Look no farther than the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range on the island, on our India    to Spain package which runs along the northern shore and descends into the craggy Cap de Formentor, or the expanses of green that are covered in olive, almond, and carob trees in the interior for example.

Additionally, on our Spain package deals, the oranges' hue is as rich as their flavor. Those who claim that this Spanish seaside city lacks charm may not have ever strolled beneath the citrus trees that drop blooms into the cobblestone walkways or heard the murmur of the Valencian dialect among the product stalls of the Mercado Central.

Ibiza is both what you expect it to be and much more.

The Canary Islands 

You are correct to compare Spain's Canary Islands to a paradise in the tropics. All seven of the islands in this archipelago, which are situated in the North Atlantic Ocean off the southwest coast of Morocco, boast ideal stretches of beachfront that extend into azure waters. Diverse beaches attract surfers, windsurfers, scuba divers, and sunbathers who come to enjoy the rough waves, colorful underwater environment, and plush sands. Additionally, if you travel to some of the larger islands, such as Gran Canaria, Tenerife, and Lanzarote, you will discover the necessary opulent resorts. Gourmet dining establishments, expansive golf courses, and front-row beach access are features of these luxurious hotels.

However, we contend that the four natural parks in the Canaries are just as important to the island as its beaches and vacation spots that are also part of our all inclusive Spain vacations. For instance, consider the Tenerife island's Parque Nacional del Teide: Visitors may walk up its third-largest volcano on the planet. Timanfaya National Park is located in Lanzarote, and visitors may ride camels over the landscape, which has a lunar-like appearance. You'll undoubtedly feel like the cat that swallowed the canary once you learn about this combination of stunning beaches, opulent lodgings, and extraordinary natural parks.

Santiago de Compostela 

Galicia's capital, Santiago de Compostela, serves as the finish line for the over a thousand-year-old Camino de Santiago (Way of Saint James) pilgrimage.

Even non-pilgrims can appreciate the ethereal splendor of this city in northern Spain with its clear Celtic roots. The opulent Hostal dos Reis Católicos, which was previously a pilgrims' hostel and is said to be the world's oldest hotel, is located on the Plaza del Obradoiro, the city's pulsating heart.

Basque Country

Northern Spain contains an independent region known as the Basque Country. Lava, Biscay, and Gipuzkoa provinces make up this region. The majority of people in the Basque Country speak the Basque language, often called Euskara. It is the official language of the Basque Country.

With a long history of industrial development, the area is well-known for its shipyards, steel mills, and heavy industries. Additionally, the Basque Country is well known for its gastronomy, especially its seafood and pintxos (tapas). One of the most significant museums of contemporary art in the world, the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, is located in the Basque Country.

San Sebastian

San Sebastian's remarkable offers make it difficult to imagine that it isn't more well-known than its nearby neighbors Barcelona or Madrid. However, this beachfront tourist town merits the same respect accorded to Spain's most populated cities. If San Sebastian's top-notch culinary options don't first kidnap visitors' taste buds, its ageless beauty has a way of lulling them into a state of trance. A cultural experience that differs from what some people would consider the standard in Spain can be found in the Basque Country. Bullfighting and flamenco aren't as popular cultural pursuits in this country as pintxo bar hopping is. While siestas are still observed and Spanish is still widely used, San Sebastian boasts the greatest percentage of multilingual people in the city, and opt to surf in their spare time.

Through her many visits during the 19th and 20th centuries, the former Queen Maria Cristina helped to popularize this place. Spaniards now swarm to San Sebastian's cooler coastlines for relief when the southern heat gets intolerable. But regardless of whether you've heard of San Sebastian or not, or who came before you, what makes it so intriguing is its ability to retain a small-town atmosphere. San Sebastian has isolated areas along the coast, in the middle of little streets, and atop its well-known mountains that give the impression that the area is all yours.

Alicante

The laid-back Spanish city of Alicante, which is a favorite among the party crowd, is located about 100 miles south of Valencia on the Costa Blanca (White Coast). Travelers are most likely to be gathered at the Explanada de Espaa, sporting resort attire, holding beverages, and swaying to house music. The beaches, particularly San Juan Beach, are the primary attraction throughout the day. San Juan Beach, one of Spain's top beaches, with warm seas, beautiful sands, and roughly 330 days of sunlight annually. While Alicante has some notable cultural sites, such as the Archaeological Museum of Alicante, the major draw is to unwind and have a good time. As a result, visualize the sun on your skin, the sand between your toes,  grilled fish on your plate, sangria in your hand, lively music in your ears and a medieval castle, Renaissance cathedral or modern fountain before your eyes… Alicante.

Marbella

Marbella (pronounced mar-BAY-ya) is a city and vacation spot situated on Spain's southern Costa del Sol. It is bordered on three sides by the Mediterranean Sea and the Sierra Blanca Mountains. Luxurious resorts, glittering luxury shops, trendy eateries, and relics of old Andalusia may be found between them in the city's Old Quarter's winding cobblestone lanes.

Ronda is perched on an impressive gorge that divides the town. Cross the Puente Nuevo, a stunning bridge constructed in the 18th century, to go across the gorge. You can see the Guadalevn River and El Tajo Canyon below. Visit the Plaza de Toros de Ronda, the ancient old town, and the Baos rabes, well-preserved Arab baths from the 13th and 14th centuries, after taking in your surroundings from the Puente Nuevo.

Menorca

For those looking to visit the Balearic Islands but avoid Ibiza and Mallorca's crowds, the smaller sister island of Mallorca is a good choice. Cala Mitjana, Cala Macarelleta, Cala Turqueta, and Cala Pregonda are some of the island's busiest beaches, according to visitors. Menorca has the same kinds of breathtaking beaches as other Balearic Islands (think: white sands overlooking beautiful blue waters).

Things to do in Spain:

Go on a tapas crawl through Madrid

You should try as many tapas—tiny sampling of Spanish food—as you can while you're in the country. Although tapas are available all across the country, Madrid is one of the greatest cities to eat a lot! Going out for tapas, say locals, is one of the most authentically Spanish experiences you can have. You may go from bar to bar, munching on delectable tapas that come with every beverage you purchase, and sipping sangria till dawn. If Madrid is not on your travel plans, consider Bilbao and San Sebastian instead, where pintxos, sometimes known as tapas, are unavoidable and simple to fall in love with.

Catch a Flamenco show in Seville

Catch a Flamenco show in Seville for a fun evening you won't soon forget. Seville, the capital of Spain's Andalusia province, is the location to take in this vibrant art form. Flamenco, a musical style that combines song, dance, and guitar, evolved through the ages from the melodies of Roma immigrants who came to Spain from northwest India. There are several locations in Seville that have fantastic, genuine flamenco, like the incredibly hip Casa del Flamenco. Remember to shout "ole!" at the conclusion of each set if you want to blend in with the neighborhood. You can also catch an amazing Flamenco show at Corral de la Moreria in Madrid.

Marvel at the fantasy of Gaudí's Park Güell

The Parque Güell in Barcelona, created by the renowned architect Antoni Gaudi, is filled with magnificent gardens, brightly colored structures, and enormous lizards that watch over brilliant fountains. Locals love visiting this 100-year-old UNESCO Globe Heritage Site, which is absolutely unique to Spain and the whole world. The park is large, so you'll have to go a good distance to see everything there is to see. To avoid the crowds and the heat as well as to ensure that you are not pressed for time, it is a good idea to get an early start. Enjoy, bring drink, and wear comfortable shoes!

See the amazing Moorish arches in Córdoba's ancient mosque

The Mezquita de Córdoba, also known as the Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba, is one of Andalusia, a region in southern Spain, as one of the most remarkable works of architecture. Under Moorish domination, this UNESCO World Heritage Site was first constructed as the city's primary mosque. Following the Catholic Reconquista, it was later converted into a cathedral. You'll feel as though you're traveling through a beautiful forest with a rich history thanks to its 850 Moorish pillars, which are capped with double arches decorated with candy cane stripes and subsequent Gothic extensions. It is lovely and a complete pleasure to explore this representation of the Islamic splendor of Al-Andalus.

Party at an amazing Spanish festival 

Spain has a history of thrilling, one-of-a-kind festivals, and you may attend any time of year. The following festivals, according to locals, are some of the greatest and liveliest ones conducted annually: The Tapas Route in Frigiliana. At the end of August, the municipality of Frigiliana hosts a sizable celebration to honor its diversity in terms of cuisine, music, and artwork. The Ruta de la Tapas (Route of Tapas) is the festival's main event, when participants may take a tapas crawl across the town and sample food from nearby eateries for about €2. The Bol Tomatina. Thousands of people visit the little village of Buol in August for the Tomatina Tomato War, which is an epic food fight. Early on, the genuine tomato war begins. The actual tomato fight starts early in the morning, but arrive the night before and party in the streets with all of the locals in preparation for the big day.

Haro's La Batalla de Vino. A colorful and crazy celebration called the Batalla de Vino (Battle of Wine) takes place in the hamlet of Haro towards the end of June. People from all around the world come to the village that makes wine to fight wars with wine! Spanish red wine from the renowned Rioja area is sprayed upon the audience in bucketfuls from sprayers. The night before the festival, revelers frequently congregate in Haro's alleyways to celebrate.

Have a meal at the world's oldest restaurant

Would you want to eat where Goya allegedly did the dishes when he was a child? That is the age of Botn. The oldest restaurant in the world according to Guinness World Records was founded in 1725 on Calle Cava Baja in Madrid. In operation for almost 400 years, Botn has been sustained by its delectable cuisine. Try their specialty dish, a whole suckling pig that has been crisped in a wood-burning oven after being packed with aromatics and covered in white wine.

Discover the magnificence of La Sagrada Familia

La Sagrada Familia, the recognizable basilica that has been under building since the late 1800s, is another one of Gaud's creations that commands attention in Barcelona. (But that doesn't mean it hasn't continued to be a must-see location in Spain.) The spiritual and the natural are linked, according to Gaud, and this fantastical realm of gorgeous stained glass, "melting" columns, and mind-bending patterns reflects that idea. Once completed, which is presently projected for 2026 and has been a long time coming, this magnificent Roman Catholic church will rise to become the highest holy place in all of Europe. At this pace, though, we won't believe it until we see it!

Get lost in the Moorish Halls of La Alhambra

A visit to the Granada highlands will serve as a reminder of the influence the Moors had on Iberia for 700 years. The Moorish stronghold known as the Alhambra is a must-see attraction in Spain and one of the most obvious examples of Islam's influence on the Iberian Peninsula. During the final Muslim dynasties in Spain, this palace and castle complex guarded the city's residents against Christian conquest. As you wander around the Alhambra's horseshoe-shaped courtyards, lovely gardens, and breathtaking arabesques, you'll feel as though you've gone back in time.

Stroll through Toledo's Jewish quarter

Toledo, a fascinating city where several cultures have traditionally coexisted in peace, is only a short drive from Madrid. Wandering around Toledo's old walled neighborhoods, which are home to monuments from the Jewish, Muslim, and Christian civilizations, is one of the greatest ways to learn about the city's illustrious multicultural heritage. The historic Jewish neighborhood of Toledo, with its winding cobblestone alleys and synagogues, is one of the city's most intriguing areas. One of these synagogues may be the oldest synagogue still existing in Europe, but this claim is debatable.

Drink Spain’s most coveted wines in La Rioja

Spanish wines are without a doubt some of the greatest in the world, and the La Rioja area is renowned worldwide for its vineyards, which produce some of the most sought-after bottles on the market. Locals advise visiting Bodegas Muga if you visit Haro, the location of La Batalla del Vino, the largest wine competition in the world. In addition to producing top-notch wine, Bodegas Muga is one of the few wineries left that still builds its own barrels. La Rioja is home to several outstanding vineyards (as well as those that are quite popular with tourists; be sure to ask a local for recommendations on which ones to visit).

Visit the Prado National Museum

The Spanish royal collection is kept at the Prado (Museo Nacional del Prado), which is Spain's recognized national museum. Thousands of pieces of art by hundreds of painters, including Bosch, Titian, El Greco, Rubens, Velázquez, and Goya, may be found in the permanent collection of the Prado. The Garden of Earthly Delights by Bosch and Las Meninas by Velázquez are two of the most well-known works in the permanent collection at the Prado. The Prado is a museum in the heart of Madrid that you may visit for a fee with a ticket, but you can also go there for free on certain days and times. In order to not miss the chance to see some of Spain's most famous works of art, consider visiting the Picasso Museum in Malaga or the Dali Museum in Figueres if you aren't going to Madrid.
