Spain holidays
The many regions of Spain offer strikingly different scenery, from the rugged green and rainy Atlantic coastline of Galicia in the north-west and the peaks of the Pyrenees in the north-east, across the high central plateaux of Castille-La Mancha and down to the hot Mediterranean hills of Andalucia in the far south.
It’s not just the landscape and climate that changes – they differ dramatically in character too. Several regions carry the status of an autonomous community and assert a very distinct cultural identity of their own, with their own flags, dialects and festivals.
With so much to explore, Spain is a country which can be visited again and again. Take a short break to vibrant cities such as San Sebastian, Barcelona, Madrid or Seville; tour a region on a self-drive or explore several regions and cities by train; focus your holiday on the particular gastronomy or art and architecture of a region; or combine your holiday to Spain with another neighbouring country such as France, Portugal or Morocco. The options are endless.
