Letter from the General Manager of Turespaña
Dear partners and tourism industry professionals, As spring arrives, travelers seek fresh air, wellness, nature, and a chance to disconnect. Spain presents one of the most appealing options for your April, May, and June itineraries: unique natural destinations and ready-to-market experiences.
Spain boasts the highest biodiversity in Europe and is a global leader in terms of Biosphere Reserves, offering up an unparalleled array of options: - Cycling and hiking with real soul, because it’s not just about walking, but embarking on transformative journeys like the Way of St. James or the network of Greenways with their exceptional landscapes, diversity, and authenticity—ideal for sustainable tourism and eco-friendly mobility. Those who come to walk, come back again. - Our 16 National Parks. Ranging from high mountains to volcanic areas, marshlands, and Mediterranean forests, these parks are spread across Spain and its islands. They offer up the perfect destinations for spring and autumn, as active tourism meets nature in its purest form. - Distinctive activities immersed in nature, such as birdwatching in Monfragüe (Extremadura); astrotourism at Starlight Destinations like the Canary Islands, Sierra Morena, or Teruel; and spectacular spring blooms including the cherry blossoms of the Jerte Valley, almond trees in Cieza and Mallorca, and the lavender fields of Brihuega. And for those seeking wellness, a selection of retreats can be enjoyed in extraordinary settings like the Bardenas Reales in Navarre or the Redes Nature Park in Asturias. These are authentic, sensory, and emotional experiences, ideal for the increasingly discerning tourist looking to travel at a relaxed pace, connect deeply with their surroundings, and create unforgettable memories. Spain is its nature: a “small continent” in itself thanks to its geographical and climatic diversity, boasting exclusive destinations and excellent transport links to enjoy year-round. On spain.info and through our Tourism Advisors abroad, you’ll find inspiration and carefully curated nature experiences ready to boost your sales this season. Count on Spain to offer your clients a breath of fresh air, authentic experiences, and wellness. Warm regards, Miguel Sanz Director General of TURESPAÑA
