Spain

Spain is a vibrant crossroads of history and culture where Roman ruins, Moorish palaces, and Gothic cathedrals sit alongside cutting-edge art and cuisine. From the flamenco rhythms of Seville to the surreal architecture of Antoni Gaudí in Barcelona, the country blends tradition and innovation with effortless flair. Its landscapes range from sun-drenched Mediterranean beaches to the rugged Pyrenees, while tapas culture and late-night plazas reflect a way of life built around community, celebration, and savoring the moment.

Barcelona (2019-12-17)

Barcelona is a Mediterranean city where avant-garde creativity meets centuries-old tradition, best seen in the fantastical spires of Sagrada Família and the mosaic-covered terraces of Park Güell. Set between sandy beaches and forested hills, it blends seaside relaxation with buzzing street life along La Rambla. From Catalan cuisine and lively markets to football passion at FC Barcelona’s stadium, the city pulses with art, architecture, and an infectious love of life.

Monserrat (2019-12-20)

Perched like a stone crown above the plains of Catalonia, Montserrat is one of Spain’s most mystical landscapes—its serrated peaks rising in improbable shapes that have inspired legends for centuries. Nestled within the cliffs sits the Benedictine Santa Maria de Montserrat Abbey, home to the revered Black Madonna, or La Moreneta, a wooden statue believed to have miraculous powers and long associated with Catalan identity. Pilgrims, hikers, and artists alike are drawn to Montserrat not only for its spiritual aura but also for the surreal beauty of its rock formations, glowing amber at sunset while the plains of Barcelona shimmer in the distance below.
