Spain is a country located within Mediterranean region. With an excellent weather it attracts huge amount of tourists on every year.
Here are some quality reasons you should consider to visit Spain.
1. The sun, sun and sun
The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain, if indeed at all, as the country is statistically Europe’s sunniest. The coastal resorts of the Mediterranean enjoy, on average, more than 300 days of sunshine each year – well into the autumn and winter months.
2. Its enviable cities
Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia, Seville, Malaga. Too many of the world’s must-visit cities are found in Spain, from the cultural majesty of the capital, Madrid, to the trendy, proudly-Catalonian air of Barcelona, visitors plotting a trip are spoilt for choice.
3. The cultural giants
While on the topic of Spain’s notable artistic exports, visitors will grace the same shores of surrealist Salvador Dali (the Teatro Museo Dali in his hometown of Figueres is a must), architect Antoni Gaudi (Barcelona is home to the unfinished cathedral, Sagrada Familia, as well as a number of other projects) and painter Pablo Picasso (his birthplace of Malaga has a museum home to some 300 works).
4. It has lesser-known treats - like La Coruna
"Lurking in the north-west corner of Spain, this Galician port (turismocoruna.com) soothes its scuffed, salty soul on a pair of glorious urban beaches – Playa del Orzan and Playa de Riazor. Its cramped medieval lanes are abuzz with tapas bars, its Museo de Belas Artes (museobelasartescoruna.xunta.es) is an underrated nugget of visual wonder which boasts sketches by Spanish romantic Goya."

6. It's only a few hours away
A flight from London to Barcelona is just two hours, while one to the south coast is still less than three. And airfares are usually cheap.
7. It has one of the world’s greatest rail journeys
The El Transcantábrico is billed as a five-star ‘cruise on rails’ and covers 400 miles between León and Santiago de Compostela, journeying via Bilbao and Santander in northern Spain on narrow-gauge tracks, with excursions by luxury coach each day to parts the train can't reach.
8. It's still good value
The pound may have taken a hit against the euro of late, but Spain remains one of the best value destinations in Europe for a summer getaway, with the Costa del Sol, Costa Brava and Gijón commended earlier this year by the Post Office for low in-resort prices.
9. It boasts more than just the mainland
Tenerife, Lanzarote, Gran Canaria – take your pick from these sun-kissed holiday Canary Island isles. Each has an enviable abundance of excellent hotels.
10. A healthy - and weird - range of festivals
Beyond the likes of Sonar in Barcelona and Benicassim, in, well, Benacassim, there is of course La Tomatina, the tomato-throwing shindig, and a variety of running of the bulls events to maybe steer clear of.
