Holidays to mainland Spain revolve around the Costas. Up North in Catalonia you’ll find the rugged Costa Brava and Costa Dorada. Further down the coast are the Costa Blanca’s white-sand beaches. And curving around Spain’s southern edge are the sun-soaked regions of Costa Del Sol.
Flamenco dancers, mouth-watering tapas, Moorish castles, big name cities, miles of beaches and world-class theme parks are just some of what Spain has to offer.
