Spain works as several distinct trips depending on where you land. Madrid and the central meseta are about museums and day trips to Toledo or Segovia; Barcelona and Catalonia lean modernist and coastal; Andalusia in the south carries the Moorish legacy of Seville, Granada and Córdoba; and the Canaries and Balearics run on their own island rhythm and climate.
Pages gathered here cover Madrid, Barcelona, Seville, Valencia, Bilbao, Zaragoza, Toledo, Segovia, Tarragona, Benidorm, Tenerife and other destinations across the mainland and islands. Timing matters more here than in most of Europe: inland Andalusia is punishing in midsummer, while the same weeks are peak season on the coast. April to June and September to October are the reliable windows for cities. Note also that the biggest sights in Granada and Barcelona sell timed tickets that routinely run out weeks ahead.
