Spain

Franco and fascism didn't dampen the Spanish spirit and today the country is ultra-modern, vibrant and full of opportunities. Charter tourism has a life of its own, but there's nothing to stop you from exploring national parks, experiencing bullfights and world-class football, admiring Picasso's paintings or enjoying a cold gazpacho or piping hot paella. When the adventurous spirit starts to stir, you can indulge in the seductive dance of flamenco or descend the southernmost ski slopes of the Sierra Nevada while taking in the view of the Mediterranean. At Melilla you can sink into the underground world and discover the secrets of the sea. You can hike in mountains, valleys and all Spanish regions or try kite surfing and water skiing on the Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts. There's no excuse left.
