Attractions

Spain is famous for sun, sand and football. But the real charm lies in the fascinating architecture, various art museums and galleries and a passion that spans centuries.

Go back in time with the fascinating Palacio Real and Museo del Prado in Madrid. The magnificent Alhambra palace in Granada is definitely worth a visit, as well as the World Heritage Sites Alcázar and the Christian cathedral in Seville.

Its party time and Barcelona offers weeklong fiestas during summer, with Valencia offering Las Fallas in spring.
