Spain Travel Guides

← All destinations

Our founder Andrei is Romanian and lived in Spain for about five years. The country is easy to shrink to Barcelona and Madrid, and the guides below show how much that leaves out. One sorts twenty places into quiet villages, historic cities, lesser-known spots and nightlife. Another compares seven regions, from the Pyrenees to Galicia. The regions differ a lot, so it pays to choose a region before you choose a city.

Spain suits very different travelers, and the guides lean in different directions. Barcelona gets three days, with the Gaudi landmarks, quieter corners, nightlife and a Costa Brava day trip. Toledo works as a day trip from Madrid or a longer stop. Andalusia gets a ten-day route, and Tenerife is covered through its northern villages and food. The regions guide matches regions to personality types and warns against boxing yourself in.

Start with the overview of 20 destinations, then read the regions by personality guide to narrow the choice. After that, go place by place: Andalusia in ten days, Barcelona in three days, the best town on the Costa Brava, Toledo, and Tenerife away from the resorts. Each guide stands alone, but this order lets you drop the places that do not suit you early.
