Spain Holidays

if it’s in Spain, it’s done well. From the sun-drenched beaches of the Mediterranean coast and Pyrenees peaks to the cobbled stone streets of Madrid, Barcelona, and Seville, everything you experience in Spain will rank highly on your list of best experiences. Its world-famous food, architecture and sun-kissed coastlines are revered the world over, and their passionate approach to life makes Spain a captivating destination. Whatever the Spanish put their mind – and passion – to, something beautiful occurs.

Each region of Spain boasts its own traditions, heritage, and even languages, making it a country rich in diversity and sub-cultures. Flamenco dancing, bullfighting and fiestas are iconic emblems of broader Spanish culture, and its range of stunning architecture acts as a window in the world of the previous civilisations settled in the country – with Roman aqueducts, Gothic cathedrals, and Moorish palaces found across the country. The Sagrada Familia in Barcelona and the Alhambra in Granada also act as testaments to Spain’s artistic and architectural ingenuity, one of its most typical characteristics.

Spain’s stunning beaches, like those across Costa Brava and the Balearic Islands coast, are perfect for water sports and watching the sun set. Its cities are cultural hubs, with Barcelona famed for Gaudí imagination and Madrid boasting the Prado Museum, filled with vast art collections. Flamenco shows of fire and passion make Seville a hotspot, and historic Alcázar offers a taste of traditional Andalusian culture dating back to 200 BC.  

On the football pitch, Real Madrid are synonymous with success. The newly renovated Santiago Bernabeu is a football cathedral, home to the 15-time European Champions and some of the world’s best players. On the east coast of the country, rivals Barcelona revolutionised football with a style of play that generated some of the most celebrated team performances in sporting history. When you’re in Spain, be sure to catch a match – it’s a way of life for Spaniards.

Foodies can call Spain their second home. From tapas in Granada to paella in Valencia, there’s no cuisine that the Spanish haven’t mastered. Their cooking principles are simple and effective – use fresh produce, cook with passion, and serve with love.
 
Spain's zest for life rubs off on every visitor. The spirit of Spain is reflected in its people’s love for football and festivals, their deep sense of community, and their enduring pride in their heritage.
