spain
Spain has far more to it than its beaches. Andalucía has the Alhambra, Seville’s flamenco and the white villages of the mountains. Madrid has the Prado and a brilliant food scene, and Barcelona blends Gaudí with the Mediterranean.
In the north, San Sebastián is one of the best places to eat in Europe, and the Rioja vineyards are close by. Mallorca and Ibiza have quiet fincas as well as beach clubs.
Short flights from the UK make it perfect for a long weekend, and it rewards longer journeys too.
