Tours of Spain

Spain

Spain is a country of large geographical and cultural diversity, often a surprise for tourists who are expecting to find a country mostly known for beach tourism. Travel to Spain and you will find everything, from lush meadows, green valleys, hills and snowy mountains in the Northern regions to almost desert zones in the South.

A complete Spain tour begins from the famous beaches to an unlimited amount of cultural experience.

Before going in a Spain tour read the online Travel Guide Spain. It will give you a lot of suggestions and tips.

Food

Robust olive oil, garlic, coriander, and saffron flavor the cuisine, complemented by local wines-deep reds from Spain’s Rioja, and Portugal’s sparkling vinho verde and velvety Port. You’ll enjoy colorful presentations of seafood, veal, grilled fish, and of course Spain’s famed paella, gazpacho, and endless variety of tapas. Wine in Spain is popular and each region has its own specialty.

At the fancy tourist restaurants, eating in Madrid prices are comparable to those in New York, London, or Paris, but there are also many inexpensive, off the beaten path taverns and corporate restaurants.

Shopping

Not even the tax-free shops at the airports can compete with prices in the Canaries. Liqueurs, tobacco, cameras and film cameras, tape recorders, transistor radios, watches, are all cheaper here than in the countries of their origin.

  • The dessert

The Northern California desert is famous for the outdoor adventures, the art galleries in Palm Desert, hot air ballooning over Joshua Tree, or the hundreds of birds at the Salton Sea.

  • North coast

Discover nature preserves, forests and rugged trails of California’s North Coast, and you’ll also discover artist enclaves, fine dining and music festivals.

The giant tree your can drive through near Redwoods State Park is one of the area’s most famous landmarks, as are the wineries of Sonoma county.

  • Silicon Valley

Silicon Valley is one of the best places on earth to start a company. Entrepreneurs from the USA and all over the world come here to turn their dreams into reality.

Silicon Valley’s long list of innovations is a byproduct of our greatest assets—the bright people and the smart ideas that call the Valley home. Our region boasts a remarkable concentration of entrepreneurial savvy, innovative thinking, free-wheeling technical creativity, cultural diversity, and intellectual energy, all of which make it the right place for visionary people and forward-looking companies to locate. Silicon Valley’s main benefit is perhaps going to be cleaning out the dead-wood (competing social networking sites makes it harder to social network). Most growth sectors of the economy need a periodic cold-bath to control their excesses.
