Cities & Regions of Spain (336)
Spain's political structure allows for the many semi-autonomous communities to add their own historical character to their region. Find information on what there is to see in each corner of the Peninsula.

- Barcelona (89)
To many, Barcelona is Spain's premier city, even though the locals would say it isn't Spain at all. With its famous Las Ramblas street, its Gaudi architecture and numerous art galleries, there's always something else to do in Barcelona.

- Madrid (39)
Spain's capital is often overlooked in favor of the more cosmopolitan Barcelona or diverse Andalucia, but the city still has a lot to offer. Three of the country's most important museums, a nightlife to rival that of any other and some of the best restaurants in Spain are just the tip of the iceberg.

- Seville (24)
Seville is as Spanish as you can get - flamenco, tapas and bullfighting usually dominates most tourists' time here. It also has an immense cathedral, some beautiful gardens in the Alcazar and the pictureseque Barrio Santa Cruz to explore (and get lost in!).

- Granada (36)
Granada was the last Moorish city to fall, as a result its Arabic influence is great. The Alhambra fortress complex on the hillside is breathtaking, like a dozen magnificent cathedrals side by side. Itineraries, hotels, and restaurants in Granada.

Events & Festivals in Spain (237)
It often seems like every day is a festival in Spain. But with every city (and many towns and villages) having its own festival and numerous other Saints and events to celebrate (not to mention the film and music festivals), that sometimes doesn't feel too far from the truth!

Food is a national obsession in Spain. But with so few Spanish menus translated into intelligible English, you'll need some help in choosing the best of their culinary delights. Also, an explanation of the Spanish eating and drinking culture and some recipes to whet your appetite.

From sleeping in the daytime to killing bulls for fun, the Spanish way of life is often quite different from any other. Find out all about Spain's obsession with partying, the art of bullfighting and some more mundane aspects of life like buying a lottery ticket and the new smoking laws.
