Spain
Whether it's the culture-defining metropolises of Madrid, Barcelona, and Sevilla on the mainland, the beach towns of Valencia and Malaga, or the ritzy islands of Ibiza and Mallorca, Spain has practically everything you could ever want in a country. It’s also surprisingly mountainous with rolling vineyards, cliffside neighborhoods, and trails at Montserrat—arguably the best day trip you can take from Barcelona with its tiny, monk-inhabited village, impressive art museum, and bouldered, rose-hued peaks.
