Spain

With so much to offer, it’s safe to say just one trip to Spain will not be enough. Filled with architectural marvels, legendary art galleries, and mouth-watering cuisine, you might want to plan a series of trips throughout the next several years to cover it all.Explore Spain’s small villages and cities, including Seville, Granada, Valencia, Pampaneira, and Albarracin. Stroll through hidden courtyards or along the sun-soaked beaches. Visit Granada’s Alhambra and marvel at the terraced gardens created in the early 20th century. If you have time, do try and venture out to some of the more remote regions to capture some images of the limestone Picos de Europa or the plains of Andalusia.Spain’s multidimensional cities provide a variety of different activities for every interest. For example, while Barcelona is known for it’s spectacular food, wine, culture, and nightlife, it has plenty to offer the outdoor adventurer. Go kayaking or paddleboarding in the deep blue Mediterranean. Or enjoy the scenic wonders of Collserola Hills on mountain bike.Whatever your dreams, Spain will surely bring them to life.
