Weather
When it comes to the weather in Spain, where you are in the country can play a big part in the forecast—it doesn't just depend on the time of year. Generally speaking, the north is home to milder summers and wet, chilly winters, while down south, it's the opposite: scorching summers are the norm, but winters are generally quite pleasant. That being said, Spain is one of Europe's warmest and sunniest destinations throughout the year, with its alluring climate shaped by the country's location between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean.

Artistic Wonders
Discovering Spain means travelling back and forth in time and being surprised by a whole host of monuments ranging from an ancient Roman aqueduct to medieval castles and the most avant-garde, futuristic architecture. Centuries and mixed cultures have left their fascinating mark on Spain with some of the most amazing artistic heritage in the world. When you visit you will be enchanted with the stories behind every work of art and remember them forever.
Coasts and Beaches
Spain boasts almost 8,000 kilometres of coastline where travellers can discover quaint little fishing villages or the grand seaside towns of the north. It is also home to the pristine coves lapped with turquoise water nestled between forests, like the ones in the Balearic Islands, and unspoilt, volcanic beaches in the Canary Islands or the fine sand beaches of the Mediterranean. With thousands of hours of sunshine every year, what’s not to love?
Spanish Gastronomy
Spanish cuisine is famous the world over because not only is it flavoursome, healthy, traditional, creative, and varied, but also due to its popular restaurants and fine dining, as demonstrated by the international recognition of its chefs. An example of how healthy it is can be seen in its famed Mediterranean diet. Top ingredients include olive oil, Iberian ham –a source of national pride– and the Spanish wine, the perfect accompaniment for toasting.
