A taste of Spain

Barcelona runs on Gaudí, vermut and a 2 a.m. dinner culture; Madrid keeps later hours and bigger paintings — the Prado is unfair to other museums. Granada hands you a free tapa with every drink and the Alhambra above; Seville does flamenco in courtyards and tapas crawls through Triana.

The country is too varied for a single trip. The Basque coast does pintxos and surf; Andalusia does white villages and sherry; Galicia does the Camino's end and octopus boiled in copper pots; the Canaries do volcanic black sand under year-round sun. Eat late. Nap if you need to.
