Top Things To Do In Spain
Visit the Wonders of Granada
If you are interested in the heritage and history of Spain, then a visit to Granada is a must. Make sure to visit The Alhambra – it is a fortified palace, created by the Moors, and the views and architecture is an absolute delight. It is a UNESCO World Heritage listed place along with the city of Toledo, which is to the south of the Spanish capital, Madrid. Overlooking the River Tagus, the architecture is a merging of the Christian, Jewish and Moorish cultures and is a must visit.
Enjoy the festivities of a Fiesta
In Spain, the fiestas are mostly religious in origin, but that does not mean that they will be without fun. The striking processions are well worth seeing and the partying goes on until dawn! Cities such as Alicante and Malaga are home to some of the top festivals in Spain throughout the summer, such as the St Johns Bonfires Festival, and the La Féria de Malaga (Malaga’s Annual Fair). For culture and fun, check out one of these festivals!
Experience Spanish Architecture
Spain and its islands are home to some of the most astounding architecture – you could spend some time enjoying the architecture of Antoni Gaudi in Barcelona, in particular the Parc Guell, which has many buildings and wonderful sculpture designs. Well worth visiting is the architecture of Frank Gehry, which can be viewed all over Spain, from the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao to the Malaga Conference and Convention Centre. Elsewhere, check out the designs of César Manrique on Lanzarote. The surrealistic work of Salvador Dali is magnificent and you can also see this in the town of Figueres.
Sun and Beaches
Obviously, some of the main reasons people go to Spain are for sun and sand. With so many beaches to choose from, any region along the coast that you visit will be blessed with the most impressive beaches. Everyone knows the most popular areas, from Malaga and Alicante, to the Canaries, Ibiza, Lanzarote and Tenerife. Beaches are plentiful and there is enough for everyone!
Skiing in Spain
You might not be aware that you can ski in Spain, well you can! For example, a holiday in Andalucia will enable you to indulge in some skiing in the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range. What makes it more amazing is that during the period of later Spring, you should be able to go skiing in the morning and then sunbathe on the beach in the afternoon – if that’s not tourism diversity – I don’t know what is!
Dine Out in Spain
Spain is home to some of the most wonderful cuisine in the world, from paella and meat dishes to tapas! One of the most “Spanish” things you can do on holiday in Spain is to visit a tapas bar where you can eat tapas while having a drink. But did you know that the origins of the bars started out in Alicante? The villages, towns and cities of Spain all have plenty of cafés where you can sit and relax outside and watch the world go by!
Discover Amazing Artwork
Spain was the birthplace of some of the most celebrated artists in the world – from Pablo Picasso at the Picasso Foundation in Malaga, the work of Goya in Madrid or the Foundation de Miró in Barcelona. A visit to the Prado Gallery in Madrid will enable you to engage in the work of Diego Valazquez, a masterful talent in the art world.
Enjoy The Flamenco
If you are in Andalucia and the south of Spain you will soon be stomping your heels to the sounds of flamenco dancing, a popular tourist attraction in the region. If you are travelling in the region of the Andalucia Mountains, ensure to visit Ronda. The town is positioned on the top of a massive cliff. There is a wonderful bridge, which crosses the gorge between the new and old towns. The oldest bullring in Spain is located there, along with Roman ruins.
See the Best Football in Europe
Not only is the National team the current European Champions, Spain is also home to the two of the most famous and decorated clubs in the football world: Real Madrid and Barcelona. The Catalan giants Barcelona are the reigning World and European Champions, and have a wonderful attacking style of play featuring giants of the game such as Messi, Iniesta, Xavi and Ibrahimovich. Real Madrid are trying to counter the dominance of “Barca” by recently enrolling world stars Christiano Ronaldo, Benzema and Kaka. If you are on holiday in these two cities, try and get to a match at the Camp Nou or Bernabéu Stadium for both the atmosphere and football!
Take A Driving Tour of Spain
One of the best ways to explore Spain is to take a driving tour of the country. On mainland Spain, some of the best driving tours are located in Andalucia, in the Catalonia region, and the Costa Del Sol to Madrid. The islands off the coast of Spain are well worth exploring by car, including Ibiza, Lanzarote and the Balearic Islands.
