Travel to Spain
Spain is one of the largest countries in Europe. It occupies four-fifths of the Iberian Peninsula. Thousands of tourists travel to Spain to witness the extraordinary geographical and cultural diversity that Spain has to offer. Tourists can travel to Spain at any point of the year.
While the Mediterranean beach resorts on the Costa Blanca, Costa Brava and Costa del Sol continue to attract sun seekers, the north coast is gradually gaining in popularity.
But there is a great deal more to Spain than the beaches. The terrain is amazingly diverse with a huge variety of landscapes. While in Spain, the tourists can experience the deciduous and coniferous forests, arid plains, salt marshes, rocky bays and coves, peaks, verdant river valleys and mountain streams.
One of the most pleasurable ways to discover Spain’s natural beauty and abundant wildlife is to visit one of the National Parks. Walks, hiking trails and jeep excursions enable visitors to explore marshes and wetlands, coastal dunes, isolated mountain peaks and Atlantic beaches.
The major national parks in mainland Spain are Coto de Donana (provinces of Seville and Huelva), Tablas de Daimiel (La Mancha), Ordesa (Huesca Pyrenees), Aigues Tortes (Lleida) and Montana de Covadonga (Picos de Europa).
Over the centuries, Spain’s indigenous and conquering peoples have left an indelible legacy. Cromlechs and cave paintings from the prehistoric period, temples and aqueducts from the Roman occupation, Romanesque churches, Moorish baths, mosques and fortresses, medieval cathedrals and castles, Renaissance and Baroque palaces, the modernist architecture of Antoni Gaudi and his contemporaries, as well as present-day masterpieces like the Guggenheim museum in Bilbao and the City of Arts and Sciences in Valencia.
