What's New

Jewish Andalucía

Andalucía's Jewish history finally emerges from the shadows at Seville's new Centro de Interpretación Juderia de Sevilla, and Granada’s Palacio de los Olvidados and Museo Sefardi.

Dalí in Mallorca

The Museo Can Morey de Santmartí in Palma de Mallorca is an astonishing collection of over 220 original works by Salvador Dalí. A stunning Mallorca mansion arrayed around an interior patio is the perfect backdrop.

Rise & Rise of Flamenco

New highlights of Andalucía's flamenco boom include Seville's relocated Casa de la Memoria and Casa de la Guitarra, Córdoba's Centro Flamenco Fosforito and Granada's Casa del Arte Flamenco.

Jamón's New Home

Finally a museum, the Museo del Jamón, worthy of Spain's stunning culinary success story. You'll find it in Extremadura's far south, in the heart of jamón country.

Archaeology's Return

Santander’s Museo de Prehistoria y Arqueología de Cantabria, Madrid's Museo Arqueológico Nacional and Logroño's Museo de la Rioja have all finally reopened. And the results, from prehistoric cave art to Spain's Roman history, are spectacular.

Rooftop Tours

The cathedrals in Lugo and Tui in Galicia now offer rooftop tours, giving fascinating perspectives on the buildings' interiors and panoramic vistas out over the rooftops.

Barcelona's magnificent Modernista heritage just got better with the reopening of Bellesguard ( GOOGLE MAP ; %93 250 40 93; www.bellesguardgaudi.com; Carrer de Bellesguard 16; admission €7; h10am-7pm Mon-Sat Apr-Oct, 10am-3pm Mon-Sat Nov-Mar; dFGC Avinguda Tibidabo) (by Gaudí), Casa Amatller (by Puig i Cadafalch) and Casa Lleó Morera (by Domènech i Montaner).

Street-Art Hotel

With its reputation for clubbing ecstasy, Ibiza has added more street cred to its portfolio with Urban Spaces, an alternative bolthole where the suites are decorated by world-famous street artists.

Artisan Beers

Spain's love affair with beers has finally translated into a small but growing industry of microbrewers. Our pick of the newbies is Córdoba's Cervezas Califa.

Barcelona's Design Hub

The new, ultra-modernist Disseny Hub (Design Hub; www.dhub-bcn.cat) in Plaça de les Glòries is the vanguard of an entire neighbourhood's renewal, with a decorative arts and textiles museum among the attractions planned.
