Spain is a beautiful anomaly and fascinating contradiction – it mixes the old and the new, traditions and modernity, vibrancy and humbleness, while also being one of the most sophisticated places you will ever visit. The time moves slower and everyone runs late. And while Spain is a respite for the soul – it is also filled with fiestas, bullfights, and a breed of chaos that results in the locals needing daily siestas.
Spain Travel Guides
Located along the Iberian Peninsula besides Portugal and France, Spain has cultivated cultural influence from the Mediterranean, the Celtics, and the ancient Romans. It is the birthplace of guitar, cava, tapas, and a slower pace of life, resulting in a unique balance that offers the best of many worlds.
Whether you want to see the famous Gaudí exhibits of Barcelona, tour the Medieval castles in Segovia, sip wine in the Rioja region, shop through lively Madrid, lounge on the beaches of Ibiza, or dance flamenco until the sun comes up in Seville – the Catalonian spirit runs deep no matter where you visit, or what time of year.
