Spain is one of the most surprising and diverse countries in Europe. From the beautiful Pyrenees mountains and coastal towns in the north, the exciting cities with unique architecture, to the best beaches… it offers a lot.
I lived in Barcelona, Spain, for 2 years. First, I spent half a year studying and living in Barcelona during my exchange semester from my University.
Then, I returned to live in Barcelona and worked for the US tour operator.
Besides, I was traveling extensively throughout the entire country. Once, my friends and I went on a road trip through Catalonia. The other time, we rented a car and explored the entire Andalusia (southern Spain).
I walked the Camino de Santiago twice. The first was the Camino Frances with my 2 friends, which took us 3 weeks. The second time, I spent a month walking the Camino Norte with my cousin from Santiago and Finisterre.
I keep coming back to Spain, exploring more places to give you even more tips.
In this Spain travel guide, I’ll share all my travel experiences from Spain so you can plan your trip and have a great time (as if you were with a local guide).
