Spain Vacations

Although Spain is well-known for its sand and sun, it is much more than a beach destination. Spain vacations have so much to offer in the way of great history, culture, natural beauty, traditions, and fine food and drink. Spain's coastal waters are greatly appreciated by locals and tourists alike, providing a fantastic setting for activities such as surfing, scuba diving, sailing, kite surfing, and more. For those who enjoy inland activities, explore the mountains while skiing, snowboarding, and trekking. Tourists enjoying Spain vacations may choose to explore Roman ruins, Moorish architecture, World Heritage cities, picturesque parks and gardens, as well as many modern sights in this incredibly diverse tourist destination. Whether your tastes include the tradition of bullfighting, the thrill of Flamenco, the beauty of the arts, or the wonders of Spanish cuisine and wine, you can experience it all.
