A World in One Country

Spain

Spain is a feast for all the senses. Radiant culture is on display everywhere you look, from flamenco and football to world-class art and architecture. History comes alive in medieval towns and centuries-old cities. Madrid and Barcelona set the standard for modern culture yet also preserve relics from earlier eras. Beyond the urban centers, traditions thrive in small towns and villages scarcely changed in generations. For adventurous travellers, Spain delivers stunning natural beauty from Pyrenees peaks to over 4,000 miles of coastline dotted with beaches, coves and cliffs.

Few countries rival Spain when it comes to cuisine and nightlife. Tapas culture, similar to the Arabic mezze style, encourages travellers to enjoy a variety of small plates in relaxed and communal settings at all hours of the day. World-class chefs elevate homestyle dishes to new heights. After dark, plazas and parties go strong until sunrise, whether to festive flamenco or emerging indie acts.

Spain’s welcoming spirit and affordable lifestyle enhance every experience. Siestas, serendipitous encounters, and late-night conversations infuse travel with humanity. Delve into workshops, dance classes, or volunteer programs to directly engage local communities. Outdoor options are endless for those wishing to hike trails, cycle routes, or paddle waters. Each visit uncovers deeper layers of one of Europe’s most captivating destinations. Discover them for yourself—book with us today!

Spain: Essential Information and Fun Facts

Spain requires visitors from many non-EU countries to have a Schengen visa for short stays up to 90 days within a 180-day period. The requirements typically include a valid passport, proof of sufficient funds, travel insurance, and a detailed itinerary or hotel bookings. However, visa-free travel is available for several nationalities, but it’s always crucial to check the latest guidelines based on your specific country of origin. Navigating these requirements can be complex – let us simplify the process for you!

Spain’s climate varies by region, but summers are generally hot and dry inland, while milder along the coast. Winters are cooler in central and northern areas. Spring (April-June) and fall (September-November) offer pleasant weather country-wide. July-August sees peak tourist season with the hottest weather and highest prices. For warm weather with smaller crowds, aim to visit in May, June, September or October.

Spain is filled with an eclectic mix of fun and unusual facts. Did you know Spain has over 50,000 kilometers of coastline, more than any other country in Europe? Or that there’s a Spanish festival where people throw tomatoes at each other just for fun? Fascinating architectural feats like Sagrada Família in Barcelona have been under construction for over 130 years! And while Spanish siestas may seem lazy, they actually make perfect sense – temperatures often reach sweltering highs during midday work hours. Whatever you’re into, adventures await around every charming corner in Spain!
