SPAIN

Spain is divided into seventeen autonomous regions which include the Balearic and Canary Islands. Each region has its own characteristics and the climate varies dramatically between the north and south.  The north with its mountains  rugged coastline and cooler weather, is virtually untouched by the tourist industry while many southern regions rely on tourism as their main source of income.  Food and wine production in the regions are also governed by the climate, with the north providing many dairy products and the south producing some of Spain's main exports including citrus fruits, olives, tomatoes and peppers.  Spanish wine production has grown to become a major industry, especially in areas which were not previously renowned for the quality of their wines. Many have adopted new manufacturing processes which have transformed their once localised wines into sought after vintages which are exported worldwide.

We have expanded our website to cover all the regions of Spain with information on towns and villages, hotels, villa and apartment rental, the food and wine of the various regions, webcams, holidays, videos and books.  This is an ongoing process and our aim is to provide a comprehensive coverage of all aspects of life in Spain. To find information on the various regions, click on the pictures below, to find specific towns and villages, use the a-z towns and cities button at the top of the page.  We hope you enjoy your visit to the site, please check back from time to time as we are adding features on a daily basis.
