From Mallorca’s rugged Serra de Tramuntana, and Gaudí’s wonderfully whimsical architecture in Barcelona, to the mouthwatering tapas served down tiny side streets in Madrid’s city centre, Spain truly has something for everyone. Not forgetting the beaches; Spain is home to some of Europe’s most coveted coastal destinations, where golden sands meet crystal-clear waters, drawing sun-seekers from around the globe.
