Oh, Spain. One of my favorite countries, a place I once called home and somewhere I will sing the praises of forever. Few countries in the world offer a variety of unique landscapes, however, the stunning and interesting history as Spain does, and its Mediterranean location means that a trip here is do-able year-round.
Costa Brava, Spain.
Spain has an experience for even the most discerning traveler. Love nothing more than a busy cityscape? Spain has it. An island paradise with cocktails on tap? Spain has it. A charming village retreat with Spanish olives aplenty? Spain has it.
There’s a reason this Mediterranean island continues to be one of the most popular countries in Europe. And with Airbnb offering stays across every pocket in Spain, now there’s no excuse not to explore as much of this country as you can.
My expert-chosen list of the most awesome Airbnbs in Spain offers stays in a vast variety of cities, islands, beachside locales, and villages. I just know you’ll fall in love with the country.
