Remember that old travel guide image of Spain as a country of only bullfighting, flamenco dancing and mile after mile of sun-drenched beaches?

They're all still here of course, but anyone travelling to Spain will discover a world far beyond these stereotypical images. From the world's party capital Ibiza, to the overflowing art gallery that is Madrid, Spain satisfies all tastes, whether they are for egg and chips, or for jamon serrano. Busy beach resorts of the Costa Blanca, Mallorca and Tenerife keep the crowds happy with the three S's, Sun, Sea and Sangria, while some of Spain's best cities to visit like Valencia and Barcelona attract others with their culture, amazing architecture and world-class museums...

Festivals

...whatever reason you chose to come to Spain you're sure to have a good time

Of course if you get off the beaten track you'll find another world completely. Medieval cities like Murcia with their World Heritage sites, fairytale castles perched on hilltops and beautiful towns littered with Islamic architecture are waiting to be discovered. Even the countryside is in on the act. Believe it or not Spain has one of Europe's most varied landscapes, from impossibly lush pastures in the northern region of Asturias, to the stunning deserts of Andalucia in the south.

Clubbing in Ibiza

...the Spanish know how to throw a party

But for whatever reason you chose to come to Spain you're sure to have a good time while you're here. One thing that the Spanish have in common is a shared sense of fun. Well, what other country has festivals that include throwing millions of rotten tomatoes at each other or being chased around a city by a bull? Let's just say the Spanish know how to throw a party, so the best piece of travel advice is to jump right in and join them.

Tips

Spain was ruled by the Moors for over 800 years and has some of Europe's best Islamic sites. Check out the awe-inspiring Alhambra fortress in the mountains of Granada for the most stunning architecture in Spain.

Tenerife has the world's second biggest carnival after Rio. This is one of the most glamorous events in Europe, and because it's in Tenerife you can be assured of great weather.

3/4

For the most unusual buildings you'll see in Europe head to Barcelona and witness first hand the fairytale architecture of Anton Gaudi.

4/4

Make sure you sample Spain's cuisine known as tapas. These small bites come in all shapes and sizes and are available for free when you buy a drink in the local bars.
