The Place

Spain vacations aren't necessarily what you'd expect! The popular image of sipping sangria while watching a bull fight or flamenco is giving way to images of a vibrant multifaceted country and culture. Discover the green hills of Cantabria, the medieval towns of the interior, and the innovative culinary and design scene of Barcelona. Definitely visit the Alhambra and Mezquita, soak up the sun on Costa Brava beaches, but to really make the most of the Spanish holidays, spread your wings.
