What are the favourite Spanish destinations for senior tourists?

According to the airline, senior travellers prioritise destinations that are accessible, quiet and have a local identity. Menorca tops the list for its natural surroundings, its coves and its local cuisine, with dishes such as lobster stew and routes such as the Camí de Cavalls. It is followed by Lanzarote, which combines a mild climate all year round with unique volcanic landscapes such as those of the Timanfaya National Park.

In the north, Santiago de Compostela is the third most popular choice, valued for its cathedral, historic centre and traditional gastronomy. Oviedo is in fourth place, with a cultural and gastronomic offer marked by fabada, cider and the green Asturian environment. Granada ends the list where the Alhambra, the Albaicín and its tapas turn every walk into a sensory experience.

These five cities sum up the keys to senior tourism in Spain: destinations with history, authenticity and quality of life.
