There isn’t just one Spain, but many. With its diversity of landscapes, cultures, languages (Castilian, Catalan, Basque), terroirs and cities, Spain offers something for everyone. Let’s venture into the beautiful, natural Spain of the interior, with its breathtaking landscapes, splendid monuments and fascinating lifestyles…
Discover Salamanca, Spain’s little Rome, or Toledo the medieval beauty perched on its promontory. Explore the rugged Castilian plateau, from Segovia to Leon, discovering magnificent cathedrals and extraordinary museums.
Taste the uniqueness of the Catalan soul and its artistic treasures, from Dali and Gaudi to Tapiès and Miro. Take the road to Santiago de Compostela to admire the beauty of rural Galicia, as verdant as the land of the Basques, to which they are so attached.
Or, finally, on a festive evening in Seville, Madrid or Barcelona, succumb to that dazzling joy of living that is the hallmark of the entire country. Because, in Spain, the nights are often more intense than the days. As you’ll have gathered, you’ll want to get out and meet the locals, visit the bodegas and feast on the cuisine.
Spain is not only diverse, it’s inexhaustible!
