Spain Travel - Hotels, Sightseeing Tours, Attractions, Information

Geographically, Spain's diversity is immense. There are endless tracts of wild and crinkled sierra to explore, as well as some spectacularly rugged stretches of coast between the beaches.
Culturally, the country is littered with superb old buildings, from Roman aqueducts and Islamic palaces to Gothic cathedrals. Almost every second village has a medieval castle. Spain has been the home of some of the world's great artists - El Greco, Velázquez, Goya, Dalí, Picasso - and has museums and galleries to match. The country vibrates with music of every kind - from the drama of flamenco to the melancholy lyricism of the Celtic music and gaitas (bagpipes) of the northwest.

Travel to The Balearic Islands - The four main Balearic islands - Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera - have maintained their individuality. Beyond the 24-hour parties are Gothic cathedrals, Stone Age ruins, fishing villages and endless orchards of oranges and olives. The Balearic Islands offer fine beaches, relentless sunshine, good food and wild nightlife. Every year are invaded every summer by a massive multinational force of hedonistic party animals and sun seekers.

Travel to Barcelona (Region Catalonia) - As the capital of Catalonia and Spain’s gateway to the Mediterranean, cosmopolitan Barcelona is also among focal points of European tourism, galvanized by the 1992 Olympic Games. Landmark buildings and world-class museums include architect Antoni Gaudí's Sagrada Família, the Picasso Museum, the Gothic Cathedral and Les Rambles, the tree-lined promenade running through the heart of the old Gothic Quarter.

Travel to Bilbao (Region Basque Country) - Bilbao is a lively and vibrant provincial capital considered to be the center of finance and culture. It makes up the majority of what is known as the Greater Bilbao metropolitan area, and has an approximate number of close to one million people residing in the Lower Nervión river valley. The aforementioned river is very important because both of its banks continue to be the source of life for the capital as well as the province. The modern highway network keeps Bilbao connected to the rest of Spain and Europe. It is also the proud and permanent venue of the International Samples Trade Fair. The international airport found in the Cantabrian seaboard made by the renowned Santiago Calatrava is also an invaluable asset of Bilbao.

Travel to The Canary Islands - The Canary Islands are set off the coast of western Africa, the archipelago consists of 7 islands and 6 islets and is divided into two provinces. At the east, the first one is called Las Palmas de Gran Canaria with 3 islands - Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote and the islets. At the west is Tenerife, La Palma, La Gomera and El Hierro which form the second province named Santa Cruz de Tenerife. The islands belong to Spain and are therefore part of the European Union. The Canaries enjoy hot sunny weather all year round, duty free prices and are home to some of the best beaches in Europe.

Travel to Cordoba (Region Andalucia) - for the miraculous Mezquita, which, depending on your perspective, is a wonderful blending of Islamic and Christian architecture, or an absurd display of vandalism by the latter on the former. Either way, a visit to the Mezquita - or the "Holy Cathedral Church (former Mosque of Cordoba)", as it is described in local tourist literature - is a highlight of any trip to Spain. Far from creating awe with steepling, vaulting verticality, the mosque created by Abd al-Rahman I is a maze of low, red-and-white striped arches, stretching in all directions. Truly amazing. And the bird watching along the nearby river is excellent, too.

Travel to Granada (Region Andalucia) - Granada is one of Spain’s most visited cities by tourists from all over the world. This city, which was for some centuries the heart of Al -Andalus or the Moorish Andalusia, offers visitors dream gardens, typical inns to taste the well-known cured ham from Trevelez, and the opportunity to go up to the mountain of Sacromonte, the birthplace of flamenco. There are plenty of reasons to fall in love with this city.

Travel to Madrid (Region Madrid) - The capital of Spain, located in the heart of the peninsula and right in the center of the Castillian plain 646 meters above sea level, has a population of over three million. A cosmopolitan city, a business center, headquarters for the Public Administration, Government, Spanish Parliament and the home of the Spanish Royal Family, Madrid also plays a major role in both the banking and industrial sectors. Most of its industry is located in the Southern fringe of the city, where important textile, food and metal working factories are clustered. Madrid is characterized by intense cultural and artistic activity and a very lively nightlife.

Travel to Malaga (Region Andalucia) - Malaga, a tourist hot spot, with plenty of beaches such as the Costa del Sol, but with other attractions, such as the Alcazaba fortress, the botanical gardens and the new, backstreet Picasso Museum, dedicated to the works of the city's most famous son. So much to see, so little time. One solution is to locate centrally in an area such as the Subbetica, making day trips to the bigger cities and coming home to the setting sun, a bottle of wine and a view of the olive groves. There are hundreds of pretty, unspoilt villages to choose from.

Travel to Santiago de Compostela (Region Galicia) -  World Heritage City and capital of Galicia, is the final landmark on the St. James pilgrimage route. Centuries of splendour and development have left us an urban layout in which the medieval Christian heritage is mixed with monumental Baroque buildings.

Travel to Seville (Region Andalucia) - Regarded by many as the Andalucían capital and a leading honeymoon destination, Seville's charm continues to cast a spell today as it did thousands of years ago when the first Phoenician set foot on this land. Famous for bullfighting, spectacular flamenco, a strong cultural identity and fabulous architectural treasures, it is no wonder why the locals once believed that Seville was the capital of the world during Spain's Golden Age when wealth from the New World was transported here.

Travel to Valencia (Region Valencian Community) - There are so many cultural and historical monuments, tourists can easily spend a day or two strolling the narrow, cobblestone streets, enjoying the cafes and wandering into museums. Getting around is quick and easy, thanks to five metro lines, a tram line and an urban bus network. Cabs must be called, not hailed. Valencia's Mediterranean topless-optional public beach -- four miles long and 100 yards wide -- has plenty of room for volleyball, pedal boats and lots of bare skin. A wide promenade accommodates strollers, roller skaters and cyclists. When summer days become summer nights, the crowds move to the terrace restaurants, bars and night markets.

Once away from the holiday costas, you could only be in Spain. In the cities, narrow twisting old streets suddenly open out to views of daring modern architecture, while spit-and-sawdust bars serving wine from the barrel rub shoulders with blaring, glaring discos.

Travel is easy, accommodation plentiful, the climate benign, the people relaxed, the beaches long and sandy, the food and drink easy to come by and full of regional variety. More than 50 million foreigners a year visit Spain, yet you can also travel for days and hear nothing but Spanish.

Spain Tourist Attractions

Spain, one of the largest countries in Europe, occupies four-fifths of the Iberian Peninsula. A land of extraordinary geographical and cultural diversity, it has much to offer the tourist. 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: 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. At certain times of the year the skies are filled with migrating birds heading for North Africa and the parks are also the habitat of a wealth of indigenous flora and fauna. Special mention should be made of rare and endangered species like the royal eagle, the capercaillie (woodcock) and the Pyrenean mountain goat. The major national parks in mainland Spain are: Coto de Doñana (provinces of Seville and Huelva), Tablas de Daimiel (La Mancha), Ordesa (Huesca Pyrenees), Aigües Tortes (Lleida) and Montaña 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 Gaudí and his contemporaries, as well as present-day masterpieces like the Guggenheim museum in Bilbao and the City of Arts and Sciences in Valencia. more about the tourist attractions in Spain....

Visas: Spain is one of 15 member countries of the Schengen Convention, an agreement whereby all EU (European Union) member countries (except the UK and Ireland) plus Iceland and Norway abolished checks at internal borders in 2000. The other EU countries are Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal and Sweden. EU, Norwegian and Icelandic nationals need no visa, regardless of the length or purpose of their visit to Spain. However, if they stay beyond 90 days they are required to register with the police. Legal residents of one Schengen country (regardless of their nationality) do not require a visa for another Schengen country. Nationals of many other countries, including Australia, Canada, Israel, Japan, New Zealand, Switzerland and the USA, do not need a visa for tourist visits of up to 90 days in Spain, although some of these nationalities (including Australians and Canadians) may be subject to restrictions in other Schengen countries and should check with consulates of all Schengen countries they plan to visit. Nationals of those countries wishing to work or study in Spain may need a specific visa, so should contact a Spanish consulate before travel. The standard tourist visa issued by Spanish consulates is the Schengen visa, valid for up to 90 days. A Schengen visa issued by one Schengen country is generally valid for travel in all other Schengen countries. Those needing a visa must apply in person at the consulate in the country where they are resident. You may be required to provide proof of sufficient funds, an itinerary or hotel bookings, return tickets and a letter of recommendation from a host in Spain. Issue of the visa does not guarantee entry. You can apply for no more than two visas in any 12-month period and they are not renewable once in Spain. Visas are free for spouses and children of EU nationals. Various transit visas also exist.

When to Go

Spain can be enjoyable any time of year. The ideal months to visit are May, June and September (plus April and October in the south). At these times you can rely on good-to-excellent weather, yet avoid the extreme heat – and the main crush of Spanish and foreign tourists – of July and August. But there's decent weather in some parts of Spain virtually year round. Winter along the southern and southeastern Mediterranean coasts is mild, while in the height of summer you can retreat to the northwest, to beaches or high mountains anywhere to escape excessive heat. The best festivals are mostly concentrated between Semana Santa (the week leading up to Easter Sunday) and September to October.

Events

In true Spanish style, cultural events are almost inevitably celebrated with a wild party and a holiday. Among the festivals to look out for are La Tamborrada in San Sebastián on 19 January, a short but rowdy event where the whole town dresses up and goes berserk. Carnaval takes place throughout the country in late February; the wildest is said to be in Sitges. In March, Valencia has a week-long party known as Las Fallas, which is marked by all-night dancing, drinking, first-class fireworks and colourful processions. Semana Santa (Holy Week) is the week leading up to Easter Sunday, and is marked by parades of holy images through the streets; Seville is the place to be if you can get accommodation. In late April, Seville's Feria de Abril is a week-long party counterbalancing the religious fervour of Semana Santa.

The last Wednesday in August sees the Valencian town of Buñol go bonkers with La Tomatina, in which the surplus from its tomato harvest is sploshed around in a friendly riot. The Running of the Bulls (Sanfermines) in Pamplona in July is perhaps Spain's most famous festival. Along the north coast, staggered through the first half of August, is Semana Grande, another week of heavy drinking and hangovers.
