Spain boat charters
Spain is a popular destination for boat charters in the Mediterranean. Spain shares the Iberian Peninsula with Portugal allowing for a wonderful coastline. It is home to many UNESCO World Heritage sites – fewer only than those of Italy – as well as the largest number of World Heritage Cities. The beaches of the Canary Islands and those along the Mediterranean coasts are the best and hiking in the Sierra Nevada mountains in the south is quite popular. 
History abounds in Spain, and here are some of the ancient cities and their attractions worth visitiong while on a boat charter in Spain:
