Spain Travel Blog 

Spain might be a Roman Catholic nation, but Spaniards also worship at the altar of football, the country’s national sport. Spain is home to two of the world’s best teams: Real Madrid and FC Barcelona , who count among their players some of the world’s most famous, including the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. Watching a football match at the Santiago Bernabéu in Madrid or in Barcelona’s Camp Nou is an unforgettable experience for any football fan.

Barcelona 

Amongst the many attractions that the city has to offer, there are the beautiful beaches. Barcelona is a great place to visit any time of year but it takes on a whole different person during the summer season, with waterfront restaurants and never ending parties. Rent a bike and cruise around the boardwalk or lounge at one of the many beach shacks along the main strip.

Madrid

GREAT SHOPPING
Madrid is very fashionable and trendy, so you will find it hard to resist going shopping as there are so many options for everyone’s taste. There are all the lovely little boutiques hidden away on the backstreets across the city and the main streets such as Goya, Velazquez, and Ortega y Gasset which are the chic streets with a mixture of high-street brands and luxury brands. If you’re looking for more original quirky boutiques then go to Fuencarral street and the district of Chueca.

Ibiza

In the summer, there are flights daily from English airports to Ibiza, which is ideal! The temperature is around 27 degrees centigrade in the summer months and the seawater reaches a temperature of around 26 degrees centigrade. No boorishly long travel times, and you can count on sunny weather in the summer! Ibiza-town, the capital of Ibiza, is a bubbling town and is one of the many surprises of Ibiza. You will find many comfy restaurants, bars, and terraces, and the harbour where luxury yachts come to dock. The town has a long history and is one of the World’s most historic sites given its monuments. The district of Dalt Vila is the historic downtown area of Ibiza-town. Dalt Vila consists of narrow passageways and stairways, and fortress walls encircle it. At the highest peak of Dalt Vila, you can make you way over to a cathedral. So, Ibiza is quite a lovely, historical place.

Segovia

The area it is located in is full of places to eat or drink, while watching this impressive monument. There is a legend that says that this Aqueduct was built by the Devil. A maid, tired of having to carry water from one place to another, wished there was some way for the water to be transported alone. The Devil granted him the desire to build the Aqueduct before the first ray of sun in exchange for her soul, but the maid, frightened, prayed that he would not take her soul. So just when Devil was going to put on the last stone, a ray of sun hit his face and vanished. You can not leave Segovia without taking a picture of it.

Ronda

The city itself maintains a small-town vibe, with quiet sunset-stricken cobblestone streets and bustling mom-and-pop boutiques during the day. Great food, vibrant wines, and oh… did I mention it sits on top of a mountain? Well, sorta. Ronda, Spain lies on a precipice, what remains of an ancient limestone rock formation carved in two by the Rio Guadalevín. Overtime, this river carved out “El Tajo,” (meaning deep gash or cut), which is a canyon plummeting down more than 100 meters. Don’t be afraid to hike outside the city walls!

FOOD IN SPAIN 

The basis of the history of Spanish food of course has to do with its geographical situation. First of all, the country is located on the Iberian peninsula and is therefore almost entirely surrounded by the waters. Naturally, due to this fortunate location, seafood forms one of the pillars of Spain's gastronomy and categorizes the country as having a Mediterranean diet. The rest of Spain is a diverse terrain made up of mountain ranges, lush pastures, fertile farmgrounds, extensive coastlines and more, which together provide quite the variety of fresh products. For example, Spain's famous hams are cured high in the mountains, vineyards and olive groves sprawl across expanses of land, and fresh fruits and vegetables hail from throughout the country.
