About Spain
Mediterranean passion — Gaudí's Barcelona, Moorish Andalusia, Madrid's art scene, golden beaches, tapas culture, and a rich Islamic heritage from 800 years of Al-Andalus.
Spain captivates with its fiery culture, stunning architecture, and warm Mediterranean climate. For Gulf travellers, Spain has special appeal: 800 years of Al-Andalus left an extraordinary Islamic heritage — the Alhambra in Granada, the Mezquita in Córdoba, and the Alcázar in Seville. Halal restaurants are growing rapidly, especially in Barcelona, Madrid, and Andalusia. Barcelona offers Gaudí's surreal architecture, Madrid boasts world-class art museums, and the southern coast delivers golden beaches. Spanish food culture — tapas, paella, and churros — is legendary.
