Spain
is made up of diverse regions with a unique art, history and culture.
Visitors have been attracted to the Iberian Peninsula for thousands
of years and continue to enjoy the food and music that are a fundamental
aspect of Spanish life.
• On the East coast, built into the mountains above Barcelona, is
the historic Monserrat Monastery.
• Toledo, south of Madrid, has an intact medieval city with
impressive ramparts and numerous ancient gates. The architecture
is astounding and the attractions in the town rival any in Spain.
• A little further north and the mountains of the Pyrenees
are another stark contrast to the golden beaches for which Spain
is most famous.
• On the Bay of Biscay, which lies across the northern coast
of Spain, is Bilbao world famous for its postmodern Guggenheim Museum.
To the east is San Sebastien one of the most fashionable areas on
the bay whilst to the west is the pilgrimage centre of Santiago.
• At the foot of the Pyrenees for a week in July the village of
Pamplona hosts the St Fermin Festival. A celebration culminating
in the Bull Run, a tradition in which masses of people are chased
through the narrow streets of the town by stampeding bulls.
• Bizarre festivals are common throughout Spain and Valencia
is the stage for La Tomatina. The last Wednesday in August heralds
the appointed time for the entire town to engage in a massive
tomato fight.
• Above Granada, in the south, set against the Sierra Nevada mountain
range is the awe-inspiring La Alhambra. Constructed by Moorish kings
during the 13th and 14th centuries the La Alhambra contains numerous
palaces, gardens and fortifications.
• Further south and by far the most popular tourist destination
in Spain is the Costa del Sol. Resorts all along the coastline cater
for a wide range of interests from elite golf courses and designer
boutiques to ancient relics and artworks.
