Hola, travellers! Let me tell you right from the start: Spain is one of my favourite destinations in Europe and an incredible country that caters for all types of tourists out there. It has everything you can wish for: awesome beaches, amazing food and restaurants, culture-rich towns and world-class museums.
Although it’s super hard to choose, I can say that some of the most popular tourist destinations in Spain include Madrid (the capital), Barcelona, Mallorca and Seville, among others. No Spain tours should end without you tasting some traditional tapas and paella, upgrading your dancing skills with some flamenco and visiting at least a couple of Salvador Dalí’s buildings.
