Spanish term or phrase: la monumentalidad
Un lugar donde sus gentes rebosen de hospitalidad y simpatía. Donde la variedad de escenarios y localizaciones sea amplia y tenga para elegir. En el que, además, la gastronomía juegue un papel capital, sus enclaves específicos sean de alto nivel, un país donde también la cultura y **la monumentalidad**y, por supuesto, la climatología sean factores convincentes.

At first I could thinkg of nothing. This is the way it is translated in the Collins Unabridged Dictionary, and I believe it would fit nicely here.

Thanks Mike - this works fine in the context - I don´t think they´re referring to 'grandeur' here, as it's about what Spain has to offer as a destination.

grandeur


Explanation:
Since it's not completely clear whether the author is referring to architectural, natural, or some other sort of monumentalness, I think "grandeur" is less clunky but equally ambiguous.
