An itinerary may include local festivals, where the traveler can see what is important to the local culture, and bring back souvenirs that will spark memories of those times. Spain has beaches and parks for those days when a tourist wants nothing more than to relax.

If a traveler likes railroads, he/she can travel throughout Spain aboard Rail Europe. Some of the passes they offer are even good for crossing borders, such as Spain/Portugal or Spain/France passes that are good for several days.

Ski trips are available in Spain travel information packets, and mountaineering is a popular reason for visiting there. In preparation for the journey, there are even online Spanish lessons offered so one need not be in too much trouble trying to communicate with the locals.

Individuals may not have to spend quite as much of their vacation money as they thought. A traveler always hopes for a hospitable welcome, and the hospitality afforded to travelers in a foreign land is well described in Job 31:32: The stranger did not lodge in the street: but I opened my doors to the traveller.
