Map & Location

Be swept up in the spirit of Spain, where siesta culture is deeply ingrained and flamenco echoes through cobbled streets. Located in western Europe, bordering France and Portugal with a long shoreline on the Mediterranean Sea, Spain is one of the sunniest countries in Europe.

Home to sun-kissed coastlines, the oldest restaurant in the world, and the third-most UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Spain has something for everyone. It is safe, welcoming, and a hugely popular tourist destination, with some of the best beaches in Europe.

Tenerife

Tenerife is the largest of the seven Canary Islands both by size and population.

With seven times as many tourists as residents, managing this environmental pressure has made it a global leader in sustainable tourism.

It’s location in the North Atlantic ocean, with a variety of whales and dolpins calling these waters home, has made it a magnet for marine conservation enthusiasts too.

On land, Tenerife rises from beaches and coastal cliffs to pine forests and the volcanic summit of Mount Teide, Spain’s highest mountain.

Valencia

Less than four hours east of Madrid lies a hidden gem, renowned for its stunning architecture and incredible coastline. Valencia has a population of about 800,000 and a Mediterranean climate with warm, sunny weather for much of the year.

Wander through charming narrow streets and lively plazas, marvel at buildings like Valencia Cathedral dating back more than 600 years, and browse fascinating museums covering the city’s rich history. It is a coastal paradise just waiting to be explored.

Barcelona

Though it hardly needs an introduction, Barcelona is Spain’s second city, located in Catalonia on the eastern coast. It is home to more than 1.5 million people and is most famous for the archtectural work of Gaudi and its football culture.

Barcelona is more than just a city, though — it’s an experience. With a mediterranean climate and golden beaches, it is perfect for a sunny escape. Be sure not to miss the historic Gothic Quarter, beautiful public parks, and the world renowned Basilica.
