Hot-blooded Spain has produced some of the world's greatest painters, sculptors and architects. Blessed with immense natural beauty, the beaches, islands, sierras, mountains and fjord-like rias, offer nature enthusiasts as much as the festivals, tapas bars, museums, medieval castles and discos offer the hedonist. Witness a fiery Flamenco, get splattered at the tomato festival, luxuriate in a languid siesta, sip sangria by the beach, go bargain-hunting at a flea market or party the night away at a disco. To get under Spanish skin read Hemingway's 'For Whom the Bell Tolls', watch movies by director Pedro Almodovar and listen to the sounds of Paco de Lucia's guitar.
Best time to visit: May, June and September all over, and April and October in the south. The highest monthly average high in Spain is 33°C in July and lowest monthly average is 0°C in January. July and August is hottest, when temperatures can climb to 45°C. Though it is mostly sunny all over, there are huge contrasts in weather throughout, depending on altitude and proximity to the sea. Coastal areas are mild but the interior gets cold and snowy.
Seafood along the coast and meatier dishes in the interiors, Spaniards love their tapas with beer or wine. The variety comes from regional, cultural and climatic variations. And the healthy, fresh ingredients added to a make-over by revolutionary chefs has made Spanish cuisine the in thing in world-wide culinary circles.
A Picasso print, a sculpture or a relic, a Spanish guitar or traditional music CD, red wine, Almodovar's movies, a traditional dress.
