Why Spain is the world' largest in terms of number of tourists?

Question

I know it's a very beautiful and interesting country, But why not France or Italy for instance?!

Answer 1

Spain has beautiful beaches, and the Med. Sea isn't too cold to swim in in summer. To reason I went back to Spain was also that it was cheaper than going to France or Italy.

Answer 2

Actually, if I am not mistaken, Spain does come second to France ln annual number of tourists..
One of the main reasons Spain is in the top two is because of the great climate, coastal areas and fantastic beaches. Tourists love to spend their time lolling on the beach drenched in sunlight!

This is followed by the simple beauty of the country, the variety of places worth visiting, with multitude of magnificent historical sites...these span all periods of world history...going from prehistoric such as the Altamira Caves in Santander to the ultramodern titanium plate structure of the Guggenheim museum in Bilbao, which has only been open a few years. There are so many magnificent cities to visit that it would take you years to cover all of them...
The main cities, to start with, would be Madrid, the country's capital, then Barcelona, capital of the region of Catalonia.
After that take your pick...Santiago de Compostela in northern Galicia, Oviedo in Asturias, Burgos and Leon for their magnificent cathedrals, Salamanca, one of the first university towns in the world, Avila with its medieval walls, Tarragona, Castellón, Valencia and Alicante on the eastern coast...
.And all the main cities in Andalucía, such as Seville, Granada, Cádiz, Córdoba, Málaga (where I live), Jaen, Almería and Huelva. And these are just the larger cities... There are all the smaller towns also worth visiting... Toledo, Aranjuez, Segovia, Jerez de la Frontera, Mérida, etc. I could go on for hours..and this answer would be almost too long to read!
In resumé...Why do people come to Spain? Spain is a very welcoming and beautiful country! come to visit and you will see for yourself!
Bienvenido!

Answer 3

Spain just has so much diversity to offer tourists. There is alot of culture and wonderful architecture in places like Granada, Seville, Toledo and Cadiz to name just a few. Madrid has some excellent museums and art galleries as does Malaga.
Then of course there is the Cost del Sol which attracts thousands of tourists every year because of the wonderful weather, great beaches, night life and restaurants. A lot of work has been done on the infrastructure to make holidaying here easy and affordable and some great new atractions have been opened in recent years so there is plenty to do apart from lying on the beach.
If you want some more info. on places to go and things to do on the Costa and why it is one of Europe's premier holiday dedstinations then have a look at this page on my web site:-
