Like every country in the world, Spain reveals itself little by little, visit after visit. The country is one of the world’s top tourist destinations 🌍! <a href="kavval://cities/85f33e2d-9c77-4334-8f26-7147e4a1a60d" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Barcelona</a> still holds a special place in the hearts of French teenagers looking for a first holiday destination. You have to admit the Catalan city has a few advantages: lively, on the sea, top-notch ☀️ weather, and just an hour from the French border. The <a href="kavval://tags/mountain" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">mountain</a> areas surrounding <a href="kavval://cities/85f33e2d-9c77-4334-8f26-7147e4a1a60d" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Barcelona</a> are magnificent, starting with Mont Serrat adorned with its namesake <a href="https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbaye_de_Montserrat" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">abbey</a>... A place and a view you can’t miss! Still in <a href="kavval://level1AdminAreas/587d2c22-dc98-429e-bba1-cb74f7ed28a7" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Catalonia</a>, the small coastal town of Figueras was the stronghold of the eccentric <a href="https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salvador_Dal%C3%AD" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Salvador Dalí</a>, and today is home to his museum. Alongside <a href="https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antoni_Gaud%C3%AD" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Antoni Gaudí</a>, who left his mark on Barcelona, the Spanish painter is one of the country’s best-known artistic symbols 🎨. Provincial cultures are very strong in Spain, as the country is organized into 17 autonomous communities. So <a href="kavval://cities/d90e251d-3bcc-4b89-bc77-53db47ee792a" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Seville</a>, <a href="kavval://cities/aaaa1076-a5cf-41c2-ba2f-60eb53f29ad0" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Granada</a>, <a href="kavval://cities/090d36a2-5d57-4e4f-ab8f-e1df9ca5dab3" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Madrid</a>, or Bilbao are all major cultural hubs, with magnificent historical heritage. In <a href="kavval://cities/d90e251d-3bcc-4b89-bc77-53db47ee792a" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Seville</a>, in Andalusia, Catholics and Muslims shaped the city and its architecture. So visiting the Giralda, a former minaret that became part of the cathedral, is symbolically powerful. In southern Spain, on the banks of the famous Guadalquivir, you can discover the charm of Flamenco, a living art to which Andalusians remain deeply attached. Emotions guaranteed. Be careful: it’s very, very, very hot in summer 🥵... Fortunately, the streets of Seville, one of Europe’s most visited cities, offer shade. Since Spain is a very dry country, if you want more coolness and humidity, you can head north and discover Galicia, the Spanish <a href="kavval://level1AdminAreas/63f447f4-fea3-45c4-ab98-b6235c0b8d1a" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Brittany</a>... On your way back toward France, along the Camino de Santiago, the Spanish Basque Country is also a great destination... And what about the mountain ranges ⛰... Spain isn’t the birthplace of <a href="https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%ADlian_Jornet" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Kilian Jornet</a> for nothing! The territory sits at an average altitude of 600 meters, making it one of Europe’s most mountainous countries, along with <a href="kavval://countries/0d0fc1fd-d482-4e2e-bb65-33ff7952e880" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Switzerland</a>🇨🇭 and <a href="kavval://countries/2c726160-e4f6-45a7-9a0e-8623d5873747" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Austria</a> 🇦🇹. The Sierra Nevada (Andalusia) is Spain’s best-known mountain range. Its highest peak, Mulhacén, rises to 3,482 meters. The highest summit in the <a href="kavval://places/f2dd02c0-115d-4022-aebe-2c5edf279465" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Pyrenees</a> is on the Spanish side: Aneto (3,404 meters). And to think that with all that, we haven’t even talked about gastronomy...So, shall we take a closer look at the race calendar in Spain? Whether you’re a <a href="kavval://pages/30300aa8-919d-44ac-8ca6-015258ce663e" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">road runner</a>, a <a href="kavval://pages/19c6236d-b5b7-431a-87ba-e50b74dcd383" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">trail</a> fan, or a <a href="kavval://pages/5b49242e-6288-4e30-8649-74eb1ab8563f" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">walker</a>, you’re going to find what you’re looking for 😍—and how—in Spain! Barcelona’s grand avenues are just waiting for your strides at the <a href="kavval://events/6f19c2a5-b285-4aac-bd23-f1b9df3d9a37" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Zurich Marathon Barcelona</a>, unless you opt for the <a href="kavval://events/aa854d82-3156-4243-9f95-9b293c09bce4" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Valencia Marathon</a> or the <a href="kavval://events/84e2a887-3b86-4c1b-b075-3e2ebe292cdd" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Madrid Marathon (Rock 'n' Roll Running Series)</a>. A great choice either way 👍🏼! We talked a lot about Andalusia above, so we have to mention the <a href="kavval://events/11b56048-47af-4f1a-8190-8c529eef43bf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Zurich Marathon Seville</a> and the <a href="kavval://pages/fe61e247-8c8f-4a66-b688-98099f2e8d75" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ultra Trail</a> <a href="kavval://events/73a6cb38-62e9-4a81-b1e6-08a10030bece" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Al Andalus Ultimate Trail</a>... You won’t regret the trip! In Catalonia, near Lleida in the Pyrenees, the organizers of the <a href="kavval://events/a76920be-c2ff-4b6b-acd5-4e2a2f103d9e" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Rialp Matxicots</a> have thought of <a href="kavval://pages/5b49242e-6288-4e30-8649-74eb1ab8563f" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">hiking</a> fans as much as <a href="kavval://pages/19c6236d-b5b7-431a-87ba-e50b74dcd383" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">trail</a> runners, who can try to pick up <a href="kavval://events/6bf47aa3-2939-4186-89bf-1ade262fe679" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">UTMB</a> points there... We also really want to mention the <a href="kavval://events/ad419ddc-0e83-4814-8563-4cf403f17f30" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">15 km Donostia - San Sebastián</a>, a race held in San Sebastian in the Basque Country that caters to as many people as possible: no fewer than 3 <a href="kavval://tags/parasports" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">para-sport</a> events are planned. Hats off to them. In any case, the list below should delight you...Do it the Kilian way.

Spain 🇪🇸 holds a special value for the majority of French people. A country synonymous with fiesta, sunshine, and summer holidays. Beyond that first encounter, the land of <a href="https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Quichotte" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Don Quixote</a> also offers its travelers a multitude of landscapes and cultures...
