Madhya Pradesh, often referred to as the “Heart of Incredible India,” is well-placed to attract Spanish visitors with its authentic offerings. The region is famous for its historical sites such as the Khajuraho temples and Sanchi Stupa, as well as for the natural splendor of its national parks like Bandhavgarh.
