Spain

L’Espagne is one of our favorite countries as every visit feels like going back home. The tasty paellas, fresh sangria, breath-taking beaches and the all round good vibes cannot be matched to other European countries. Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia, Girona, Mallorca, Ronda etc. beauty, beauty and more beauty is all we think when it comes to Spain. Of course Spain has a lot to offer historically, culturally and socially. Suffice it to say that one thing that motivates tourists is the affordable lifestyle is many Spanish cities. It makes visiting and exploring a lot more fun when you can splurge and just enjoy without breaking the bank!
