Things to do in Spain

Spain's strength is its variety. Moorish palaces, modernist architecture, Atlantic fishing towns, Mediterranean coves, dry central plains, green northern mountains, and island cultures all pull the country in different directions.

Plan Spain by region and season rather than trying to force one national checklist. Summer can be punishing inland and packed on beaches, while spring and fall are excellent for cities, food, festivals, and long train journeys across the country.
