Spain is a country on the move, a place of rapid change. High-speed railways have conquered the country's mountainous terrain and many cities now have modern metro and tram networks, testifying to a vibrant and growing economy. But here, too, you will find a country where time stands still, where crumbling Arab watchtowers maintain a lonely vigil over vast and magnificent landscapes, and city plazas where the baroque jostles with the modern to strike a uniquely Spanish harmony. Do not hesitate to rent a car at every larger Spain’s airport and take a trip across this beautiful country. Rich in history and natural beauty and with more than a fair share of sunshine, Spain is a choice for many different kinds of holiday, from outdoor adventures to world-class museums and art galleries to an infinite variety of popular beaches and secluded coves. The people are warm and welcoming. The Spanish experience would be incomplete without joining in at least one of its famous fiestas. Spain is becoming an ever more popular departure and stopover point for Mediterranean cruises. Year after year, more and more people opt to spend a few days at Mediterranean destinations in Spain at the beginning or end of their cruises, to discover cities such as Barcelona, which is Europe's number one cruise departure port, Palma de Mallorca, Valencia and Malaga. Madrid is the perfect city for finding your favourite modern, original and avant-garde clothes. Make your way to the streets of Fuencarral, Hortaleza or to the Chueca neighbourhood, and you’ll understand why these names are synonymous with cutting-edge style and hip alternative fashion. Walking around Seville in spring is the most wonderful experience. Take a stroll amidst flowers, fountains and the glorious scent of the orange blossom that impregnates the city in April, take a rest at the oranges courtayard of the Cathedral or dine al fresco in a terraza in a verdant square. So much more of that make Sevilla the must destination in early spring.
