"Para" or "A"

When I was looking at the uses of "para", it said that "para" is used for destinations. (e.g., voy para Europa). What's the difference between "voy para Europa" and "voy a Europa"?

I don't think you would say "Voy a Europa" rather you would say "Voy a ir a Europa" I am going to go to Europe. Ir + a + infinative of the action verb, you can say "Estoy para Europa" to mean that you are bound for Europe or "Este tren es para Madrid" This train is bound for Madrid.

I don't think you would say "Voy a Europa" rather you would say...
¿Dónde vas? Where are you going?
Voy a Europa. I am going to Europe.
To me this is perfectly fine.

I agree. I say it like this all the time. Nobody has ever corrected me. - Beatrice-Codder, Sep 5, 2012
