Map of Spain and Portugal

Spain is the top Mediterranean tourist destination, receiving tens of millions of visitors every year, and the second most visited country in the world. Most visitors are drawn by its uniquely reliable summer sunshine, fine beaches and holiday lifestyle but, in addition, it has great cities like Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Seville or Bilbao, with their world-class sights like the Prado Museum, the Sagrada Familia basilica, the Ciutat de les Artes i de les Ciències, the Giralda or the Guggenheim Museum. Other reasons for visiting include Spanish food and drink (high-quality, affordable and copious), the infectious Spanish zest for life, seen in Spain's fiestas and nightlife, and the Great Spanish Outdoors, exemplified in the breathtaking mountain scenery of the Picos de Europa or the Pyrenees, or ecologically priceless reserves like Doñana.
