Visit Spain

While resolutely turned towards modernity, Spain wishes to retain its delicious traditions. This is exactly what tourists appreciate. Thus, paella, sangria or bullfighting live harmoniously with tanning on fine sandy beaches or dancing evenings with the best DJs of the moment. 

Arab civilization has left many traces in everyday Spanish life (More than 1,300 Spanish words are of Arab origin). Spain is therefore a great country of cultural diversity and tourism where travelers can enjoy their own hobbies.

For cultural tourism, there is Andalusia, Seville, Cordoba, Granada, that will delight fans of Moorish castles, bullfighting tournaments or tapas. Furthermore, the capital Madrid, will enchant those who like visiting museums where works by master painters such as Rubens, Goya, etc. are on display.

For lazing around on the beach, nothing beats the Balearic Islands or the Canaries. Indeed, the Spanish islands like the Balearics ( Ibiza ) or the Canaries are truly attractive sites for tourists. Barcelona has no shortage of beaches. However, fishermen will be the neighbours of tourists who enjoy the wild coves.
In short, a holiday in Spain remains a rich experience.
