Introduction
Our travels have taken us across the length and breadth of Spain's varied regions, over its wide plains and imposing 'sierras', through charming villages, historic cities, and along an extensive coastline of dramatic scenery and hidden coves. It is however the picturesque landscapes and coastlines of Catalunya, Andalucia and Galicia that have captured our attention.
In the north east, by the Mediterranean, the pine-clad hillsides that tumble down into idyllic coves draw 'aficionados' of Catalunya back to its shores time and time again. In the west, it is the Caribbean-like sandy beaches and historic cities that make Galicia such a favoured destination, whilst in the southerly climes of Andalucia the scent of orange blossom wafts through dazzling white 'pueblos blancos' and seemingly endless golden sands line the shores.
