National Geographic Traveller (UK) Magazine

1 May 2025

This month’s cover story turns the spotlight on Spain and its most intriguing towns and cities. While the islands remain perennial favourites, it’s the mainland’s urban centres that arguably provide the most memorable experiences — from a sherry tour of Jerez and the best pintxos in Vitoria-Gasteiz to a pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. Elsewhere, we explore the southern safari regions of Kenya, where humans and wildlife have a fragile coexistence; head to the Faroe Islands in search of shapeshifters and sea trolls in this elemental archipelago in the Atlantic; discover the local designers and bartenders giving Colombia's Cartagena a shake up; and hop from beach clubs to medieval monasteries with Croatian island itineraries.
