Spain

Highlights

There truly is something for everyone in Spain. Along with towering gothic cathedrals, ancient Roman ruins, and flamenco, Spain offers world-class art museums, superb cuisine and wine, great shopping, and bustling nightlife. But spend at least one day in Spain as the locals typically do: strolling in the park, eating paella, sipping wine in the shade at an outdoor café or eating tapas with wine until late at night.

Best Time of Year to Visit

Spain has three distinct weather regions. But the early part of summer and beginning of fall are generally good times to visit most regions.
