Keep a little mystery in your trip planning: Explorer Picture Mode shows a stylized version of every place instead of the real photo, so you can go by the description and reviews first and picture it your own way -- reveal the real photo any time by flipping the switch off, or just for one place at a time from its own page.

Spain
Spain occupies most of the Iberian Peninsula and is framed by mountains on nearly every side -- the Pyrenees along the French border, and the Sierra Nevada and other ranges crossing the interior and south.
The interior is dominated by the Meseta Central, a vast high plateau giving Madrid a notably different, more continental climate than the coasts.
Spain's coastline varies dramatically -- the green, Atlantic-facing north is lush and rainy, the Mediterranean south is dry and sunny, and the Balearic and volcanic Canary Islands add distinct landscapes of their own.
