-drenched) situations. The Balearic Islands are famous for their vegetable sobrasada and wines from the Aragon and Murcia regions.
