Why Spain Should Be on Your Bucket List (And What Adapter You’ll Need to Charge Up While You're There!)

From flamenco rhythms echoing through Andalusian streets to world-class art museums, mouthwatering tapas, and golden Mediterranean beaches—Spain offers a travel experience like no other. Whether you're a history buff, foodie, beach lover, or adventure seeker, Spain effortlessly blends the old and the new to create a destination that captivates every kind of traveler.

1. A Feast for the Senses

Let’s start with the food. Spain is a culinary wonderland where each region brings its own signature flavors. Think sizzling plates of patatas bravas, paper-thin slices of jamón ibérico, creamy churros con chocolate, and fresh seafood paella by the sea. Combine that with a glass of Rioja wine or a local vermouth, and every meal becomes a celebration.

2. Rich History & Vibrant Culture

Wander through the Alhambra in Granada, marvel at Gaudí’s surreal architecture in Barcelona, or explore the medieval streets of Toledo. Spain is a living museum where ancient ruins, Moorish palaces, and Gothic cathedrals share space with modern art galleries and contemporary design.

3. Breathtaking Natural Landscapes

From the snow-capped Pyrenees to the volcanic terrain of the Canary Islands, Spain’s diverse landscapes offer something for everyone. Hike through lush forests in Galicia, relax on the beaches of Costa del Sol, or catch epic sunsets in Ibiza.


4. Festivals, Flamenco & Football

Spain knows how to party. Whether it’s La Tomatina, Semana Santa, or a local village fiesta, there’s always a celebration to join. Add in the passion of flamenco dancing and the roar of fútbol fans at a Real Madrid or FC Barcelona match, and you’ll find energy and excitement everywhere you go.


Don’t Forget Your Travel Adapter!

Before you pack your bags, make sure you’re ready to keep your devices charged in Spain. Spain uses Type B and Type GUB plugs and operates on a 230V supply voltage with a frequency of 50Hz. Most U.S. and Canadian devices require an adapter to fit into Spanish outlets—and in some cases, a voltage converter too.
