What comes to your mind when you think about Spain!?
Perhaps you think of Flamenco, tapas, Barcelona's soccer players, Madrid, Spanish, bulls or Sangria... Well let me tell you that Spain has way more things to offer, I was very curious and excited to finally explore Spain!!
10 days in Spain went by fast!! I was with friends that showed me the inside of the Spanish life and culture. I was aware that Spanish people like to party more than other cultures but, I underestimated this aspect of their fun, exciting, way of life.
Spain has festivals and parties all year round, in every city you could think off. I experienced Las Hogueras de San Juan in Alicante and it was incredible! Wood and paper maché structures known as hogueras are burned around the city. The whole city is engaged in festivities with lots of Mobil stages called barracas and live performances everywhere you go. I loved it! Lol I would have to describe Spain as FUN…
If you are planning on going to Spain, I encourage you to experience a festival
Here is a great website that offers festivals every month!http://www.travelinginspain.com/culture_spain_festivals.html
BARCELONA!
One of my favorite places in Barcelona- Montjuic! near Plaza España
Barcelona has become one of my favorite cities! I want to go back now! It has everything I love, It is a metropolitan city, with mountains, the beach is right there, it has culture, it is very international and there is always something exciting happening! I would move there in a heartbeat lol
