Description

Spain has tourist attractions of all kinds and for all tastes: cities, monuments, towns, natural spaces, islands, museums... And in addition to a lot of variety, a lot of quantity. The places worth visiting in Spain are countless. It has it all: unparalleled gastronomy, an amazing contrast of landscapes, an enormous historical legacy...

The wealth of Spain is indisputable. Between a coastline of more than 8,000 kilometers that boasts some of the most beautiful beaches in the world and the spectacular and diverse inland landscapes, Spain has no shortage of natural options to escape to this summer. To this sample we must add the creativity of the civilizations that have passed through here and the legacy of current culture, a heritage that permeates the most beautiful towns in Spain and that has made this country one of the countries with the most Heritage Humanity treasures.

 

Barcelona is one of the most visited cities in Spain. Has it all! culture, viewpoints, sea, good weather, good gastronomy, that is why it is another of the cities that disputes the title of the most beautiful city in Spain. Gaudí's wonderful works, such as the Sagrada Familia, Park Guell, La Pedrera or Casa Batlló, are some of the main monuments to see in Barcelona that turn it into an open-air museum. You can enjoy a beautiful panoramic view of the city from Montjuic or from Tibidabo, the oldest amusement park in Spain, stroll along its lively ramblas, eat at the Boquería Market, tour the Gothic Quarter to visit the Cathedral of Santa Cruz and Santa Eulalia and some squares full of charm, sunbathe on Barceloneta beach, watch a sunset from the bunkers of El Carmel, take a tour of the most touristy neighborhoods of Barcelona or enjoy its lively nightlife and its restaurants in Born.

 

The running of the bulls is the main attraction in this famous celebration that transforms Pamplona into an endless party. The city of Pamplona is world-famous for its fiestas of San Fermín Festival. Thousands of people go there every year to experience the risk and the thrill of the running of the bulls, a tradition immortalised by Ernest Hemingway in his novel Fiesta. Over nine days, dressed in traditional red and white costumes, locals and visitors give themselves over to the festive spirit. San Fermín starts at 6 am on 6 July. This is when the inaugural rocket is launched from the balcony of the Town Hall, marking the official start of the fiesta, and the crowd gathered in the square goes wild. The first running of the bulls takes place the next day: at 8 am the doors to the Santo Domingo corral are opened and hundreds of people run ahead of the bulls on a route around the old town to the bullring. Every day from 7 to 14 July, this brief, intense race is repeated, taking just three minutes to run the 825-metre route. Rockets are launched to notify runners of the stages of the running: the first rocket when the corral gates are opened, the second when all the bulls have left, the third, in the arena, when the bulls enter the bullring, and the fourth when they are in the bullpens and the running of the bulls is finished. One of the most emotive moments occurs a few minutes before the running of the bulls starts, when the runners ask San Fermín to protect them, singing three times to of a small image located on Cuesta de Santo Domingo. To amuse the children, every morning of the fiestas there is a parade of gigantes y cabezudos (carnival figures) around the city centre. Other events include outdoor dances, concerts, dance performances and, of course, bullfights, which are very lively thanks to the peñas or clubs cheering them on. San Fermín ends on 14 July at midnight, when the people gather in the Plaza del Ayuntamiento with lit candles, singing “Pobre de mí” (poor me), saying goodbye to their fiesta until the following year.

 

Madrid, cheerful and vibrant at all hours, is famous for being an open city with all kinds of people from anywhere in the world. In addition to its famous museums, busy streets dotted with all kinds of shops, restaurants with world cuisine and unbeatable nightlife, Madrid will surprise you with its tranquil historic spots that charm everyone walking by. Here you'll find traditional family-run, century-old bars where friends meet up for a drink, every style of neighbourhood and cultural centres that offer up an alternative type of tourism. Madrid's authenticity is hard to beat. It is welcoming and diverse. Madrid is, without a doubt, one of Europe’s most interesting cities. Anyone in search of culture will find some of the most important museums in the world, such as the Prado, Reina Sofía or Thyssen. But we must not forget smaller options, full of charm, such as the Sorolla Museum or cultural centres like the Matadero or Conde Duque, which are continuously offering innovative exhibitions, concerts, guided tours, etc.

Walking around Madrid means coming across iconic spots such as the stunning Royal Palace, the Plaza Mayor with 400 years of history, the buzzing Puerta del Sol, the famous Gran Vía full of shops, or the four tallest towers in Spain. Each neighbourhood offers a different experience: La Latina is ideal for tapas, Las Letras has the perfect combination of literature and fine dining… But Madrid also means relaxing in enormous green spaces such as the Retiro Park (which together with the Paseo del Prado boulevard have been added to UNESCO's World Heritage List), and other lesser-known but equally charming parks like El Capricho. When it's time to eat, Madrid has many different options, each more appealing than the last. On the one hand, traditional bars where you can discover exactly what castizo means and why tapas are so much fun. On the other hand, there are its cutting-edge restaurants like DiverXO and traditional markets that have been turned into new gourmet spaces, such as San Miguel, which has become a true gastronomic shrine. In Madrid, the time is always ripe to enjoy an animated, urban atmosphere. For example, the increasingly famous weekend brunches in enclosed glass terraces, courtyards, rooftops, etc. Fashionistas will find all options: luxury shops on the Golden Mile, vintage establishments in areas such as Fuencarral, new designer markets like the Mercado de Motores, and craft workshops and bookshops over 100 years old. At dusk, some of the city’s viewpoints will surprise you with unique sunsets, at the Temple of Debod or the rooftop bar of the Círculo de Bellas Artes, for example. And at the end of the day... nightlife in Madrid is legendary with live music, all kinds of ambiences, music until the sun comes up...

Madrid has its own beauty. Madrid stimulates and inspires. Madrid. You have to experience it.
