Spain Travel Tips
Spain offers far more than sunshine and beaches. On the mainland, lively cities, mountain regions and broad landscapes alternate, while the Balearic and Canary Islands each have their own character. Our Spain travel tips include personal advice and travel stories for varied destinations between the Atlantic and Mediterranean.
City breaks combine easily with regional cuisine, markets and excursions. On islands such as Formentera, pale beaches, clear water and a slower daily rhythm take centre stage. With several climate zones, the best time to visit depends greatly on whether you are planning a city break, exploring the mainland or visiting a particular island.
We show you beautiful beaches, interesting cities and places that suit a relaxed escape or a longer journey. Familiar sights are combined with personal impressions and destinations where you can experience Spain at your own pace.
