Spain

A destination of fiesta dancers, flamenco guitars, matadors and mind boggling architecture.
 
Spain travel offers a richness and complexity that may surprise. All the tempting postcard fantasy pictures are there in reality, side-by-side with other, less-expected ones.

Travelling through Spain you may come across fiesta dancers in a village square, a young man practicing flamenco guitar, a medieval Arab fortress, and windmills so enormous Don Quixote could be forgiven for thinking they were giants.

There’s also the Spain’s world famous Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, its mind-bending shapes like those of no other museum elsewhere, just as the exuberant architecture of Gaudi’s Sagrada Familia in Barcelona makes it like no other church in the world.

You may see ultra-cool young Madrilenos togged out in urban chic, talking endlessly on their cell phones; international businesspeople hurrying to appointments; and tourists and golfers of many nations flocking to Spain’s spectacular countryside and balmy beaches. There are super-fast trains, and equally there are villages where produce comes to market via donkey. The road system in Spain is well-maintained and easy to negotiate and this makes hiring a car a very viable option of travel.

Spain today is a vibrant member of the European Union that has transformed itself from a remote backwater to a modern nation, all within living memory. A Spain travel experience is sure to impress you with its contrasts, colours and vibrant spirit.
