Why visit Spain for holiday or business reasons?
From the geographic point of view, Spain is one of the most diverse countries in Southern Europe,
bathed by the Mediterranean
sea, offering from hundreds and hundreds of kilometres of sandy beaches to small, hidden coves and stony beaches.
For example, along Costa Brava in the province of Girona, north east of Barcelona and near France, the blue, green and navy
blue of the sea, together with the green vegetation,
which reaches down to the sea, is almost a must visit for anyone travelling this area. The Costa del Sol belonging to the provinces of Granada, Malaga and Cadiz in South Spain, consists of many
large beaches, coves among cliffs, sports harbours
and fishing grounds.
For active tourism and travel you can choose boating, sailing and wind-surfing which are very popular water sports around the Spanish coast, as well as diving and snorkeling for your holiday or as a team building and incentive activity.
Spain has several mountain ranges and high mountains throughout the country for walking, accommodation or just to enjoy Nature, such as the Pyrenees in Aragon and Catalonia, the Sierra Nevada near Granada in Andalucia, also very suitable for horse riding holidays and skiing.
For birdwatching holidays in Spain, you can check for example Extremadura in western Spain, south of Madrid.
Golf is becoming a more and more popular sport all over Spain, with many clubs and courses being built in the last years. Many hotels also offer to play golf on their own course.
The Spanish gastronomy is famous on an international base due to the huge variety in the cuisine throughout the country and for their renown first-class chefs. Traditionally, the Basque Country offers a wide spread kitchen with their tapas, pinchos and home-type cooking, often accompanied by the Basque Txakoli white wine.
