Spain from North to South Trip

Trip Description
As you can imagine, I really find it difficult to choose the best places to visit in Spain. Spain an area of great contrasts, with the Mediterranean Sea in the east and the Atlantic coast to the west. In the center, you will find huge mountain ranges such as the Pyrenees, the Cantabrian mountains and further south La Meseta, with a high altitude that constitutes the heart of Spain. The nature and landscapes of northern Spain are beautiful, wild and lush. The landscapes alternate sea and mountains, and offer excellent opportunities for a holiday. While much of the tourism is concentrated in the south, northern Spain enjoys a calm and relaxed atmosphere.
