Spain is home to the third largest number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the world (48 in total!), including 15 World Heritage Cities, prehistoric settlements, national parks and biosphere reserves of exceptional natural beauty.&nbsp;<img src="https://ttand.imgix.net/spain-roman-aquaeduct-segovia-1623091688193.jpg" style="width: 315.046px; height: 205.208px;"> Photo:&nbsp;Roman Aqueduct in the historic city of Segovia&nbsp;(UNESCO World Heritage City since 1985)<h4>Enjoy some delicious tapas!</h4>If you are a foodie, Spain is the country for you! The “Spanish way of life” has many irresistible ingredients: open minded and welcoming peoples, long hours of sunshine through the year and a rich gastronomy that Spaniards love to enjoy in company of others!Here you can enjoy ground breaking, creative cuisine at Michelin starred restaurants as well as delicious traditional dishes at bars and local food markets. In fact, one of our favourite activities is going out with friends for “tapas” and “pintxos”, moving from one venue to another to sample small bites of delicious food bursting with flavour.&nbsp;Even in the most traditional restaurants it is customary for the starters to be served as tapas or small aperitifs to share.&nbsp; <h4><img src="https://ttand.imgix.net/spain-tapas-1623160141982.jpg" style="width: 314.846px; height: 314.846px;"> </h4>Photo: Tapas in Spain<h4>Hike (or dive!) in a protected natural space!</h4>If you are passionate about nature, sports and adventure, keep reading!&nbsp; Did you know that Spain is the second country in the world with the highest number of UNESCO-designated Biosphere Reserves? In fact, almost a third of the land and around 12 percent of the marine surface areas are protected!&nbsp; This means thousands of miles of hiking routes and bicycle tracks, perfect beaches for surfing and diving, horse riding routes along the coastline…. you name it!Spain also maintains an active attitude towards promoting sustainable tourism, thanks to which you can enjoy protected natural resources such as forests, valleys, volcanoes, dunes, lakes, cliffs, waterfalls, canyons… and even marine prairies of oceanic Posidonia! El Hierro (Canary Islands, Spain) is one of these natural jewels. This volcanic island, famous for its pristine natural spaces and an exceptional marine life, attracts hikers and divers from all over the world.&nbsp; In 2014, it became the world’s first completely self-sufficient island with all-renewable energy sources, thanks to a hybrid hydro-wind electricity system!The island of El Hierro (Canary Islands) is one of Spain’s 52 spaces declared Biosphere Reserves by the UNESCO. It has 46 dive sites and a spectacular volcanic scenery full of contrasts. <img src="https://ttand.imgix.net/spain-el-hierro-canary-islands-2-1623091778625.jpg" style="width: 303px;"> Photo:&nbsp;The island of El Hierro (Canary Islands) is one of Spain’s 52 spaces declared Biosphere Reserves by the UNESCO.

If you are looking to enjoy some peace and quiet, leaving all of your stress and daily routine behind, there are plenty of destinations in Spain that will help you unwind.Swimming in the open sea, hiking to soft sandy beaches and cycling along the seafront are just some of the activities on offer in the coastline. You can also set sail and discover small coves of turquoise waters, eat fresh fish next to the port, admire sunsets with spectacular views and enjoy entertainment activities at night.<img src="https://ttand.imgix.net/spain-sailing-in-the-balearic-islands-1623091843502.jpg" style="width: 306.01px; height: 201.181px;"> Photo: Sailing in the Balearic Islands, Spain	 Spain is also an ideal destination for water sports enthusiasts, as it is surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea, the Atlantic Ocean and the Cantabrian Sea. The sun shines for most of the year and some places simply have perfect weather conditions for water sports, including surfing and diving.
