Sant Joan de Labritja

Spain is famous for its friendly inhabitants, relaxed lifestyle, its cuisine, vibrant nightlife, and world-famous folklore and festivities, and its history as the core of the vast Spanish Empire. The most popular beaches are the ones along the Mediterranean coast and on the Canary Islands. Meanwhile, for hiking, the mountains of Sierra Nevada in the south, the Central Cordillera and the northern Pyrenees are the best places. Historically, Spain has been an important crossroads: between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, between North Africa and Europe, and as Europe began colonizing the New World, between Europe and the Americas. As such, the country is blessed with a fantastic collection of historical landmarks. The Spanish are very passionate about their cuisine, based on great food and wine. Spanish food can be described as quite light with a lot of vegetables and a huge variety of meat and fish.

Like many other Spanish regions, its history is a series of successive dominations. First by the Carthaginians, then the Romans, followed by the Moors and finally, its incorporation into the kingdom of Aragon.

The islands of Mallorca and Minorca will delight visitors with their splendid beaches and a backcountry of great beauty, full of trails and rocky inlets. As Ibiza, its reputation for offering a crazy night life in summer, makes it a favoured destination for party-loving youth from all around Europe. Alongside all that effervescence, the beaches of Formentera - the smallest of the five islands - offer an oasis of tranquillity, often envied by its neighbours.
