Overview

Spain is a country with a rich, colorful and diverse history, a land of many varied regions and a people who are proud and welcoming. Looking historically, culturally, gastronomically and geographically, it is said to be one of the most diverse countries of Europe.

For many first-time visitors to Spain, the expectations are of frequently used and evocative media images of sangria, sombreros and bullfights. While all of these plays a part within traditional Spanish culture, there is much more that makes modern Spain a progressive, diverse and cosmopolitan society. From its Roman relics to Muslim palaces, from baroque cathedrals and Modernista constructions, the country is a treasure chest of artistic and architectural marvels across a matchless cultural palette.

While some people prefer to go skiing in the winter months, others prefer to sunbathe on the coast. Not many countries can offer both options during the same month, but Spain can. As a tourist destination, Spain is often mistakenly stereotyped as a sun-and-sea location having most beautiful spots.

Stretching sun-drenched and untamed to the south of the wild and majestic Pyrenees, this passionate nation works a mysterious magic. Spain is littered with hundreds of glittering beaches; flamenco bailaors (dancers) swirl in flounces of color; and toreros (bullfighters) strut their stuff in the bullrings.

Emerald green mountains seem to slide into the wild blue Atlantic in the north. Proud, solitary castles and medieval towns are strewn across the interior. White villages glitter in inland Andalucía. Rugged mountain ranges such as the Sierra Nevada (Europe’s most southerly ski resort) are draped across the country. The Celtic music of Cantabria, Asturias & Galicia reminds one of the misty lands of Brittany, Scotland and Ireland.
Indeed, if there is one thing Spaniards love, it is to eat, drink and be merry, one can gobble up tapas over fine wine in Madrid.
