Top 5 Things To Do In Spain

There are many things that put Spain firmly on the map. World-class football teams, stunning architecture, siestas, fiestas, food and more. The next time you’re in the fabulously sunny country, don’t leave before completing our list of the top five things to do in Spain.

Discover Barcelona, The Gaudi Way

While you can see examples of Antoni Gaudi’s work throughout the city of Barcelona, the most fulfilling experience is within Park Guell. With weird and wonderful designs, his work definitely stands out from the rest of Barcelona, and creates a colourful world unlike any other European city. So special, it’s been classed as a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Walk With Your Heroes On A Stadium Tour

You probably won’t bump into Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo, but you can stand on the same pitch, walk into the same changing room and stroll down the same tunnel as them during a stadium tour. Whether you’re a Barcelona FC fan, supporter of Real Madrid, or chant for Valencia to win, this is a delight for any football enthusiast that wants to gain an insider’s experience.

Swap The Coast For The Pyrenees Mountains

Bordering Spain with France, the Pyrenees Mountains is a spectacular range with snow-capped peaks, crystal lakes and rural villages. You can discover them by hiking, cycling or driving, but however you travel, your best choice would be on a group tour with a guide, so you can really get to know this dramatic landscape.

Spain Sailing

Get off the land and on a boat to sail around the stunning 8,000km Spanish coastline. With long summers from March – October, you can relax on board a catamaran, enjoy the spectacular scenery or go diving in the waters below. With the Balearic and Canary Islands nearby, the discoveries are endless and you can do it all at a pleasant pace.

Seafood And Sangria

From tapas to wine to olive oil, the Spanish people know their food and drink, and whatever foodie experience you’re after, they’ve got it. Stroll around the markets for fresh produce, take a wine tour to sample the country’s famous Rioja, indulge on seafood in harbour-side restaurants, or take a master class in paella. Whatever you do, try new, exciting and quality food and drink made by those in the know.
