Spain |
Overview

Driving north from Granada to Madrid, you
pass through La Mancha, the sun-baked land
at the heart of Spain. This is Don Quixote
country, where Cervantes' hero tilted at
windmills, thinking they were giants. As
you near the town of Consuegra, you spot
a row of windmills on the horizon and suddenly
realize that Don Quixote might not have
been so deluded after all: From a distance,
they do indeed look like giants issuing
a challenge.
|

Spain is loaded with
such moments -- when the ideal of what you
fantasize the country to be suddenly materializes
in front of you. Almost every town and village
has its own fiesta, which it's easy to stumble
upon and join unannounced. A short walk
through many a Spanish city can lead you
past a Moorish fort, a bar where tapas and
wine are consumed with gusto, or through
a park where a guitarist is practicing.
Young lovers embrace in the ancient streets,
flamenco stars dance with a fury both rehearsed
and passionate. Spain can be wonderfully
theatrical and earthy at the same time.

Historical sites, lively
cities, some of the finest art in the world,
castles, the Alhambra, shopping, the White
Villages, cultural events, beaches, museums,
caves, hiking, water sports and great food
have long been Spain's main attractions.
Anyone
who likes to travel will enjoy Spain. From
its art museums and its tapas bars to its
beaches, Spain's appeal is so broad that
it's truly a country with something for
everyone
