6 Best Regions of Spain to Visit

It’s daunting.

There’s so much to see in Spain, and so little time. When we planned our trip in 2019, we didn’t know where to start. We wanted it all… beaches, food, sunshine, culture, and history. But with 17 regions to choose from, Spain seemed just too big to fit into 1 trip.

To make your life easier, I’ve put together a shortlist of the best regions to visit in Spain for a newbie to the Iberian Peninsula. Each region includes attraction highlights, essential dishes to try, and best places to stay.

No two regions in Spain are the same. So, it’s a big mistake to only visit one or two cities and think you’ve done the country justice. I have to point out, this list isn’t exhaustive, it’s just a starting point. Hopefully, once you’ve had a taste of Spanish hospitality, you’ll come to the same realisation I did… there’s no such thing as too many trips to Spain.
