Roman cities, medieval towns, and wild, empty landscapes in Spain’s south-west.

Spain is far bigger than its famous cities. Each region here is a guide to a quieter corner — its landscapes, its old towns, the food it does best, and how to travel it at your own pace. Start with a region to see where a trip might take you.

Roman cities, medieval towns, and wild, empty landscapes in Spain’s south-west.

Andalucía is Spain’s deep south — Moorish palaces, whitewashed hill villages and quiet Atlantic coast. Skip the crowds and start in the Sierra de Cádiz white villages.

Castilla-La Mancha is Spain’s wide, empty heartland — windmills, castles and quiet walled cities like Toledo and Cuenca. Skip the crowds and explore the Don Quixote plains by car.
