Spain & its Islands

Spain & its Islands

• beguiling landscapes
• hotels of character offering excellent cuisine
• walking, cycling, short breaks, self-catering properties, journeys and family holidays

Modern Spain is a revelation. While such great cities as Barcelona, Bilbao and Seville are justly famed for flamboyance and vitality, our chosen regions represent the quiet face of Spain. Boasting splendid scenery, these are corners where time seems to have stood still, from the rolling plains of Castile to the medieval stone villages of the Garrotxa in Catalonia. What unites the country, though, is the love for life of the people.

Spain has some of Europe’s wildest mountain areas, and not just the magnificent peaks of the Pyrenees. In Asturias in the north, the Picos de Europa are green and rugged, while in the south, Andalucía and Valencia surprise with craggy limestone peaks. Equally dramatic are north-west Mallorca, where the Tramuntana Sierra plunges into the Mediterranean, and the Canary Islands, whose topography is as dramatic as the volcanic activity that shaped it so many millennia ago. The coastal regions are just as inviting, be it Almería in Andalucía, where secret coves are framed by landscapes reminiscent of North Africa; the coast of Catalonia, with its charming fishing villages; or Menorca’s ever-changing coastline.

If the landscapes are very varied, so too are the ways in which you can enjoy them: as well as offering walking, cycling and family activity holidays, we also offer short breaks, journeys by rail and self-catering properties for more leisurely exploration of this enchanting country.
