Spain
A large southern European country combining sunshine, islands and historic cities, world-famous for flamenco, food and pilgrimage routes.
Spain occupies the Iberian Peninsula and also includes the Balearic and Canary Islands. Its landscape ranges from the Mediterranean coast to the central plateau and the Pyrenees and Cantabrian Mountains in the north. Barcelona's Gaudí architecture, Madrid's Prado Museum, Andalusia's Alhambra and Seville's old town are classic destinations, while the Camino de Santiago and islands such as Tenerife and Ibiza are also hugely popular. Spring and autumn are best for city trips, and summer suits beach holidays. The airports at Madrid and Barcelona are the main gateways, and the high-speed rail network is extensive.
