Vivaspain is a resource to discover the best of Spain. Spain's tourist trade has been truly rewarded by its panoramic natural resources: the soft and green hills of the north (Galicia, Asturias, Cantabria and the Basque Country), the wineyard area (La Rioja), the majestic Pyrenees in the northeast (Navarre and Aragon), the beautiful and cosmopolitan Mediterranean coast (Catalonia, Valencian Community, Balearic Islands, Murcia and Eastern Andalusia, including Costa del Sol), the old central plateau with all its history and the capital (Castile and Leon, Madrid and Castile-La Mancha), the beautiful and unknown south (Western Andalusia and Extremadura) and the tropical islands (Canary). We can not forget the two "african" Spanish cities by the moroccan border (Ceuta and Melilla).

Spain is one of the countries with more monuments and historic buildings due to a rich past and splendid present and future. Great civilizations influenced on the Spanish culture and lifestyle: Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Visigoths or Arabs.

Think of Spain and there are several familiar associations: bullfight, beautiful beaches, holiday resorts, golf courses, good weather, excellent food and wines, stars of sport like Pau Gasol, Rafa Nadal or Fernando Alonso or perhaps our musical and cinema exports, Julio Iglesias, Antonio Banderas, Penelope Cruz or Javier Bardem. But this land is also an adventure playground. Its diverse landscape is an inspiration to artists and photographers. Spain’s summers are hot and sunny, perfect to enjoy all the possibilities. During winter you can go skiing or playing golf in many courses around Spain or explore the inland, Castile (land of castles and mills) or Extremadura (land of conquerors and hunting paradise).
