The Sun destination: Spain
Spain is a very diverse country. This patchwork of regions with varied landscapes is home to great cultural wealth. The arts, and in particular painting, music or dance, architecture, dialects, gastronomy are all sources of discovery and wonder. The country also welcomes many tourists, happy to come and soak up the Spanish joie de vivre, under the omnipresent sun.
The interior of the country is rich in nature, with sublime landscapes and unusual monuments, not necessarily popular with tourists, who are rather attracted by the beaches of the Spanish coasts. Discover all the heritage of this country by going for a stroll in small, little-known villages.
Spain is a lively and very dynamic country, especially in the evening. It is pleasant to party there or enjoy tapas in a bar around the corner. Immerse yourself in Spanish culture by tasting their gastronomy in small, typical restaurants. The best times for a vacation in Spain are spring and autumn, because there are fewer tourists and it is cooler!
