About Spain
Spain is a land of contrasts and passions. Here Roman heritage, Moorish luxury, Gothic cathedrals and avant-garde Gaudí modernism blend together. Each region is unique: from green Galicia to sunny Andalusia, from Catalan Barcelona to Castilian Madrid.
The Spanish rhythm of life is siesta after lunch, tapas bars with friends until late, passionate flamenco and endless fiestas. Here people know how to enjoy life, and this mood is contagious to every guest.
Spanish gastronomy is a journey in itself: jamón, paella, gazpacho, Basque Country pintxos and, of course, sangria. The beaches of Costa Brava, Costa del Sol and the Balearic Islands are recognized as among the best in Europe.

Travel Tips
1
Book Sagrada Familia and Alhambra tickets 2-3 months in advance — they sell out quickly!
2
Lunch in Spain is at 2-3 PM, dinner after 9 PM. Adjust to the local rhythm.
3
Try tapas at different bars — it's a whole culture. Order 2-3 tapas at each place.
4
Renfe (Spanish railways) offers excellent AVE high-speed trains between cities.

In summer, avoid Andalusia — it's very hot. Better visit the north or islands.
