Cheap Flights to Spain

Discover Spain

The Kingdom of Spain is bordered by the Mediterranean Sea on its southern and eastern sides, and by France, the Bay of Biscay, and Andorra to the north/northeast. Spain was the original global colonial empire, stretching its influence to the Americas to the point now where 500 million people speak its official language.

The country has a rich linguistic and cultural history as beautiful as its lively cities and natural landscapes. It is the nature of the Spaniards to live and work in a slow, relaxed atmosphere. This can come as a shock to foreigners, particularly tourists from the United States who are accustomed to fast-paced lifestyles. Taking your time and enjoying its sights in comfort are the best way to vacation in Spain!
