Snow-capped mountains, Atlantic dune beaches, medieval hill towns and celebrated cities all sit inside one country.
The Canary Islands record more than 300 days of sunshine a year, and the Costa del Sol is the sunniest coastline on mainland Europe.
Direct flights from Irish airports reach the mainland coasts, the Balearics and the Canaries, so the journey stays short and simple.
Tapas in Seville, paella in Valencia and pintxos in the Basque Country show how much the food changes from region to region.
The Balearics suit beach and nightlife weeks while the Canaries offer volcanic scenery and mild weather through the winter.
Hotels, apartments and all-inclusive resorts along every coast keep a week in Spain affordable at any budget.
The best-value couples resorts are the ones where a quiet old town sits a short drive from the big-resort flights.
Altea: Whitewashed lanes climb to the blue-domed church of Nuestra Senora del Consuelo, with restaurants on the steps below and a pebble beach at the foot of the hill, around 10 km from the largest resort on the coast. Our Cheap Spain Holidays deals for couples start here because apartment rates stay low even in June.
Marbella: The old town and the Puerto Banus marina, opened in 1970 and around 6 km to the west, are the upmarket end of the southern coast, yet older three-star hotels behind the beach price keenly outside July and August. Our Spain Adults Only Holidays deals cluster here for couples who want the marina evenings without the five-star bill.
Nerja: The Balcon de Europa clifftop promenade, cove beaches and the caves east of the town give couples a slower week than the western strip, with hotel prices well below the marina resorts. It is the base our Spain Beach Holidays customers ask for most when they want a beach and a walkable town in one.
Puerto de Mogan: A low-rise harbour resort in the south-west of its island, with canals, a small beach and fish restaurants on the quay, a bus ride from the large southern resorts. Winter rates here sit below the busier strips, and the harbour evenings suit couples far better than the big hotel blocks.
Calpe: The Penon de Ifach rock, a natural park, rises above long sandy beaches and a lower-rise hotel stock than its famous neighbour to the south. Couples get a proper beach town with a calm evening scene, and June apartment rates here are among the lowest on that coast.
Island weeks for couples are cheapest in the months either side of the school summer, when the sea is still warm and the resorts are quieter.
Lanzarote: Volcanic, uncrowded and low-rise by law, with Timanfaya National Park covering around 51 sq km of lava fields and the artist Cesar Manrique's landmarks across the island. Lanzarote holidays suit couples who want quiet beaches and scenery over nightlife, and winter rates from October to April are the value window.
Tenerife: Mount Teide, Spain's highest peak at 3,715 m, sits inside a national park above resorts that stay warm all year. Tenerife holidays cost more than the mainland in summer, but from November to March a couple gets guaranteed warmth for a price no mainland resort can match on a flight of around four hours.
Majorca: The largest Balearic island pairs a cultured capital with a UNESCO-listed mountain range along the north-west coast, listed in 2011, and stone villages an hour from the beach. Majorca holidays for couples price best in early June and late September, when the hotels drop their peak rates and the sea is warm.
Gran Canaria: The protected Maspalomas dunes, a 3 km urban beach at Las Canteras and villages such as Tejeda in the volcanic interior give couples a varied week on one island. Gran Canaria holidays price keenly in winter, when the dunes and the capital's cafe scene beat a cold week at home for the same money.
Fuerteventura: Steady summer trade winds on Sotavento beach make it a leading European windsurfing and kitesurfing location, and the island is around 30 minutes by ferry from its volcanic neighbour. For active couples it is often the best-priced Canary week in spring and autumn, with long empty beaches as the bonus.
May, June, late September and October are the best-value months on the mainland and the Balearics, with warm weather and hotel rates below the summer peak. January to March is the cheapest window for the Canary Islands, when the mainland is cool. Couples without school dates should avoid July and August entirely.
