Touring Spain, what you might expect
Spain, as a country, has been around for centuries, a great exploring nation that has incorporated much of the culture that was imported to the country from nations it has visited to provide a rich tapestry that needs to be experienced to be believed.
- One of the biggest attractions in Spain is the Flamenco while many know it as a dance it is so much more. It is the ultimate expression of passion, when you witness the dance it is a performance that has singing, up-tempo guitar playing, full of romance and brilliantly colored costumes. Spaniards describe Flamenco as a state of mind that is a deep emotional expression from the performers' hearts who will entertain the traveler with the dance. When you see the show, the connection you will feel with the performers is unlike anything you have ever experienced and it will leave a lifelong impression upon you.
- Bullfighting to a Spaniard is the same a hockey to a Canadian – apart from soccer – it is their national sport that attracts many locals and visitors to the stadiums where the events are staged. The bullfighting season runs from April through September and many towns have bullfighting festivals that run for a week or two. If are visiting the country, chances are you can see a bullfight any day of the week. When you visit Spain, you must go to Pamplona in July for the Pamplona Running of the Bulls that is part of the San Fermin Festival.
- Another sports passion that the Spanish hold near and dear to their hearts is football – also known as soccer. Many visitors will want to take in a game in Madrid to see Real Madrid – one of the world’s most successful soccer clubs in action. The stadium is always packed with supporters who live and die on every play and the Spanish take their soccer as seriously as a Canadian takes his hockey interest.
- If you need a down day from all the adrenalin-related activities, Spain has many UNESCO sites to visit that hold many secrets that can be unlocked with a visit to one of the many sites like the cities of Cordoba, Granada or Toledo. Santiago de Compostela is a shrine to St. James that is a must see as is the town of Avila that is a fortified city that dates back centuries.
- History is on display when you visit the caves of Altamira in Northern Spain. The 17 caves have ancient artwork on the walls of the caves that dates back more than 35,000 years BC. If archaeology isn’t for you but you might want to see some of the art that Spain is famous for – the works of Dali and Picasso hang in Reine Sofia National Art Museum, the Prado Museum and the Museo Guggenheim.
One thing to remember when touring Spain, temperatures is decidedly summery – the temperature fluctuates between 64F-85F, so pack accordingly for your visit.
