Spain
Explore Spain
Spain has a way of pulling you in without trying too hard. Life happens outdoors here, from long lunches that turn into late afternoons, to evening strolls through lively plazas where everyone seems to know where they’re going (or at least looks like they do). It’s a country that balances energy and ease beautifully, whether you’re wandering historic streets, sitting seaside with a drink in hand, or hopping between cities that all feel completely different from one another.
What really makes Spain special is how much variety it offers without ever feeling overwhelming. You can move from bold architecture and world-class museums to sleepy villages, beaches, and vineyards in no time at all. Add incredible food, a strong café culture, and a pace of life that encourages you to savour things properly, and it’s easy to see why Spain works for almost every kind of trip.
Best time to visit
Spain is one of those places that works almost year-round, but the experience changes a lot depending on when you go. When the weather is warm but not overpowering, days are perfect for city wandering and sightseeing. It’s a great time to enjoy places like Seville, Madrid, or Barcelona at a relaxed pace. As the heat really kicks in, life shifts toward the coast and the islands. Beach towns come alive, dinners start late, and the whole country leans into a slow, sun-soaked rhythm. When temperatures cool again, Spain feels calmer and more local, ideal for food-focused trips and cultural breaks. Even in the cooler months, many parts of the country stay mild, making Spain an easy destination whenever you decide to go.
must-try foods and drinks
Spain is all about bold, vibrant flavours and social dining. Tapas are a must – like patatas bravas, jamón ibérico and gambas al ajillo that you’ll want to share (or maybe not). Paella is iconic, especially if you’re near the coast and churros with chocolate make a sweet morning or evening treat. For drinks, nothing beats a refreshing sangria on a warm afternoon, an ice-cold cerveza, or a glass of local wine, which varies beautifully from region to region. Eating and drinking in Spain isn’t just fuel – it’s part of the day, the culture and the fun.
