1. Tourism is an incredibly important source of income to the Spanish economy. Spain is well known for its beautiful historical monuments, tranquil Mediterranean beaches, and exciting nightlife. Many of the tourists that travel to the different regions of the country are from France, Portugal, Britain, Central Europe and Scandinavia. Tourists from the United States aren't as frequent visitors but they do spend substantially more money during their stay than tourists from other countries do.
2. The most popular cities in Spain are Madrid, Barcelona, Grenada, and Toledo. In these four cities alone, one can find a tremendous mix of culture as well as seemingly endless historical sites, festivals, and gorgeous landscapes, but the country is full of major tourist attractions. The Alcazar de Segovia, Escorial, Sagrada Familia, and the Aqueduct of Segovia are among the popular historical sites to visit. Other than site seeing, people flock to Spain during all seasons to either relax on its beautiful beaches or go skiing in the Pyrenees.
3. Spain has 14 national parks, some of which have the UNESCO World Heritage designation. Most of these national parks have a good amount of restrictions when it comes to tourism due to the preservation of the parks being crucial to the survival of the species that seek refuge in them. The most popular national parks are Garajonay, Sierra Nevada, and Doñana.
4. Spanish history has been well preserved through art, as many kings commissioned paintings and artifacts from the Americas to be preserved. The country has one of the largest collections of art in Europe. Most of this art is displayed in popular museums across the country, with the most visited being the Museo Nacional del Prado, the Guggenheim Museum, and the Museo de Bellas Artes.
