From the sun-baked beaches of the Costa Blanca to the soaring Pyrenees and the rolling vineyards of La Rioja and Extremadura, Spain’s beautiful landscapes are as varied and diverse as its culture. Located on Europe’s southern Iberian Peninsula, this is a country whose long history has produced world-renowned architecture, art, music and literature. When you visit Spain you can follow in the footsteps of legends including Salvador Dalí, Pablo Picasso and Antoni Gaudí.
Spain’s remarkable creative spirit is also evident in its cuisine. This is a country fiercely proud of its kitchen, from Valencia’s famous paella to Andalusian gazpacho and ubiquitous tapas dishes like tortilla Española and patatas bravas. Eating well in Spain comes as standard, but in cities such as Madrid, Barcelona and Granada, you’ll also find pioneering fine dining.
This is also the country whose language has given the world both the sleepy siesta and party-loving fiesta. Both are easily evident on a trip to Spain: from lazy afternoons spent slumbering on Barcelona’s gorgeous city beaches to late nights dancing into the early hours in the vibrant capital of Madrid, the Spanish spirit and energy is infectious. And should you need somewhere to stay while you explore all this and more, Leonardo have a number of hotels in Spain to choose from.
