Exciting, stylish and devoted to living the good life, Spain might fit your stereotypes but is certainly also a country more diverse than you could imagine.
Land
Spain´s varied landscapes will challenge your preconceptions- ranging from the mountain ranges of the Pyrenees and the snow-topped Sierra Nevada, a striking landmark on the flat plains of Andalucia, to the beautiful cliffs in the Northwest, and of course the typical Mediterranean beaches, the summer destination of choice. Despite Spain´s popularity amongst tourists having grown dramatically in recent years, charming undiscovered villages and hidden corners remain waiting for you to discover them.
Feast
Paella, tapas, jamón and olive oil are perhaps the best-known elements of Spanish cuisine and indeed Spanish cooking is deceptively simple with strong traditions passed down from generation to generation although an innovative twist and creativity shine through. A causal meal in a tapas bar or equally an elegant meal in a Michelin-star restaurant are both perhaps as enjoyable in their own way, and, in any case, reveal the wealth of gastronomic experiences offered in the country.
Art
Delve into Spain´s history through its art and architecture. Roman ruins, cathedrals and Islamic cultural gems tell of a powerful country in terms of wealth and knowledge. More recently the works of Dalí, Picasso and Gaudí reject norms and show that Spain´s future may yet be as original as its past.
But leaving aside history and future, this is a country that lives very much in the present, visible in the crowded nighttime streets buzzing with life or in the bold movements of a Flamenco performance, whatever it is, there´s no denying, this is Spain.
