Where to go in Spain
The Canary Islands
The Canary Islands are an archipelago of seven islands in the Atlantic Ocean belonging to Spain.
Located close to the northwest of Africa, the islands are rich in both European and African influences.
Lanzarote
The Spanish island of Lanzarote lies about 80 miles off the coast of Africa.
It has a desert-like climate, long white and dark sand beaches and is a popular package holiday destination for British and German tourists.
Tenerife
Tenerife is the largest of the Canary Islands and one of the most visited. It has exquisite beaches, rugged volcanic hills, modern resorts and relaxed and traditional villages.
Tenerife is lush and green in the north and dry and hot in the south.
Cordoba
The Andalucian city of Cordoba is home to the Mezquita, the most elaborate mosque in Moorish Spain.
This 10th century mosque boasts an eye-popping 850 granite and marble pillars and was built to hold up to 20,000 worshippers. Although many of the original Islamic architectural features are still evident, the centre of the mosque was overtaken in the 16th century by a Renaissance cathedral.
Granada
Surrounded by mountains and lorded over by the greatest Muslim monument in Europe, multicultural Granada is something of a Moorish masterpiece.
Barcelona
The second largest city in Spain and the capital of Catalonia, Barcelona attracts a never-ending stream of tourists. It is one of the few places in Spain where English is widely spoken.
San Sebastian
Madrid
Madrid was Spain's coolest city long before Posh and Becks showed up. A frenetic city with a legendary nightlife that induces 4am traffic jams, Madrid is at its best when it is drinking, eating, shopping and partying.
Seville
Beyond its orange tree-lined streets and searingly hot summers, there's enough flamenco and fiestas going on here to fulfill all your Spanish fantasies.
Toledo
In a world gone awry, the medieval hilltop city of Toledo is a reminder of the potential for the world's three big religions to coexist.
From the Middle Ages onwards, Jews, Christians and Muslims lived here side by side in relative harmony until the Inquisition came and crashed the party in 1492.
