An Overview

Spain is steeped in the historical pageantry of empire and conquistadors, the artistic legacy of Goya, Velázquez, Picasso and Dalí, and the romance of Don Quijote, Papa Hemingway and the International Brigadese than the Costa del Sol, donkey souvenirs, castanets, Irish pubs and cheap beer.

Active Vacation
From the Mediterranean Sea to the Bay of Biscay, Spain enjoys more than 450 kilometres of mountains and valleys, rivers, lakes, rocky areas and trails. This area, known as the Pyrnees Mountains, is an excellent location for active vacations and water sports. Like climbing and walking? Between the Gulf of Vizcaya and the Gulf of Roses, there are dozens of dazzling peaks which in some areas reach 3,000 meters, creating a natural border separating France, Spain and Andorra. Today, this succession of mountains has become the meeting point for lovers of hiking, rock climbing, paragliding, river trips, bicycle routes, caving, canyoning, and other sporting activities.
