Spain

Must-see Spanish Attractions

 1. Andalucia: incredible scenery, sublime architecture, fabulous cities and wild undiscovered countryside – Andalucia has it all. The Sierra Nevada boasts rugged mountains, fertile valleys and forests of chestnut and oak. Ronda oozes old school charm and the cities of Granada and Seville parade exquisite Moorish art.

2. Picos de Europa: this is the setting for some spectacular limestone mountains and home to an astonishing diversity of flora and fauna. A comparatively small area on the Iberian Peninsula, the Picos is home to a large number of vultures – eagles and kites – as well as the odd wolf and bear. Its wild scenery are the big draw for many visitors who come not just for the Walking but also for activity holidays full of caving, canoeing, canyoning and climbing.

3. Mediterranean Coast: in the upland areas behind the seaside development of Benidorm lie the untouched hills of the Sierra de Aitana and the Valls de la Marina. These limestone ranges offer superb walking in a sunny but mild climate – a perfect escape in the winter months.
