Overview:
Spain is a country on the move, a
place of rapid change. High-speed railways have conquered the
country's mountainous terrain and many cities now have modern
metro and tram networks. But here, too, you will find a country
where time stands still, where Roman columns rise into a clear
blue sky, where crumbling Arab watchtowers maintain a lonely
vigil over vast and magnificent landscapes, and city plazas
where the baroque jostles with the modern to strike a uniquely
Spanish harmony.
Rich in history and natural beauty and with
more than a fair share of sunshine Spain is a year-round,
natural choice for many different kinds of holiday, from outdoor
adventures to world-class museums and art galleries to an
infinite variety of popular beaches and secluded coves. The
Spanish experience would be incomplete without joining in at
least one of its famous fiestas.
