So, why is this European country so attractive and tempting for tourists?
Reason #1: The cleanest beaches

Nature and climate in different corners countries are different, which is why, resting on different resorts, you will not have a feeling of monotony and boredom. If the southern coast will please you with a subtropical climate and an abundance of tourists, then the northern one, which is washed by Atlantic Ocean, will surprise you with a mountainous landscape, wooded areas, as well as a sense of some kind of solitude. All these resorts provided Spain, by the way, not for the first time, with leadership among European countries in terms of the number of beaches-owners. blue flag for cleanliness and safety.
Reason #2: Budget holiday options
Selecting a European country as an option for summer holidays, the tourist receives quality service, a high level of culture and comfort. Spain is just the country that will offer you all this for little money. Here the prices are much lower than in similar places. seaside resorts neighboring countries.
Reason #3: Cultural heritage
Having had their fill of the sea, tourists tend to flock to big cities, such as Barcelona, Madrid, and many others. Here, medieval buildings are intertwined with modern, in the Art Nouveau style, the architecture of the cities is simply mesmerizing. Life in megacities is in full swing, here you can not only enjoy sightseeing, but also devote yourself to shopping in reasonable prices, and at sunset, plunge into nightlife Spain.
Reason #4: Gastronomic abundance
Spanish cuisine is big variety flavor shades. Contrary to ideas, it is not only jamon, paella and sangria. Here is a chic selection of seafood and dishes with them, and hearty delicious meat dishes, all kinds of sausages and smoked meats. And the favorable subtropical climate that nature has endowed Spain with pleases local residents and guests of the country with all kinds of fruits that can be purchased here all year round. This is a country where orange and lemon trees grow on the streets and homesteads. Fruits are unusually fragrant and sweet.
Reason #5: Spain - the birthplace of flamenco

It combines sensuality and energy, colors and extraordinary rhythm. You have not seen Spain if you have not seen flamenco performed by Spanish masters!
In sunny and hospitable Spain, more than fifty million tourists annually come to rest. Quite a civilized country, not at all Egypt and Tunisia and not Turkey, where it is dangerous for a girl to even walk down the street alone. But even here, oddly enough, some troubles can await tourists, which are better avoided than allowed. As they say, he who is warned is armed.
The dangers of a spa holiday
The peak summer months in Spain are always accompanied by incredibly high temperatures and scorching sun. An hour or two of lunch sunbathing on the beach is enough, and a burn, as well as the subsequent “licking” of wounds, are simply guaranteed to you. Not even a "super" expensive one will save sunscreen. It is most reasonable to get to the beach in the early morning or in the afternoon, and dedicate the resulting gap to walks along shopping malls, gastronomic pleasures or visiting closed places.
Jellyfish- another one real danger waiting for tourists on some Spanish resorts, burns which can lead to complete paralysis. Usually their influx is observed on south coast mediterranean sea from the African continent, caused by a sharp warming of the climate.
Money and valuables - "look at both"
Walking through the Spanish streets, cheering for your favorite team at a football match, shopping in stores or in the market, and just being in crowded places, to which in the summer tourist season can be attributed to almost the entire territory of Spain, you need to be vigilant every minute. 
There are pickpockets even in such a pleasant, European country. Especially "greedy" for this case in Barcelona.
"Working" place of Spanish pickpockets - Barcelona's La Rambla
Never carry a large amount of money with you. When you leave your hotel room, calculate how much you will need to spend approximately. It is better to return after one time for an additional amount than to be left with nothing. Credit card in this case, it will be an excellent lifesaver. 
Do not put your wallet in a backpack or back pocket of your trousers, it is better to distribute them in some parts along different places and the closer to the body, the better. Carry bags only over your shoulder. It is strictly forbidden to take a passport with you, or you simply will not return home: only a photocopy of it will be sufficient.
Remember! No hotel or inn in Spain is liable for your documents, money and material values. Therefore, when planning trips to another country (and not only to Spain), do not take expensive equipment without a strong need, Cell phones and other high-tech devices. Yes, maids are fired for stealing and the police are called, but this is not a guarantee of the return of the stolen. An excellent option to ensure the safety of valuables is to rent a safe from the hotel. The cost of this service ranges from 3 € to 5 € per day - not cheap, but worth it.

Taking into account the information provided and following her advice, a holiday in Spain promises to be joyful and unforgettable for everyone!
Having traveled a lot around the world (visited more than 40 countries), you begin to understand that there are no good or bad countries, there are countries that are suitable for you or not suitable. Therefore, it is important to first understand what you want or do not want, and then choose your destination. A lot of good things have been said about Spain, but like everything else in this dialectical world, this is just one point of view. And here's another one for you. Why don't I go to Spain?
(1) Spain is a night country. Life begins here at nightfall. At midnight, you can meet a family in a cafe here: mom, dad, a baby crawling under the table, a teenage son or daughter, and a grandmother who, instead of a sweet dream at home, went out to Fresh air spend time with each other. If you come to a disco or a trendy club before midnight, you will drink your cocktail in the company of a bartender and, perhaps, a couple of three other foreigners who, like you, did not take into account national specifics. The peak of the festivities begins after one in the morning. If you are sleeping at home at this time, maybe you should not break your life schedule?
(2) Siesta. Spaniards VERY like to have a rest. They don't push too hard during work hours. But the siesta is still an incomprehensible phenomenon for my mind. after working 2-3 hours before lunch, they go to eat and sleep, so that at 5 o’clock they come back to their shop and “work” for another hour until 7 pm. It’s good that we tourists usually spend our siesta on the beach or in a restaurant, otherwise we would yearn for the inability to exchange our banknotes for inexpensive Spanish goods.
(3) And speaking of restaurants. If, according to the Moscow habit, you are used to running to the bank or shopping during the lunch break, leaving 20 minutes for food, then you need to forget about such speeds of eating in Spain. The fastest lunch will last 2 hours. First, the waiter will bring you water and bread with little, so that you do not die of thirst and hunger until his next appearance in front of you in 30 minutes. During this time, you not only have time to draw up a detailed plan of what you are going to eat, but also forget it, as well as discuss with your companions all the news and all the girls passing by. Here the waiter finally takes the order. Hooray! But make no mistake - you won't see him often. So humble yourself and enjoy both Spanish food and socializing with friends.
(4) "Manyana". "Mañana" means "tomorrow" in Spanish. This is the most beloved Spanish word. The TV in the room is not working - tomorrow. Do you have a flyer for free entry to the club - it operates tomorrow. Is today pick-up day? Well, you understand - not today, tomorrow. So the whole of Spain lives in the future and we live with it.
(5) No ceremony. Apparently tired of the rich royal ceremonial past, the Spaniards are very easy to communicate with. The shop assistant can easily chat with you about the weather in Russia and her children. The waiter pat on the shoulder. A 50-year-old lady will be offended if you address her with “you” and not with you. All in all, it provides a huge opportunity to be included in Spanish life...if you want it. And even if you don't want to.
You can continue for a long time, since there are many differences in our way of life and theirs, but after all of the above, I wanted to go to Spain. Maybe this is just the place where I want to go? And if you see the positive side of the Spanish way of life, you can have a great time here?...
Of course, you can list a lot more than five reasons why you just need to visit Spain. But we are sure that those that we will name will not leave the traveler indifferent and will become a serious impetus for a trip to Spain. The only thing I would like to note is that there, on the spot, the number of such reasons will grow exponentially. If only there was enough time to find out what Spain is like...
Why Spain?
1. The sweet scent of Valencia
But people go to Valencia not only for fantastic views, they love it for its sweet, amazing taste and aroma. The duet of Horchata and Farton possesses such qualities. Refreshing almond drink Horchata (Spanish: Horchata) is served with ice cubes and a delicious sweet glazed farton bun. According to legend, the king of Aragon, who was first treated to horchata in Valencia, wanted to know what kind of drink he was offered. The girl who served the delicious cocktail said it was "llet de xufa" (chufa milk). The king was amazed by the taste of the drink and exclaimed: "Açò no és llet, açò és OR, XATA!" (It's not milk, it's gold, beauty!). So the Spanish words OR and XATA gave the name to the popular drink.
Unusual farton buns (Fartons de Valencia) were invented specifically for serving Horchata drink in order to set off its taste and aroma. Farton is made from rich sweet yeast dough, rolled out in a thin layer, as if on French croissants. As soon as freshly baked buns are taken out of the oven, they are immediately covered with a thin layer of crunchy icing, amazingly shading the aroma of baking.
To continue the pleasure of meeting with Valencia will help bike tour along the garden alleys along the dried-up bed of the Turia River (a bicycle can be rented at one of the many city bike stations). We advise you to end a good day in the company of paella, it is cooked here just perfectly!
Since we didn’t forget about the overnight stay, the cozy El Palau de la Mar 5 * will be the best match for the level of sophistication of the trip (address: Avinguda de Navarro Reverter, tel. +34 963 162 884).
2. Return to Barcelona
No matter how many times you have been to Barcelona, the Catalan capital has more and more surprises to offer... Tourist attractions - Sagrada Familia, Park and Güell houses, we hope you have already seen, so we recommend discovering a brand new Barça:
- the students' favorite area is Gràcia (cat. Gràcia), by the way, it is on its territory that Park Güell is located, and not far away is majestic temple Holy Family
- book market in the new city, in the heart of modern Barcelona - Eixample (cat. l'Eixample), starting from Plaza Catalunya
- picturesque San Antonio (cat. Sant Antoni) - a quiet and cozy area in the city center, attracting foreigners covered market Mercat
Mercat is very reminiscent of the famous Barcelona Boqueria, but it is not as crowded with tourists as the latter. You need to go to the market if only because you want to have a bite to eat before moving further along the streets of the Catalan miracle. San Antonio is an amazing area, it breathes the spirit of design, you can feel it everywhere!
If you want to stay in Barcelona for a few days, be sure to take note of our itinerary "Barcelona for free", rent a room or apartment in one of the residential buildings and choose in advance what you like best:
- baroque apartments, for example, in the Casa Fuster 5 hotel, address: Passeig de Gràcia, 132, tel. +34 932 553 000
- or futuristic surroundings - these are the interiors of the W Barcelona 5* on Barceloneta Beach, Plaça de la Rosa dels Vents, tel. +34 932 952 800
No matter where you stay, both hotels offer a rooftop pool.
3.Breathing oranges in Granada
Granada, one of the exquisite cities of Andalusia, is firmly connected by its past with Arabic culture and customs. It is here that you will find vast areas fragrant orange gardens, the splendor of flowering fragrant shrubs, radiating a thick, rich, almost oriental scent.
Granada takes time - to see the gardens of the Arab fortress of the Alhambra; walk along the steep and very narrow streets of the old city, it is called Albazin (Albayzin); visit royal palace Charles V; study the paintings historical center cities.
4. The best Belote in the world(Bellota)
Of course, we are talking about the Iberian jamon - Spanish. jamon iberico de bellota. The place where they cook excellent Spanish pork ham on the bone is called Guijuelo (Spanish: Guijuelo). Finding the village is quite simple - it is located 60 km south of Salamanca, between the Sierra de Gata (Sierra de Gata) and the Sierra de Gredos (Sierra de Gredos).
The highest quality of the local jamon is guaranteed by severe climatic conditions, which favor the slow flow of fermentation processes in the product and the accumulation of divine taste and aroma in the finished pork leg. The quiet village professes the art of cooking pata nigra (as the local special kind of pork is called) almost like a religion - the process has been verified for centuries, and the result is stunning!
To taste the most delicious Iberian jamon, just go to one of the local delis and ask to cut off a thin slice of ham, showing off on a special cortador device supporting it. With the help of a long and flexible steel knife, the thinnest reddish-violet petal of meat melting in the mouth will be cut off from a huge piece ... They say that at such moments the taster sees the seventh heaven ...
However, if you decide to take a look at cultural values local places, write down in the list of excursions a visit to the luxurious University of Salamanca.

The long reign of the Spanish dictator Franco did not kill the freedom of the spirit and the vibrant Spanish identity! Hidden in the depths of the soul of every Spaniard, in 1975, after the death of the bloodthirsty leader, Movida still broke out and became the beginning of the cultural liberation of the people from the consequences of the authoritarian regime.
Everyone can see what Movida is like today. One has only to visit Madrid in the evening. As soon as twilight falls over the city, people come out of their offices to the streets to enjoy a common meal - Tapear. This is the name of the collective mass eating of delicious Spanish snacks - tapas, tasting marinated anchovies and enjoying a few glasses of delicious Spanish wine.

This country is literally full of various resorts, which differ not only in the number of services provided, but also in prices.
