About Spain for visitors

Spain seduces visitors with golden beaches, Moorish architecture, and siesta-paced living — Barcelona's Gaudí masterpieces and Mediterranean waterfront compete with Seville's flamenco tradition, Granada's Alhambra, and the Costa del Sol's resort sprawl. Summer beach seekers and cultural wanderers overlap across the country.

Madrid-Barajas (MAD) is Spain's largest hub; Barcelona (BCN), Málaga (AGP), and Alicante (ALC) split Mediterranean traffic. Immigration processing is typically smooth, though Madrid peaks during summer months.
