Where should you go in Spain?
Spain is one of Europe’s most popular travel destinations — and honestly, it’s easy to see why.
Beyond the sunshine and incredible food, Spain offers a seriously striking mix of geography and culture: while people in Galicia are already pulling out their winter jackets, you can still be lying on a beach on the Canary Islands.
And then there are the cities. Madrid, Barcelona, and Seville are all absolutely worth a visit — even just for a long weekend.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you tip in Spain?
Tipping in Spain is way less of a thing than in many other countries, but it’s always appreciated. You won’t offend anyone if you leave a few euros on the table at a restaurant — and you won’t offend anyone if you don’t. No pressure either way.
Where is the most beautiful place in Spain?
Tough question! We personally love Andalusia and Fuerteventura the most — the vibe, the endless sunshine, the ocean. It’s hard to beat. And if we had to pick one city? Seville, without a doubt.
What languages are spoken in Spain?
Spanish (“Castellano”) is the official language across the whole country — but Spain is seriously multilingual.
In Catalonia, you’ll hear Catalan everywhere. In the Basque Country, Basque is widely spoken. And in Galicia in the northwest, Galician is a co-official language alongside Spanish.
