Spain is one of Europe's most diverse countries, historically, culturally, gastronomically and geographically. While some people prefer to go skiing in the Winter months, others prefer to sunbathe on the coast. Not many countries can offer both options during the same month, but Spain can.
As a tourist destination, Spain is often mistakenly stereotyped as a sun-and-sea location, and its most beautiful spots remain undiscovered. If you are living in Spain, or are coming over and want to do more than just get a quick tan, then check out this section for information on some of Spain's lesser known spots. Also see our Guide to Spanish paradors, Guide to Spanish provinces and the new Guide to the best beaches in Spain.
