Summer holidays Spain

A great destination for your summer holidays, Spain has it all – plenty of sunshine, fine sandy beaches, great resorts, cultural heritage and spectacular countryside.

Andalucia is a heady mix of guitars and flamenco, matadors and fiestas, where whitewashed hill villages contrast with grand Moorish palaces. Catalonia is picturesque and wonderfully diverse, with a rugged coastline and roving green interior. Here you will discover the flamboyant architecture of Barcelona, a cultural hotspot. Madrid, Europe's highest capital city, is found in the heart of Spain - a land of castles, mountains and rich rolling plains.

With over 5000 miles of coastline Spain is world-renowned for its beaches. Whether you go to the mainland – to the Costa Dorada, Costa Blanca, Almeria, Costa del Sol - or one of the islands - the Balearics or the Canary Islands - the beaches are stunning.

Your taste buds will tingle with the Spanish cuisine, which is rich in seafood and cured meats, such as chorizo and Serrano hams. Paella is one of the most common dishes, as is cocido, a meat and chick-pea stew. You must also try tapas – a selection of small snacks shared over wine. Vegetable sobrasada is a speciality of the Balearic Islands, as are the wines from the Aragon and Murcia regions.
