Spain

SPECTACULAR BEACHES, MOUNTAINTOP
CASTLES, MEDIEVAL VILLAGES,
STUNNING ARCHITECTURE and some
of the most celebrated restaurants on
the planet – Spain has an allure that few
destinations can match.
There’s much to see and do amid the
enchanting landscapes that inspired Picasso
and Velàzquez. You can spend your days
feasting on seafood in coastal Galician towns,
feel the heartbeat of Spain at soul-stirring
flamenco shows or hike across the flower-
strewn meadows of the mountains. The
journeys in this region offer something for
everyone: beach lovers, outdoor adventurers,
family travellers, music fiends, foodies and
those simply wanting to delve into Spain’s rich
art and history.
