Like all countries around the globe, Spain reveals itself gradually, visit after visit. It's one of the top tourist destinations in the world 🌍! <a href="kavval://cities/85f33e2d-9c77-4334-8f26-7147e4a1a60d" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Barcelona</a> continues to hold a special place in the hearts of young travelers looking for their first holiday destination. The Catalan city boasts several advantages: it’s festive, located by the sea, has a fantastic climate ☀️ The mountainous areas surrounding <a href="kavval://cities/85f33e2d-9c77-4334-8f26-7147e4a1a60d" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Barcelona</a> are breathtaking, starting with Montserrat and its namesake <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbey_of_Montserrat" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">abbey</a>... A must-see view and location! Still in <a href="kavval://level1AdminAreas/587d2c22-dc98-429e-bba1-cb74f7ed28a7" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Catalonia</a>, the quaint town of Figueras on the coast was the stronghold of the eccentric <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salvador_Dal%C3%AD" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Salvador Dalí</a>, and is home to his museum today. Alongside <a href="https://en.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 most well-known artistic symbols 🎨. The provincial cultures are very strong in Spain, a country organized into 17 autonomous communities. Thus, <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>, and Bilbao are cultural powerhouses with magnificent historical heritage. In <a href="kavval://cities/d90e251d-3bcc-4b89-bc77-53db47ee792a" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Seville</a>, Andalusia, both Catholics and Muslims have shaped the city and its architecture. Thus, visiting the Giralda, a former minaret turned part of a cathedral, symbolizes this rich history. In the south of Spain, along the famous Guadalquivir River, you can experience the charm of Flamenco, a living art form deeply cherished by the Andalusians. Guaranteed to stir emotions. Beware, it gets extremely hot in the summer 🥵... Fortunately, the streets of Seville, one of Europe's most visited cities, offer plenty of shade. As Spain is a very dry country, if you're looking for cooler and more humid conditions, you can head to the North and discover Galicia, Spain's Brittany... Heading back towards France, along the Camino de Santiago, the Spanish Basque Country is also a fantastic destination... Not to mention the mountain ranges ⛰... Spain is the birthplace of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%ADlian_Jornet_Burgada" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Kilian Jornet</a> for a reason! The country's average elevation is 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 in Andalusia is Spain's most famous mountain range. Its highest peak, Mulhacén, reaches 3482 meters. The highest peak of the <a href="kavval://places/f2dd02c0-115d-4022-aebe-2c5edf279465" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Pyrenees</a> is on the Spanish side: Aneto, at 3404 meters. And we haven’t even started on the cuisine...So, shall we take a closer look at the running 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> enthusiast, or a <a href="kavval://pages/5b49242e-6288-4e30-8649-74eb1ab8563f" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">walker</a>, you're going to find your bliss 😍, in Spain! The grand avenues of Barcelona await your strides at the <a href="kavval://events/6f19c2a5-b285-4aac-bd23-f1b9df3d9a37" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Zurich Marathon of Barcelona</a>, or perhaps you'll 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 👍🏼! Having talked much about Andalusia above, we must mention the <a href="kavval://events/11b56048-47af-4f1a-8190-8c529eef43bf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Zurich Marathon of 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>... Your journey will be unforgettable! 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 catered to both walking fans and trail runners, who can also score some <a href="kavval://events/6bf47aa3-2939-4186-89bf-1ade262fe679" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">UTMB</a> points... We also want to highlight the <a href="kavval://events/ad419ddc-0e83-4814-8563-4cf403f17f30" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">15 km Donostia - San Sebastián</a>, a race in the Basque Country that accommodates a wide audience: including no fewer than 3 <a href="kavval://tags/parasports" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">parasport</a> events. Kudos to them. Either way, the list below should satisfy...Run it like Kilian.

Spain

Spain 🇪🇸 holds a special place in the hearts of many people worldwide. Synonymous with fiesta, sun, and summer holidays. Beyond the initial allure, the land of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Quixote" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Don Quixote</a> also presents a rich tapestry of landscapes and cultures to explore...
