/ Spain
Sun, tapas and southern art of living
Spain is the land of fiesta, sun and conviviality, where dinner is late, plazas invite you to linger and every city has its soul. From elegant Madrid to creative Barcelona, by way of Moorish Andalusia, the country offers an incredible diversity of cultures, landscapes and flavours. For a Cameroonian traveller, Spain charms with its human warmth, reasonable prices for Western Europe and a relaxed Latin vibe. Between world-class museums, tapas at all hours and lively nights, a short stay is sure to leave you wanting to return.
