La Rioja is first and foremost wine country, but it also boasts delicious cuisine. Here you can also find centuries of history, cathedrals and monasteries, with perfectly preserved World Heritage Sites.

Formentera

The smallest inhabited Balearic Island, which can only be reached by boat, has a unique charm. You’ll experience it yourself when you see its amazing turquoise blue water and white sands. Although tourism has increased in recent years, there are still unspoilt beaches and unique natural settings, with hardly any tall buildings. We recommend visiting in June, September and October, when it’s less crowded.Some must-see spots: Ses Illetes beach, La Mola lighthouse, the hippie markets, Caló d´es Mort, and sunset from Cala Saona.Read more about Formentera.

Santander

Iconic buildings, culture, beaches, cuisine… There are too many reasons for a trip to Santander to list here. If you decide to visit in summer you’ll have more sunshine, but winter in northern Spain has its own unique charm.Some must-see spots: La Magdalena peninsula, the cathedral, Plaza de Pedro Velarde, Sardinero beach, Cabo Mayor lighthouse, and the Centro Botín.Read more about Santander.

Toledo

This is one of the most beautiful and characterful medieval cities in Spain, where for centuries Christians, Jews and Muslims lived together in peace. Its narrow cobbled streets, heritage buildings and horseshoe arches will have you dreaming of past ages.Some must-see spots: La Bisagra gate, the mosque of Cristo de la Luz, Plaza del Zocodover, the Alcázar of Toledo, the cathedral, and the viewing point over the river Tagus.Read more about Toledo

Cádiz

It doesn’t matter if you prefer the beach or the countryside, because the city and province of Cádiz give you both options. And nibbling pescaito frito and enjoying a drink on one of its lively streets is a perfect way to spend time as a couple. The festive atmosphere is the same all year, but if you want to go swimming off its beaches of golden sand, it’s best to go from May to October, when the weather is dry and warm.Some must-see spots: the seafront promenade, La Caleta beach, Santa Catalina castle, Plaza de las Flores, and the Pópulo neighbourhood.Read more about Cadiz
