Spain

Spain Highlights

The quaint town of Malgrat de Mar perfectly illustrates the country’s culture – with its cobbled streets, charming shops, and local markets, its quintessentially Spanish features make it the perfect destination for a fantastic break. The lovely Central Beach with its gorgeous, clear-blue waters is one of Spain’s many blue flag-awarded beaches. The country is well-known for its coastline, like the Costa Brava, scaling the shores from near Barcelona to the border with France, and is renowned for its charming villages, rocky peaks and gorgeous bays. If you wish to explore the Spanish cities, there is the capital of Spain’s Catalonia region, Barcelona. In the heart of the city lies the iconic Gothic Quarter, Barri Gotic, mixing old-Europe streets with lively modern attractions. This is also the perfect place to shop, and, with the large boulevard Las Ramblas, you’ll never be bored! The grandeur of Spain should not be underestimated – like the Aqueduct of Segovia, the city’s best and most important architectural landmark, dating right back to the rule of the Roman Empire. This is a country united by its cultural traditions, which covers all things: food, decorations, parades, concerts, and theatre – and, as a visitor, we guarantee you’ll be left wanting more!

Food and Drink

Paella

Considered the national dish of Spain, paella’s birthplace is the city of Valencia. Combining simple ingredients like chicken, rice, seafood and vegetables with saffron, authentic paella is a fabulous comfort food with fantastic flavours. 

Pollo Al Ajillo

Pollo Al Ajillo is a classic and beautiful Spanish garlic chicken recipe with just a few main ingredients – lots of garlic, bay leaves, and wine. Translating to garlic chicken, this dish may sound simple, but the flavours are not. 

Sangria

The alcoholic beverage Sangria, coming exclusively from Spain and Portugal, is a classic punch primarily made from red wine and an array of different fruits. Usually soda and another alcohol, like brandy or rum, is added to the mix, along with sugar and spices. 

Spanish Flan

Authentic Spanish flan is a baked custard dessert combining egg, milk or sweet condensed milk, and vanilla, topped with a stunningly sweet caramel sauce. This very popular pudding is simple but rich, and is a must-try when visiting Spain.

Barcelona

Barcelona Highlights

Sagrada Familia 

Designed by the famous architect Antoni Gaudí, the Basílica de la Sagrada Família dominates the city’s skyline. Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the project has been under construction since 1882, yet still attracts millions of visitors to admire its soaring towers, dazzling artworks and spectacular stained-glass windows – a true architectural masterpiece.  


Parc Guell 

Combining beautiful gardens, magnificent architectural displays, and breathtaking views across the whole city, Parc Guell is one of Antoni Gaudí’s most-renowned projects. Expect stunning fountains, winding staircases, and iconic monuments decorated with vibrant mosaics – ‘El Drac’, the park’s colourful guardian, is a must-see.  


Las Ramblas 

Running through the heart of the city, Las Ramblas is a famous street lined with shops, restaurants, and outdoor cafés. Browse the colourful stalls of La Boqueria market, admire the remarkable Christopher Columbus monument, or simply soak up the vibrant atmosphere with a leisurely stroll.  


Malgrat de Mar

Malgrat de Mar Highlights

Beautiful Beaches 

Stretching along the Costa Brava, Malgrat de Mar boasts a trio of spectacular beaches. Each one offers something different, and they are all connected by a vibrant promenade lined with waterfront cafés and bars.  


Parc del Castell 

Located on a hill overlooking the town, Parc del Castell boasts stunning panoramic views. Accessible by an interesting funicular, the park has a variety of beautiful plants, flowers and trees, and a 14th century tower that was previously used as a defensive watchtower.    


Old Town 

The Old Quarter of the town offers a small square, a market, attractive gardens, and fantastic restaurants serving traditional cuisine. The Church of Sant Nicolau is found here, which is steeped in history and boasts magnificent architecture.  


Madrid

Madrid Highlights

Museo Nacional del Prado 

Boasting a collection of more than 8,000 paintings and 700 sculptures, the Museo Nacional del Prado is a must-visit attraction when in the capital! You’re guaranteed to recognise some of the works on display, which include ‘Las Meninas’, ‘The Third of May 1808’, and ‘The Garden of Earthly Delights.’ 


El Retiro Park 

A tranquil oasis away from the hustle and bustle, El Retiro Park is brimming with lakes, monuments, statues, and unique buildings. Encompassing more than 125 hectares, highlights include the magnificent Monument to Alfonso XII, Palacio de Cristal, and the enchanting La Rosaleda.  


Royal Palace and Gardens 

Home to the Kings of Spain from Charles III to Alfonso XIII, the Royal Palace is the official residence of Spain’s royal family. There is a fascinating museum that offers an insight into the lives of the Spanish royal elite, and more than 3,000 uniquely decorated rooms including the Throne Room, the Royal Chapel, and the Royal Apothecary. 


Seville

Seville Highlights

Royal Alcazar Palace 

An architectural highlight of the city, the Royal Alcazar Palace was built as a fortress in the 10th century for the Caliph of Cordoba. From marble columns and decorative friezes to magnificent arches and beautifully manicured grounds, the complex seamlessly blends breathtaking beauty with fascinating history.  


Seville Cathedral 

As the largest Gothic cathedral in the world, Seville Cathedral is a sight to behold. Its sheer size is enough to impress any visitor, and the interior features an abundance of art treasures. One of the most important is the Tomb of Christopher Columbus, which is held by four figures symbolising the kingdoms of Castille, Aragon, Navara, and Leon. 


Plaza de España 

A stunning development built for the Ibero-American Exposition in 1929, the Plaza de España is an enormous square featuring a majestic fountain and a tranquil canal. It is next to the Parque de María Luis – an expansive green space with exotic palm trees, colourful flower beds, and more.
