Spain

Madrid and Barcelona open most Spain trips, and the articles in this category give both their depth, with tapas crawls in La Latina, slow afternoons in the Prado, Gaudi buildings beyond the Sagrada Familia, and the small Catalan towns within day-trip range. Beyond the two cities, coverage moves through Andalusia Moorish architecture, the Camino de Santiago routes, the Basque coast, and the volcanic islands that draw winter visitors.

Food writing is regional and unhurried, with pieces on Galician seafood, Valencian rice culture, Asturian cider houses, and the small differences between a sherry from Jerez and one from Sanlucar. Practical material covers the AVE high-speed rail network, the late dinner rhythm that confuses early-eating travelers, festival calendars, and the etiquette of la sobremesa.
