Key takeaways


Spain brings together striking architecture, historic cities, Mediterranean beaches and a celebrated food scene. From Gaudí's Barcelona to the Alhambra in Granada, there are several places to visit in Spain for travellers drawn to culture, history and coastline.


  • Explore Barcelona for Gaudí's architecture, Las Ramblas and the beaches.
  • Discover Granada for the UNESCO-listed Alhambra Palace.
  • Wander Seville for Andalusian squares, the Giralda and flamenco.
  • Visit Madrid for the Royal Palace and world-class art museums.
  • Relax in Malaga and San Sebastián for the coast and Basque cuisine.

  • Plan for spring or early autumn for the most pleasant weather.


Together, these destinations make Spain a varied base for cities, coast, history and food.

Spain occupies most of the Iberian Peninsula in southwestern Europe, with a coastline along both the Mediterranean and the Atlantic. It offers an unusual mix within one country, from the modernist architecture of Barcelona and the Moorish palaces of Andalusia to sunny beach resorts and distinct regional cultures.


Because the main cities are well connected by a fast, extensive rail network, Spain suits both a single-city break and a multi-stop trip. Many travellers pair Barcelona or Madrid with a swing through the south, or combine city sightseeing with time on the coast. Whether you come for the art, the history, the beaches or the food, the country rewards a flexible itinerary.

SeasonMonthsWhat makes it worth considering
SpringApril to JuneWarm, pleasant weather ideal for cities and sightseeing, with fewer crowds than summer.
SummerJuly to AugustHot inland, especially in the south, but peak season for the beaches and coastal towns.
AutumnSeptember to OctoberComfortable temperatures, thinner crowds and a good time for both cities and coast.
