Shore siesta or local fiesta? Vacations in Spain set the scene for both, around some of Europe's best beaches and cities. Endless sun shines on modern masterpieces and Moorish monuments. Streets buzz with fiery flamenco, all-night parties or running bulls racing after revellers. Spain slows the pace, lets you take it all in, from high peaks to hidden coves, between sips of sangria and bites of tasty tapas.
