Updated: Aug 21

This is every Spain guide we've written, all in one place. We built this site region by region, coast by coast, town by town, and it's grown into more than we expected. If you're planning a trip, a slow travel year, or a move, start wherever your Spain begins.

Everything here is grouped the way we actually think about the country: by coast, by region, by the towns and provinces we've gone deeper on, and by the practical stuff, trains, driving, and moving, that makes it all workable.

Spain by Coast

Spain has roughly 8,000 kilometers of coastline and no two stretches of it feel the same. Here's every coast we've covered, north to south.

Deeper Dives: Provinces and Towns

Some places earned their own dedicated guide beyond the regional overview.

Comunitat Valenciana

Catalonia

Andalucía

Aragón & Murcia

Traditions and pastoral culture: The Vaqueiros of Asturias — the ancient cattle people of the mountain brañas, still alive in Somiedo. The Madrid sheep walk and trashumancia — thousands of sheep walking through downtown Madrid, legally, every October.

Nature, Sky, and Sea

Cranes at Gallocanta — up to 135,000 cranes at the largest salt lake in Spain. One of Europe's great winter wildlife spectacles, Aragón.

Vultures in Spain — four species, Monfragüe for griffons at eye level, the Pyrenees for the bone-dropping bearded vulture.

Where to See the Iberian Ibex — the best wildlife experience in Spain for families. Nearly guaranteed sightings in Gredos and Sierra Nevada.

The Pasiegos of Cantabria — the mountain cattle herders who built the Pas valley, and their extraordinary sobaos.

Whale Watching in Dénia — record fin whale sightings off the Costa Blanca. Easy family half-day from Valencia.

Whale Watching in Tenerife — resident pilot whales year-round in the UNESCO Whale Heritage Site channel.

Dolphin Watching in Mallorca — 80-90% dolphin sighting rates off the north coast of Mallorca.

Whale Watching in the Bay of Biscay — 24 cetacean species, the Brittany Ferries crossing as the whale-watching experience.

Motril — the working heart of the Costa Tropical: sugarcane history, rum, subtropical fruit, and the port to Africa.

Torrox — claims Europe's best climate, and the data backs it up. An honest firsthand take.

Stargazing

Trains and Getting Around Without a Car

One of the best things about basing yourself in Spain is how much of it opens up by train.
