Spain Travel Information – A Few Ideas On What To Expect And What To See And Do
Calling all culture lovers! If you’re after a fantastic cultural vacation you’ll never forget, then Spain is a simply brilliant location. Steeped in history and interest, it really is a fantastic country. Check out Barcelona for a city overflowing with culture. A key highlight is the great range of Gaudi architecture, which is well worth a tour. If museums are your thing, check out the arty Picasso museum or the FC Barcelona museum. Take a tour of the lovely Ramblas and eat paella at a restaurant at La Barceloneta.
No vacation to Spain can be complete without a trip to the capital city, Madrid, which is home to some really brilliant cultural treasures, making it a must see. Visit the Prado Museum or the Reina Sofia Museum to see Picasso’s Guernica. The Royal Palace is also gorgeous and well worth a visit. You can also go on a day trip to nearby Toledo, where you can see a cathedral that took 250 years to build as well as the imposing fortress, the Alcazar.
Think of Seville and you probably think of sunshine and oranges. Well, it’s also a fantastic location to go and take in some culture. For example, check out the really interesting Roman ruins of Italica at Santiponce or, for a quirky day out, see the dancing horses at the School of Equestrian Art. If you like a drink, then you should visit the sherry bodegas at Jerez. For everyone who likes a good dance, then visit one of the brilliant tablaos to take in some flamenco dancing.
For some simply sensational Moorish architecture and history, you really should visit Granada. It’s home to the Alhambra Palace, whose grounds take up large swathes of the city. It’s a Moorish fortified palace and is considered to be one of the top representations of Islamic architecture and art. For a more homely experience, visit the streets of the Moorish Albaicin. You can also visit the wonderful International Festival of Music and Dance and check out the winter skiing in the Sierra Nevada.
Finally, Northern Spain, which once again offers a veritable feast of cultural highlights. You could head into the Pyrenees for some great walking tours, or perhaps drive along the gorgeous Basque coast west of San Sebastian. You can also run the bulls at Pamplona in July. The Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao is another highlight, or if you’re after a bit of education, visit Guernica, the site of some horrendous Nazi bombing in the Second World War. No matter which part you visit, you’re bound to find cultural delights in Spain.
