Barcelona, Spain

Barcelona, Spain

13 Barcelona Hotels With a Rooftop Pool Above the Eixample Grid

At street level every block looks like the last. From a roof the grid resolves, and between June and September the pool is not optional.

Granada, Spain

Granada, Spain

8 Granada Hotels, and the Alhambra Slot You Must Book First

A half-hour window printed on the ticket and tied to your identification. Miss it and you do not get in. Book it before the flights.

Ibiza, Spain

Ibiza, Spain

10 Ibiza Hotels on the Quiet Northern Half

Two reputations on one island 45 kilometres long. The mistake is booking one half while expecting the other.

La Rioja, Spain

La Rioja, Spain

6 Rioja Hotels Among the Station-Quarter Bodegas

An aphid destroyed French vineyards, Bordeaux came south to buy, and the railway arrived in 1880. The cellars were built beside the platform.

Madrid, Spain

Madrid, Spain

11 Madrid Hotels Inside the Golden Triangle, Between the Prado and the Reina Sofia

Nobody sees the Prado properly in one visit. Staying ten minutes away is what turns a four-hour march into three short sessions.

Marbella and the Costa del Sol, Spain

Marbella and the Costa del Sol, Spain

12 Marbella Hotels on the Golden Mile Beachfront

A fishing village until a Spanish aristocrat brought a European set to it in the 1950s. The hotel he opened in 1954 is still there.

Menorca, Spain

Menorca, Spain

7 Menorca Hotels on the Quiet Balearic

Mallorca and Ibiza went one way in the 1970s. Menorca went the other, and in 1993 it locked the decision in.

Palma de Mallorca, Spain

Palma de Mallorca, Spain

9 Palma Hotels in the Casco Antiguo, Away From the Resort Coast

A plain stone facade on a lane, a heavy door, and a patio with a well and orange trees behind it. Most visitors to the island never see this.

San Sebastian and Bilbao, Spain

San Sebastian and Bilbao, Spain

10 Basque Hotels Inside the Pintxos Crawl

One or two things per bar, eaten standing, then out. The format is the reason the food is what it is, and it only works on foot.

Seville, Spain

Seville, Spain

10 Seville Hotels Built Around a Shaded Patio

Air cools over the fountain, sinks into the courtyard and draws through the rooms. Passive cooling that predates air conditioning by a thousand years.

The Canary Islands, Spain

The Canary Islands, Spain

1 Canary Island Resorts for European Winter Sun

A cool current running past a hot latitude, with trade winds across it. That is why an archipelago off the Sahara is temperate in midwinter.

The Costa Brava, Spain

The Costa Brava, Spain

8 Costa Brava Hotels on the Coast a Journalist Named

The Pyrenees run out into the sea here, so the shoreline is granite and pine, and the path along the cliffs was built to watch for smugglers.

Valencia, Spain

Valencia, Spain

8 Valencia Hotels Between the Old Town and the Turia Riverbed

After the 1957 flood the city moved the river and refused to build a motorway in the bed. What it built instead is the reason to stay here.
