Spain Years after the peak of this great empire, Spain continues to conquer the heart of many a student traveler. With one flourish of a matador’s cape or flamenco dancer's dress in Sevilla, you'll be captivated. Don't fight it. Just go ahead and live out all those fantasies from The Sun Also Rises. Surrender to a table of tapas and paella, the Moorish architecture of Granada's Alhambra, Gaudí’s architectural oddities in Barcelona, the madness of Pamplona’s San Fermin festival, a slice of perfect San Sebastián beach in Basque Country, or the gothic cathedral in "holy Toledo." A few sangria-filled nights in Ibiza and you might feel like Picasso's Guernica, but it's probably worth it and likely what Papa Hemingway would have wanted.
