Welcoming a record 83.5 million visitors in 2019, Spain retained its place as the second-most-popular destination in the world before the Covid-19 pandemic - beaten by France (90 million) but well ahead of the US (79.3 million).
Beachside Barcelona long reigned as the top choice for a city break in the country, with a selection of hotels, and pipeline of new properties, to match. But the last few years has seen a shift in focus to Madrid, with the Spanish capital experiencing a flood of development that has transformed what is on offer in the city.

Hotel Indigo Madrid Princesa
Just before lockdowns brought most travel to a halt in March 2020, IHG Hotels and Resorts opened its second Hotel Indigo in Madrid. Joining its sibling on Gran Via, Hotel Indigo Madrid Princesa has 101 rooms, which take inspiration from the nearby Parque del Oeste for their design, with gold and red hues for autumn, while green and blue signal spring. The open-plan lobby includes farm-to-table restaurant Best Kitchen and Bar, serving 'Spanish cuisine with a modern twist' throughout the day.
Nearly two decades after the first Hotel Indigo opened in Atlanta, the brand now has more than 100 hotels worldwide, with another 100 in the pipeline - recent openings range from Milan and New York to Stratford-upon-Avon and Chester in England.

The rail thing - Why airlines and train companies are partnering to increase options for travellers on short journeys

European nations have been among the world's leaders in adopting high-speed rail for short-distance trips, along with Asian countries such as Japan and China.

Over the past few years, tourism has shot up stratospherically; recent figures from the European Travel Commission show it's grown 86 per cent since 2019. Its GDP per capita has also been increasing, and last year stood at US$8,800, while the average monthly salary is now around 84,000 lek (£704). Foreign direct investment is also on the rise, with countries including Switzerland, Italy, and the Netherlands targeting sectors such as energy, mining, information and real estate to a value of around US$1.5 billion in 2022, according to UNCTAD's World Investment Report. Not bad for a country which used to depend on foreign food aid.
