Prepare to step into a scintillating culture full of fiery fiestas and sun-drenched beaches. This year-round favourite truly sizzles as a diverse nation of historic cities and picturesque peninsulas.
Characterised by scorching weather and fiery fiestas, with a culture as varied as the stonework of Sagrada Familia, Spain is a sun-drenched escape with an air of passion and timelessness where crumbling ruins nostalgic of the country’s Catholic history stand above streets playing host to renowned festivities after sundown.
Venture out to sea, where Spain’s islands invite the adventure seekers and family travellers for year-round warmth and sun. Beckoning hikers to Mallorca’s Tramuntana mountains and Llevant Peninsula (best experienced on horseback) and Lanzarote’s volcanic hills and vineyards, while tempting wide-eyed children with family flamenco lessons and breaching whales off Tenerife’s shores.
From hilltop vistas looking down to biscuity beaches, to the mainland’s sky reaching cities, while first timers go to Spain for the sweltering seaside, it’s the beguiling beauty, contrasting culture and open-minded opportunities they return for time and time again.
