-

The Spanish mainland is home to approximately 40 million people.

Five major mountain ranges are distributed across the country, making it the highest European country after Switzerland.

There are vast tracts of hot, sierra wilderness with rugged stretches of coastline between sandy beaches, and the snow-capped Pyrenees at the north-east border with France means that Spain has a unique and comprehensive collection of terrains and natural environments.

The climate in Spain is generally cooler in the north, but its high summer temperatures mean that coastal regions are busiest from June to September, with visitors from not only abroad but from the inland towns and cities where the heat can be unbearable.

Holiday accommodation in Spain is plentiful across the whole of the country - from a northerly cottage in the Pyrenees to a southerly bed and breakfast or villa in the Costa del Sol, you'll be able to find the right location where you can enjoy a relaxing vacation just about anywhere.

Spain is a holiday destination for people of all ages and at any time of the year, depending on whether you seek hot beaches or cool mountains, but the north can be very wet during winter with snowfall in the Pyrenean regions.

Spain is culturally rich with many fine examples of Roman ruins, ornate Islamic palaces and Gothic cathedrals scattered across the entire country, with medieval castles nestling amongst the cottages and farmhouses of almost every village.

Madrid, the capital, houses some splendid art museums and its architectural magnitude and cosmopolitan attitude makes it one of Spain's most decadent and best visited cities.

Barcelona has emerged as another dynamic city at the cutting edge of style, fashion and the arts. Cuisine is an important element of Spanish culture, influenced by Latin-American cooking with many regional variations on the better known paella, gazpacho and tapas.

Countrywide, dinner is traditionally eaten between 1.30 and 4.00, and is often a time for family or friends to enjoy a meal together, leaving plenty of time for a siesta before taking advantage of Spain's colourful city night life!
