Top Reasons to Go

Girona: Explore a city where monuments of Christian, Jewish, and Islamic cultures have coexisted for centuries and are just steps apart.

Valencia reborn: The city has seen a transformation of the Turia River into a treasure trove of museums, concert halls, parks, and architectural wonders.

Great restaurants: Foodies argue that the fountainhead of creative gastronomy has moved from France to Spain—and in particular to the great restaurants of the Empordà and Costa Brava.

Dalí’s home and museum: "Surreal" doesn't begin to describe the Teatre-Museu Dalí in Figueres or the wild coast of the artist's home at Cap de Creus.

Las Fallas festival: Valencia's Las Fallas in mid-March, a week of fireworks and solemn processions with a finale of spectacular bonfires, is one of the best festivals in Europe.
