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
