Spain

WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM SPAIN?

Spectacular and always different landscapes, traditions and folklore, cities embraced by the mountains and overlooking the sea.

Spain is a fascinating country that extends from the green hills of the North to the borders of the Mediterranean where European culture meets Arab culture passing through the fjords and slopes of Galicia, the mountains of Asturias, the Basque countries and the cultural liveliness of cities such as Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia.

It is a place where ancient traditions are kept in the alleys of the white villages of Andalusia and the joy of living is shared at the table in a riot of flavors.

It is a country where sacred and profane meet in the shadow of the ancient cathedrals and umbrellas that color the beaches of the coast and the Balearic islands.

It is a place where you can get in touch with nature by walking along ancient pilgrimage routes or walking on the wild and volcanic beaches of the Canary Islands. The wishes of each traveler will be satisfied.
