Why Spain
1 / 6Sagrada Família, BarcelonaSpain is really several countries sharing a passport. Catalonia, Andalusia and the Basque Country have their own languages, their own food and their own idea of what Spain is — and the distance between them is part of the pleasure.
The south carries eight centuries of Moorish rule in its architecture; Barcelona carries Gaudí's singular imagination. Our Spanish routes are built to show that contrast rather than smooth it over, and they run on Spanish time — late lunches, later dinners.
Highlights of Spain
Alhambra, Granada
A Nasrid palace-fortress of courtyards, water and carved stucco.
Park Güell
Mosaic terraces and organic forms above Barcelona.
Plaza de España, Seville
A vast tiled crescent built for the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition.
Mezquita, Córdoba
A cathedral inside a forest of Moorish arches.
Ibiza Old Town
A UNESCO-listed walled town above the island's famous coastline.
Planning a Spain Trip from India
Spain is best approached by region rather than as one country — Barcelona and Catalonia, Madrid and the centre, Andalusia in the south with Granada, Seville and Córdoba, and the northern coast, which surprises people by being green and cool.
The high-speed AVE network makes the distances workable: Madrid to Seville or Barcelona takes under three hours. Ten to fourteen nights covers two regions properly, and the Spanish day runs late, with dinner rarely before 9pm.
Best Time to Visit Spain
- April–June
- Ideal almost everywhere. Andalusia is warm but not yet punishing, and spring festivals fall in this window.
- July–August
- Southern Spain regularly passes 40°C. The northern coast and mountains are the sensible summer choice.
- September–October
- Warm, quieter, and still good for the coast. One of the best value windows.
- November–March
- Mild in the south, cold in the centre and north. Cities are calm and cheap.

Spain Travel FAQs
Do Indian citizens need a visa for Spain?
Yes. Spain is a Schengen state, so Indian passport holders need a Schengen visa in advance with the standard EUR 30,000 travel insurance requirement. See our visa guide for documents and processing times, and confirm current rules with the official Spanish mission.
How many days do we need in Spain?
Ten to fourteen nights for two regions — Barcelona plus Andalusia, say, or Madrid plus the south. Spain is bigger than most first-time visitors expect, though the AVE high-speed trains make the long legs painless. A week realistically covers one region well.
Should we book the Sagrada Família and Alhambra in advance?
Yes, and the Alhambra especially. It caps daily visitor numbers and the Nasrid Palaces are entered in timed slots that sell out weeks ahead in season. The Sagrada Família also uses timed entry. Both are the kind of booking to make before you finalise your dates.
