Directions anyone?

So you’re interested in exploring Spain? Well you’re in for a treat. Regardless of your personal interests you can find it in Spain and even discover new ones. Thanks to the country’s diverse culture, climate, and landscape there is something for everyone. In one day you can enjoy its National parks, food, wine, music, dance, art and architecture.


If you compare the Northwest territories such as Galicia and Asturias to Almería and Múrcia in the Southeast you’d think they were 2 separate countries. The Northwest more resembles Ireland with its green rolling hills and the El GallegoSoutheast with its desert is more like the wild wide west. In fact, the old Spaghetti Western films were filmed in Almería. From North to South of Spain you will find the influence of other civilizations thousands of year past – Romans, Visigoths, Sefardi, Phoenicians, Iberos, Knights of Templar, Moors, and Celts – all contributed to what Spain is today. For fun, explore the Castillo de Alhambra in Granada and then walk the Camino de Santiago and you’ll discover for yourself two different worlds.
