Spain

Spain runs on late dinners, long sobremesas and a calendar built around festivals. Each region speaks its own dialect of the country: Moorish palaces in Andalusia, Modernista architecture in Catalonia, Atlantic cider country in Asturias, dry plateau and castle-studded plains in Castile. Tapas culture, world-class museums and a coastline that swings from rugged to bath-warm make it endlessly re-visitable.
