Spain

Spain is one of Europe's largest countries and also one of its most culturally and geographically diverse. From arid plains to lush green valleys, from craggy mountains to sun-drenched beaches, the natural beauty of the Iberian peninsula offers a stunning array of landscapes, perhaps best appreciated from the comfort of one of the country's modern, high-speed trains. The architecture is also wonderfully varied, from ancient and austere edifices to the most daringly modern designs and every region has its own particular variations and flavour. Whether seeking to sample the famous cuisine, wander the halls of some of the world's greatest art galleries, or simply absorb the uniquely laid back way of life, every visitor to Spain, with its warm and sunny climate, will find something to captivate them.
