Sun, Style, and Timeless Charm
Head to the Sierra Nevada in winter, where you can ski in the morning and sunbathe on the Mediterranean coast by afternoon. The Basque Country and northern regions like San Sebastián and Santander offer some of Europe’s best waves.
The midday pause remains sacred in many towns. Shops may close, but life resumes with evening strolls along the paseo. Every town has its heart in a plaza, where locals gather for coffee, gossip, and people-watching. Instead of one big dinner, do as the Spaniards do: hop from bar to bar, sampling small plates with friends.
