Set on Europe’s Iberian Peninsula between the Atlantic Sea and the Mediterranean Sea, Spain typically conjures up images of matadors, sangria, flamenco dancers, beaches and paella.

Spain’s real attraction is to be found in its passionate people and its outstanding natural beauty and it pays any visitor to explore Spain’s magnificent interior.

Even along the well-beaten tourist tracks, there are authentic Spanish experiences to be had, traditional local dishes to sample and idyllic villages of timeless charm to explore.

Like the country’s famous tapas, Spain itself is a veritable smorgasbord of thriving cities, bizarre festivals, panoramic views and breath-taking beaches - rendering it a beautiful and beguiling country unlike any other.
