Spain

60 stories from the archive.

Spain has been woven into the story of PURE Vacations from the beginning, and few destinations feature more strongly across our travel writing.

Our coverage stretches along the Mediterranean from the Costa Brava and Catalonia to the Costa del Sol and Andalusia, while the islands bring a completely different character through Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera. Further south and west, Tenerife, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura and Gran Canaria reveal the volcanic landscapes and year-round appeal of the Canary Islands.

Beyond the coast, our stories explore Barcelona, Madrid, Seville, Granada, Segovia, Tarragona, Besalú and Cadaqués, alongside resorts whose identities have evolved over generations of European travel, including Lloret de Mar, Benidorm, Torremolinos and Magaluf.

Food, culture, beaches, history, surfing, skiing and the changing face of Spanish tourism all appear throughout the collection. Together they create a deep and personal picture of a country that has played an important role in European travel for decades and continues to reinvent itself.
