130 unique experiences to discover the authentic Spanish lifestyle

Spain Designed for Feeling, a new project to connect brands and travelers

Experience tourism takes a step forward with the launch of Spain Designed for Feeling (SDF), an initiative from the Leading Brands of Spain Forum (FMRE) that invites visitors to dive in and discover Spain through 130 authentic and memorable offerings. Each experience has been carefully commissioned by 45 of the country's best recognized brands. The catalog is broken down into six categories to connect travelers with Spanish culture, traditions, and lifestyle. Tourists will find two types of immersive experiences: the exclusive, aimed at those seeking tailor-made and luxury proposals, and the genuine, designed for the general public to access in a simple way.
