Practical information
Spain
Spain, Europe’s second-largest country, captivates with its rich blend of art, culture, and architecture. Its vibrant cities—Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Granada, Seville, and Malaga—are home to world-renowned museums, monuments, castles, and palaces, showcasing its diversity in language, customs, and climate.
A global tourism hub, Spain welcomes millions annually to experience its distinctive way of life, rooted in a tradition of hospitality. A European Union member since 1986, Spain hosted the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona, World Expos in Seville (1992), and Zaragoza (2008). With a population of 47 million, it’s known for its family-oriented, safe society.
Spain boasts breathtaking landscapes, from beaches and forests to deserts and mountains, being Europe’s second most mountainous country after Switzerland. The country is celebrated for its gastronomy, wine regions, and open-air festivals.
Andalusia and Marbella
On Spain’s southern coast lies Andalusia, a region of eight provinces with 8.4 million inhabitants. A historic cultural crossroads, Andalusia remains a top tourist destination with modern infrastructure, preserved cultural heritage, and rich biodiversity.
