Living in Spain

Things to do

Visitors can explore ancient citadels such as the Alcazaba of Málaga or gaze upon iconic landmarks such as Gaudi's Sagrada Familia - arguably one of the most beautiful churches in the world. The stunning Guggenheim Museum is another example of a building that gained international fame for its ground-breaking architectural design.

Places to eat

Spanish cuisine is celebrated worldwide. The various regions all have their own culinary specialities and also offer up some of the finest wine on the planet. Tantalise your taste buds with dishes such as paella; a medley of seafood, vegetables, rice and meat. World-class cuisine can also be sampled by visiting various food markets like the Sant Antoni Market and La Boqueria in Barcelona, which are popular with tourists and locals alike for their range of fresh fruit and cooked delicacies.

Shopping

Those with a penchant for shopping will rejoice in Madrid, as it is one of the fashion capitals of the world. Lovers of high class fashion will find themselves exposed not only to the more classical names associated with European fashion (think along the lines of Gucci and Prada), but also a whole host of local designers each offering their own unique take on everything from shoes to handbags and jewellery.

Getting around

Spain's immense popularity with tourists has led to an extensive network of international airports offering affordable and convenient travel to major cities in Spain and further afield.
