This region features a distinct Moorish influence. You'll also find brilliant white hill towns and hundreds of miles of coastline. While the beach resorts draw visitors from around the world, the real jewels of the region are the sophisticated cities of Sevilla, Granada, and Cordoba. The cuisine of Southern Spain has distinct Arab influences. Rice, lemons, oranges, olives, and grapes figure prominently, as well as spices such as saffron and cumin. The region is famous for its grilled fish, sardines, and fried squid. Some of best jamon serrano (cured ham) is sliced and served as tapas, which are small snacks that originally accompanied a glass of sherry. Tapas range from cold meats or cheeses to elaborately prepared hot dishes of seafood, meat, or vegetables.

The Baleares include Mallorca, Menorca, and Cabrera to the north, and Ibiza and Formentera to the southwest. With roughly 300 days of sunshine per year, the islands are a beach lover’s paradise. It’s no surprise, then, that every variety of large resort hotel and tourist operation can be found here. Nonetheless, there are also large expanses of open, unspoiled countryside and areas of fertile farmland.

The Canary Islands consist of seven main islands: Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote, Tenerife, La Palma, Gomera, and Hierro. There are also six islets. Volcanic in origin, the Canaries are known for their radically different landscapes, boasting everything from alpine forests and fertile valleys to arid plains and dramatic coastal cliffs. While it should be stated that the Canaries have their fair share of developed coastline, it is still possible to avoid the sunbathing throngs and appreciate the islands’ natural beauty. What to do? Besides soaking up the sun and taking dips in the Atlantic, you can bike, hike, surf, windsurf, snorkel, or scuba dive.
