Spain, a country rich in history and culture, is renowned for its passion and beauty, vibrant art and classical architecture. Today, Roman relics, Moorish architecture, Islamic palaces and baroque cathedrals stand beside contemporary steel and glass skyscrapers, modern museums and world famous art galleries. Spain’s cities, medieval towns and glittering white villages will all leave a lasting impression. Dining and fine wine are central to life in the country and one of the most familiar sights is families enjoying tapas and wine at lunch or dinner, or gathered around pans of steaming paella. Quintessentially Spanish activities like the famous annual ‘Running of the Bulls’ in Pamplona and the Valencia tomato festival are all part of the vibrant culture. However, nothing captures the essence of Spain like its music and dancing and the sound of Spanish guitars and flamenco dancing can be heard inside bars and clubs across the country. It is like a cry to locals and visitors to experience the passion of a beautiful and vibrant country of sun drenched beaches, stunning mountains and breathtaking green landscapes.
