Spanish Highlights

This is our list of favourite things to do while in Spain. Enjoy ….
 

Take part in a local village fiesta.
The local fiestas are often religious in nature, but that doesn’t mean that the locals don’t want what to have a heap of fun! The colourful processions are worth it in themselves, & the parties usually go on throughout the night.

Taste the Basque food in San Sebastian

San Sebastian’s food fare is in a league of its own. With more of Michelin Stars than you can shake a stick at (highest number per square meter of the planet) you are surrounded by amazing food. Try tapas at the Alona Berri bar
Experience Gaudi's Barcelona.
Of all the buildings in Barcelona that Antoni Gaudi designed, no visit is more spectacular than Parc Guell. The large park has numerous buildings and sculptures featuring Gaudi's well known broken tile style, and elegant organic curves. A great day out for all ages.

La Tomotina Battle!

This literally reddens the town of Bunol, near Valencia, on the last Wednesday of July as thousands gather to do battle throwing tomatoes!

Do tapas!
It is one of the Best and most uniquely Spanish things to sit in a bar in the evening and eat tapas while you have a drink. Tapas is a generic term for small scale (and BIG taste) nibblings

Sit outside in a cafe and watch the world go by!
Spain's villages, towns and cities all have numerous cafe's when you can sit outside, enjoy a coffee and simply watch the world passing by. It is made all the better by the weather which is usually fine.
La Rioja !

At the wine war in Haro (June 29^th) revellers fill bota bags of Rioja (red wine) and hose each other down (and then drink the remainder!

Visit the Alhambra in Granada.
This Moorish fortified palace is absolutely incredible. The complex is vast, so make sure you have a whole day to explore it. If you are visiting in the summer though, you are well advised to buy tickets in advance.

Skiing in the Sierra Nevada Mountains.
Andalucia is blessed to have these mountains so close to legendary Spanish coast and locations such as Malaga and the Costa de Sol. During late spring you can go skiing in the morning and do a spot of sunbathing on the beach in the afternoon. Marvellously bizarre!

Stamp you heals to the Flamenco!
A must do for Andalucia and the South of Spain is to catch some of the heel tapping music known as Flamenco. You can go to a show, see gypsies dance in caves, or best of all – find yourself at a local party as the locals let loose!
Go Surfing

The best waves in Europe can be found at Lazaretto and San Sebastian. Take a surfing course – and feel the freedom!

Art of Arts sake in Spain.
Spain has an amazing array of artists. If you just want to see the best make sure that you visit the Miró Foundation in Barcelona, see the disturbing images of Goya in Madrid and Picasso's Guernica at the Reina Sofia, also in Madrid. Or  Picasso in Malaga at the new Picasso Musuem

The Moors in Cordoba.
Nothing can quite prepare you for the sight of the Grand Mosque of Cordoba (the Mezquita). The first part of the Mosque was built in 796 AD and is roughly a fifth of the entire complex, and the last parts were added to the Mosque by about 1000 AD.

Bull fight
Whether you agree with it or not  - it is is an integral part of Spanish Culture and in Seville its at its best (and worst).

Do the white village trail.
Andalucia's villages are what most people imagine when they are asked think of a Spanish village. Whitewashed houses, narrow cobbled streets and lavish Churches. The pick of the villages is Mijas, with its famous donkeys and mountainside location.

See the spectacular views at Ronda.
After driving through the Andalucian mountains, you eventually come to Ronda, perched at the top of a huge cliff, with a magnificent bridge spanning the gorge between the old and new towns.
Ronda also has the oldest Bull ring in Spain, and roman baths.

Experience a  football game.
Real Madrid has the? Best football team in Europe, and possibly the world. With the likes  of Raul, Zidane Figo, Ronaldo, Roberto Carlos, and now David Beckham in the ranks, has Madrid got an unstoppable force? Barcelona, Deportivo and Valencia are amongst the teams to try and stop them running away with next years trophies.

Running with the Bulls.
Join in with the celebrations in Pamplona, but it is Best to let others run with the bulls at the most famous festival in Spain. Many are known to get injured in this dangerous but thrilling spectacle.
Take a stroll along Las Ramblas.
This busy street in Barcelona is lined with outdoor markets, shops, restaurants and cafes. Las Ramblas ends with the Pier and it's excellent indoor shopping centre, Sea Life centre and more great restaurants.

The Costa De Golf.
They don’t call it this for nothing! Southern Spain has both the courses and the weather to make any golfer happy. There are many great golf courses, with Valderrama standing hand and shoulders above them all.
