Things to do in Spain

“This is a country with music in its soul, a love of fine food and wild landscapes, and a special talent for celebrating all the good things in life” writes author Anthony Ham, and nothing could be truer. The best things to do in Spain are its vibrant cities full of fast-paced life, grandiose architecture, wild, untameable landscapes alternating with softly undulating country roads surrounded by vineyards and farms, eclectic food, and an intense history which runs through the veins of the country, Spain is a country out of a fantasy tale. An ever-present tone of celebration fills the land, and fiestas are a common part of life. Joyous parties take place across the country all year, whether in the form of the Carnivals or religious celebrations. The Carnival takes place all over Spain in February but the celebrations in Tenerife and Cadiz are the best while Valencia bursts into celebration in mid-March with the Fallas. La Tomatina, the most popular tomato festival is another manifestation of the wild Spanish spirit. Other exotic celebrations are also constantly taking place in some part or the other of the country.

Parties aside, Spain is also rich in grand sites that stamp the country with a distinct personality. Alhambra- the medieval fortress, the renowned unfinished church of Sagrada Família, the colourful Park Güell, the artsy Casa Milà, and the Royal Palace of Madrid are some of the most beautiful sites in Spain. The home stadiums of their favourite football teams make important pilgrimage points for football lovers. And the glorious white beaches that dot the coastline are wonderful places to relax and sunbathe in. The Costa Blanca coastline features fantastic beaches and presents magnificent sea views while the town of Ibiza is a seaside party place like no other. Of the best things to do in Spain, you can have fun on the beaches, gaze up at the grand architecture, revel in crazy parties, indulge in delectable food and wine, and throw yourselves into adventure sports- live life with a relish.
