t Overlooking the beach at Penscola, near Valencia.

Fiery flamenco, tables covered with tasty tapas and the scent of jasmine Spain is an intoxicating country. Infinitely varied, its home to Roman ruins and Gauds fairytale creations, beautiful beaches and a sizzling foodie scene. Whatever your dream trip to Spain includes, this DK Eyewitness Travel Guide is the perfect companion.

The largest country in southern Europe, Spain is bounded to the east by the turquoise Mediterranean and to the west by the wild Atlantic. Consequently, its framed by secret coves, long golden strands and wind-whipped cliffs. The towering peaks of the Pyrenees form the countrys northern border, and, further south, badlands and vineyards give way to the high, sun-baked plains of Central Spain and the undulating olive groves of Andaluca.

The cities, too, are equally beguiling. In Madrid, Spains fizzing capital, a trio of glittering galleries rub shoulders with jumbled flea markets. The spirit of Madrids rival sun-kissed Barcelona is embodied in Picassos paint, Gauds bricks and, now, on plates. The Catalan capital has a stellar foodie reputation, with experimental chefs reinventing classic cuisine. But San Sebastin is hot on its heels, serving up just-caught seafood and hearty pintxos. Bilbao the other jewel in the Basque Countrys crown has transformed from an industrial has-been to an artistic trail-blazer thanks to the Museo Guggenheim. While this futuristic building crowns the north, in the south Andalucas three seductive cities Seville, Cordoba and Granada are characterized by their Moorish structures, with their shaded patios perfumed by orange blossom.

So, where to start? Weve broken the country down into easily navigable chapters, with detailed itineraries, expert local knowledge and colourful comprehensive maps to help you plan the perfect visit. Whether youre staying for a weekend or longer, this Eyewitness guide will ensure that you see the very best that Spain has to offer. Enjoy the book, and enjoy Spain.

Reasons to Love
Spain

The architecture is amazing; the natural landscape awe-inspiring. It has a packed calendar of curious festivals and comes alive after dark. Ask any Spaniard and youll hear a different reason why they love their country.
