Immerse yourself in the rich regional diversity of Spain
‘A Land of Contrasts’ – a well-worn cliché but never truer than in Spain.
From the verdant mountains and surf-washed coast of northern Spain through to the sub-tropical heat and Mediterranean beaches of Andalucia, passing through the high-and-dry plains of Inland Spain – landscapes, culture, gastronomy, even the people and the way they dress, vary enormously from region to region, forming a fascinating tapestry with endless possibilities to discover and explore.
Romans, Visigoths, Moors and Christians on conquest – all have left their mark. Marvel at the Roman remains in Catalonia, Castilla and Extremadura; the early Romanesque churches in the Spanish Pyrenees and Asturias or the awe-inspiring Moorish palaces of Sevilla and Granada.
Each touring region is like a country in itself, perhaps requiring a week or two to do it full justice, but all are well connected these days making cross-regional itineraries, sampling multiple cultures in one trip, a realistic proposition for a marvellous road trip!
Wherever you go Spain’s famous hospitality awaits as well as regional gastronomy and delicious local wines!
Real Travel within easy reach
Numerous flights from the UK direct to all regions of Spain mean that the country has never been easier to get to.
Direct flights to the larger cities like Madrid, Bilbao, Sevilla, Barcelona or Santiago de Compostela make point-to-point touring in Spain easy. Low-cost options to smaller airports make all areas accessible and why not take advantage of connections designed for the hotspots such as Málaga (Costa del Sol) or Reus (Costa Dorada) as a gateway to the more interesting regions we love to explore.
9 ferries a week connect the UK and Ireland direct to northern Spain, so cruise to Spain with your own car and enjoy circular itineraries stretching as far as Porto, the Costa Brava or Toledo – or explore the Picos de Europa, straight from the ferry port.
