Spain Vacation Guide
Located in southern Europe, the Spanish mainland is bordered by the Mediterranean Sea. Spanish territory includes the Balearic Islands in the Med and the Canary Islands off the African coast. It shares land borders with Portugal, France, Andorra, Gibraltar, and Morocco.
There are in fact four official languages in Spain (Castilian, Catalan, Basque and Galician), three unofficial regional languages (Asturian, Aragonese and Aranese), and several more dialects of these (Andalucian, Valencian...). Almost all Spaniards can speak Castilian Spanish though.
Spain is very popular with tourists and sees millions flying over every year. There is plenty to see and do, ranging from a city break in Madrid, or a beach holiday on the Costa Del Sol.
Sites of historical and artistic importance abound in Spain: the Alhambra (in Granada), a magnificent fortress built with Moorish motifs; Barcelona's Gothic Quarter (Barri Gotic); Madrid's trinity of great museums; the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela; and the Guggenheim in Bilbao.
Don't forget the nude beaches that are all over the country!
