First off, you'll need to research where and what you want to visit. Pick up a detailed map of Spain in a book store or find one on the internet. A map will help you orientate yourself with the geography and typography of the country. You will be able to determine where to go for the beach and where mountain retreats are located.

If you're traveling alone then there is plenty to keep you busy and the Spanish people are warm and inviting. If you're traveling with a family then there are things to keep everyone entertained.

Even when it's cold, the large cities will keep you busy with indoor and outdoor sights.
While the Euro is strong, Spain is reasonable compared to other Western European countries so a holiday here can be affordable. There are many good deals available especially if you're willing to travel in off peak and non-holiday times of year.
