Spain is famous for its sun-soaked beaches, and with good reason. The Costa del Sol, Costa Brava and island gems like Majorca offer soft sands, sparkling seas, and everything from quiet coves to lively resort towns. Perfect for sunbathers, swimmers, and sunset-seekers alike.

Spain’s islands are packed with outdoor thrills and natural beauty. From hiking volcanic trails in the Canaries to cycling along Majorca’s coastline, there's something for every type of explorer. Think crystal-clear water, dramatic landscapes, and plenty of fresh air.

From golden beaches and Gothic cathedrals to late-night tapas and flamenco dancing, Spain is a destination that lives life with passion and colour. Whether you’re lounging on the coast, exploring ancient cities, or tucking into paella under the sun, Spain offers an irresistible blend of relaxation, culture and fiesta vibes. ¡Vamos!

 It’s Home to the World’s Oldest Restaurant

Madrid’s Sobrino de Botín holds the Guinness World Record as the world’s oldest restaurant—serving hungry diners since 1725! It’s even said that Goya worked there as a dishwasher before making it big as a painter. Go for the history, stay for the roast suckling pig.


Spain Has More Blue Flag Beaches Than Any Other Country

If you’re beach-obsessed, you’ve come to the right place. Spain has more Blue Flag beaches—certified for cleanliness, safety and sustainability—than anywhere else in the world. So whether you’re paddling with the kids or looking for a dreamy swim spot, you’re in safe, sparkling waters.


The Spanish Love Their Festivals (and Know How to Party)

Spain hosts some of the wildest and most colourful festivals in Europe. From La Tomatina (yes, that’s the giant tomato fight) to the running of the bulls in Pamplona and the spectacular flamenco-fuelled Feria de Abril in Seville, there’s always a reason to dance, feast and celebrate.
