Ah, Spain! The place where siestas are an art form and tapas are a culinary love affair. Marvel at the melodrama of flamenco dancers stomping their way through Seville, while in Madrid, Picasso's Guernica offers a slightly more sobering spectacle. From sun-kissed beaches to snow-capped peaks, it's not just the sangria causing your head to spin - it's the sheer diversity this tantalizing country has on offer. The only thing more impressive than the architecture, is trying to outwit a matador.

Blanes is in the autonomous community of Catalunya

Blanes, the crown jewel of Catalunya's Costa Brava, is a charming blend of relaxation and adventure.
