Long a meeting point (and battleground) for myriad civilizations, the country brims over with remnants of a glorious, chaotic past. Fascinating pre-historical, Classical, Moorish and Christian sites rub shoulders with the marvelous legacies of 20th-century artists.

Once away from the holiday costas, you could only be in Spain. In the cities, narrow twisting old streets suddenly open out to views of daring modern architecture, while spit-and-sawdust bars serving wine from the barrel rub shoulders with blaring, glaring discos.

Travel is easy, accommodation plentiful, the climate benign, the people relaxed, the beaches long and sandy, the food and drink easy to come by and full of regional variety. More than 50 million foreigners a year visit Spain, yet you can also travel for days and hear nothing but Spanish.

The northern Catalonian city of Barcelona, Spain’s second largest, is the launching base for most of Spain’s yacht charters. Barcelona is a melting pot of gothic and medieval architecture and the culture and nightlife in Barcelona, is as good as anywhere.

The recent Spanish focus on modern marinas, has allowed for some fantastic new marina developments along the coast, where all sailors and yacht charters, are welcome.
