Spain is such a fascinating country. Going to each different region feels like you’re going to a completely different country.
I’ve been lucky enough to see a lot of Spain. I’ve lived in Andalucía and Catalunya, and visited lots of the rest of the country. Here are a few places I recommend visiting – though it’s by no means an extensive list!

Volcano-Hopping in Olot, Spain
Here's a photo from a place in Spain you probably haven't heard of - Olot! I'd never heard of it either, but I ended up going last summer once I heard it had volcanoes. Yep, you read that right. Real volcanoes, in Spain. No, they're not active anymore, but it's still...
