Spain Travel Guide: 53,314 reviews and 136,982 photos

Spain is a wonderful country to leisurely tour. Since it is not very expensive, it can be visited on a reasonable budget. Furthermore Spain has so much to see. There are more World Heritage List sights in Spain than in any other country in the world. On top of the multitude of historical and cultural sights, Spain offers great beaches and wonderful hiking.
One of the things I like most about Spain is the people. They are without a doubt the nicest and most beautiful people of any country that I have so far visited. They only add to the enjoyment that you will have in this wonderful country.

Pros and Cons

Pros:Great sights. The most beautiful people in the World. And friendliest too.
Cons:Not very exciting cuisine
In a nutshell:Spain "So Much to Do"

Last visit to Spain: Oct 1994

Update:Fascinating insights about Spain. Although I disagreed about a few places such as the Nerja caves, I tended to find your comments right on target. As always, you well written, informative, interesting tips are a big help to travelers.

Thanks for the compliments about my country. I come from a small fishing area in Northern Spain, in the Galicia region. Beautiful rolling hills, unspoiled beaches (And now that I'm far away from home, I can agree... the food is not really exciting!) :)

Interesting and informative tips. I saw a lot of these places on a four-month bicycle tour -- several decades ago!

Excellent overview. Making me regret even more that I didn't make it to Merida.

I wish I had read your page before my trip last year. Bummer that you didn't like Nerja. You make good points and I can see how it might rub people the wrong way.
