Travel to Spain

Let’s explore Spain with CIT, a country on Europe’s Iberian Peninsula, includes 17 autonomous regions with diverse geography and cultures. Capital city Madrid is home to the Royal Palace and Prado museum, housing works by European masters. Segovia has a medieval castle (the Alcázar) and an intact Roman aqueduct. Catalonia’s capital, Barcelona, is defined by Antoni Gaudí’s whimsical modernist landmarks like the Sagrada Família church.

Spain is a mix of old and new, modern and traditional. Bullfights, massive cathedrals, world-class art, Muslim palaces, vibrant folk life, whitewashed villages, and bright sunshine. Those are justly unique but the real country’s charm lies on their people that’s passionate, sophisticated and devoted to living the good life.

With infinite local and seasonal variations Spain has such gastronomic variety. Food Markets to wander around, restaurants with pavement tables or great little bars packed with locals. You have to experience tapas in Spain which is very different from what’s offered at your local tapas restaurant back home. San Sebastián’s pintxo scene is world famous, its bars serving mouthwatering food, much of it in bite-sized portions on a slice of baguette.

The Phoenicians, Romans, Visigoths and Moors – all have settled in Spain over the centuries, each leaving their own legacy of culture, architecture and cuisine that has enriched the country and its people. This has seen Spain produce iconoclasts such as Picasso, Dali and Gaudi, each of whom has interpreted the world in their own very unique way.There are lots of monuments, UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Castles and medieval towns to discover.

The word ‘fiesta’ is one of the best-known words in the Spanish language – life itself is a fiesta here and everyone seems to be invited. Spain has some of the world’s most famous – and wacky – festivals and fiestas, from the San Fermín running of the bulls in Pamplona and La Tomatina tomato throwing festival in Buñol, to La Rioja’s annual wine drenching festival. And as well as these more out there festivals, each Spanish town holds its own fiestas, when locals get together, dress up, eat, drink and celebrate.
