Spain things to do
Sagrada Familia
Barcelona is a city of astonishing architecture but its crowning glory is the Sagrada Familia, Antoni Gaudí’s famously unfinished Roman Catholic church. Marvel at the painstaking mosaic work, stained glass windows, and carved facades, and ascend the towers to view the city from a dizzying height. For the best experience, take a guided tour of this architectural masteripiece.
The Alhambra
The city of Granada is situated in Andalusia, and is home to some of the finest examples of Moorish architecture in the country, the most spectacular of which is the Alhambra. Visit this vast hilltop fortress and palace and explore its astonishingly beautiful corridors, rooms, and courtyards, where traditional Islamic design – characterised by precise geometry – dominates.
Beach-hopping in Menorca
Menorca is famed for its tranquil atmosphere, whitewashed villages, and stunning sandy beaches. Take a holiday here and you can spend your days moving from one quiet cove to the next, to lounge on white sands and swim in turquoise waters. Menorca is also a hotspot for sailing, snorkelling, and diving.
Teide National Park
Tenerife may be famed for its gorgeous beach resorts, but a holiday here wouldn’t be complete without a trip to Teide National Park. Home to the highest peak in Spain, Teide is a patchwork of astonishing volcanic terrains, and the ideal spot for a day’s hike – particularly in spring when the flowers are in bloom.
