Immigrate to Spain and experience life in Spain:
1. Paradise-like Mediterranean Beaches
Spain's long sandy Atlantic beaches and comfortable Mediterranean bays are renowned throughout Europe. Even the fact that it enjoys over 300 sunny days a year does not diminish its charm.
2. Beautiful Winding Mountains
Spain is the second most mountainous country in Europe after Switzerland. However, unlike Switzerland, Spain offers a unique experience where you can enjoy stunning mountains and, just an hour later, relax by the sea with a cocktail.
3. The Best Restaurants in the World
Spain's top chef Ferran Adrià's legendary restaurant El Bulli was the pinnacle of dining in its time, but another Catalan restaurant—El Celler de Can Roca—has since taken its place as the best restaurant in the world in 2013.
4. The Oldest Restaurant in the World
Casa Botín is the oldest continuously operating restaurant in the world (since 1725), where the Spanish painter Goya even worked as a waiter. Additionally, it offers a delightful roast suckling pig.
5. An Egyptian Temple
Yes, you read that right. In the heart of Madrid, there stands an Egyptian temple. Of course, the Egyptians did not live in Spain; this Temple of Debod is actually a gift from Egypt since 1968.
6. Numerous Ancient Roman Ruins
While Italy is known for its famous ancient Roman sites, ancient Spain also boasts many well-preserved Roman ruins. For instance, the Roman theater in Mérida is still frequently used for performances today.
7. Moorish Palaces
The Moors ruled Andalusia (ancient Spain) for nearly 800 years, and their vast influence is reflected in the language and famous landmarks of Spain, such as the Alhambra in Granada.
8. Legendary Festivals
Many regions are famous for their unique carnival celebrations, but few can match the whimsical festivities of Spain. The annual Tomatina festival is a favorite, while the 2013 Running of the Bulls in Pamplona attracted nearly 100,000 spectators.
9. Countless Festivals Awaiting Your Discovery
Most Spanish villages have their own summer festivals, featuring folk dances, towering human sculptures, eye-catching performers, and battles involving paint, sweets, grapes, and oranges.
10. Stunning Magnificent Churches
Spain is home to a variety of churches, including Gaudí's modern masterpiece, the Sagrada Família, and the world-renowned pilgrimage site, the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela.
11. A 1000-Year-Old Mosque
Indeed, Europe is dotted with various churches, but does a 1000-year-old mosque hold more allure for you? The Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba is unique in Europe and was designated a World Heritage Site in 1984.
12. A Magical Water Park
Located in Tenerife, Lago Martiánez is an oasis adorned with azure waters, palm trees, and volcanic rocks, elevating this water park to an art form. Moreover, you can spend an entire day here for less than the cost of sunscreen.
13. Abundant Hidden Coves
Calas de Mallorca is a classic in Spain. Let’s skip the city beaches and head to the Balearic Islands, where you will discover these gem-like small coves nestled between pine trees and crystal-clear blue waters.
14. World-Famous Wines
La Rioja produces many of the best wines in the world, including the best wine as rated by Wine Spectator in 2013. Since most wines are produced and consumed domestically, they are quite affordable.
15. Delicious Tapas with Your Drinks
It is a long-standing tradition in Spain to receive delicious snacks when purchasing drinks. In some cities (especially smaller ones), it is entirely possible to enjoy a full dinner just by buying a drink.
16. The Home of Painter Salvador Dalí
You can admire the artistic treasures of this place, pausing to appreciate the Cadillac in the courtyard or the giant egg on the roof.
17. Roast Chicken Cooked by a Volcano
Yes, you read that right. On Lanzarote, you can hike up the volcano in Timanfaya National Park in the morning and then enjoy a meal cooked over the volcanic heat.
18. Flower-Covered Homes
In Andalusia, many village homes are adorned with vibrant bougainvillea, and Córdoba even hosts an annual competition for the most beautiful flower-covered home, attracting thousands of visitors.
19. Countless Varieties of Delicious Paella
From rabbit to snails, mussels, and prawns, the ingredients for paella come from all over Spain, developing many local varieties that have become a source of pride in many provinces. Lucky foodies, what are you waiting for in the face of these mouth-watering delicacies?
20. Mediterranean Lifestyle, Would You Like to Join?
Although the lifestyle here (such as the daily siesta) sounds more like a leisurely myth than a busy reality, enjoying a relaxed lunch with family, taking a lazy Sunday nap, and spending long summer days at the beach is indeed a wonderfully appealing experience.
