Save/Share978,567 Americans visited Spain between January and October. That is a remarkable 22 percent increase over the same period last year, given that the dollar doesn't go very far there right now.
If the trend continues through the end of the year, American traffic to Spain could hit a record. The last record was set in 2000.
And among all of the major destination for American tourists, Spain seems to have enjoyed the biggest jump in American visitors. The Spanish government credits its recent marketing campaign.
Budget Travel's November issue includes a fun story on Chueca, which was one of the Madrid's most run-down neighborhoods, but is now one of its most fashionable.
THE BEST PLACES YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF: La Cerdanya.
EARLIER Free bikes in Spain.

Oh but it's a long time since Chueca was run down. It's been a very hip little barrio for about ten years now!

I went to Madrid and Seville, I loved every minute of my trip and I plan on going back! Barcelona and San Sebastian are next on my list.
