Spain

Shore siesta or local fiesta? Spain sets the scene for both, around some of Europe's best beaches and cities. Endless sun shines on modern masterpieces and Moorish monuments. Streets buzz with fiery flamenco, all-night parties or running bulls racing after revellers. Spain slows the pace, lets you take it all in, from high peaks to hidden coves, between sips of sangria and bites of tasty tapas.

Fun Fact

While kids in English-speaking countries expect the Tooth Fairy to swap their lost tooth for a gift, Spanish children wait for an adorable tooth…mouse, named El Ratoncito Pérez or Ratón Pérez.The character was made popular by writer Luis Coloma who used it to appease eight-year old king Alfonso XIII after he lost a tooth.
