Spain

The third most popular country in the world for tourism is Spain. Spain consists of 17 autonomous regions, each with its own Parliament, President, Government and Supreme Court.

Catalonia is in the Northeast area of Spain tucked next to France. The cuisine and culture is very different than the other regions of Spain. This region offers a variety of landscapes with beaches, forests, volcanoes and mountains. The beaches are well regarded and for this reason Spain vacations are popular in this area.  Costa Brava or the Wild Coast stretches for 100 miles from the French border to Barcelona. Barcelona is one of Europe’s most exciting cities with famous nightlife and Art Nouveau architecture.

Blogs on Spain can be great resources for off the beaten path places to visit and enchanting restaurants. Euroresidentes hosts a comprehensive blog on all things related to Spain. It includes Spain hotels, restaurants, attractions, fiestas and culture reviews and recommendations.
