Exotic and sophisticated, Spain is the ideal holiday destination for those looking for an extraordinary experience. From exquisite cuisine to outrageous festivals to intricate dance forms, Spain has all things lovely. So if you are thinking of visiting this fabulous country, we can arrange a Spain tour package for you. Rest assured that the epicurean in you will never be disappointed.

Festivals

Every country has its own ridiculously unique way of having fun. But if you think throwing fruits at each other may not be anyone’s idea of fun, then welcome to Spain. The Spanish not only derive delirious pleasure out of throwing tomatoes at fellow Spaniards, but they have also created a festival around this rather preposterous pleasure. Knowns as La Tomatina, this is the ‘World’s Biggest Food Fight Festival’, and is held annually every August. If you want some downright crazy things, then Spain is your place. This fascinating country has some out-of-the-world festivals that can astonish you. Take for instance, ‘Running with the Bulls’, where runners throw themselves in the path of furious bulls, while the onlookers throng the side alleys and watch with excitement, coupled with horror.

Paella

This vibrant, colourful and flavoursome dish is as great on the palette as it is to your eyes. Although cooked with vegetables and meat, seafood paella is the most popular version of this dish. Pair this with a nice baguette and a salad, your taste buds will thank you.

Flamenco

Flamenco is an exotic art form from Spain. A coming together of dance, music, hand-clapping and finger-snapping, it is truly a spectacle to watch. This mesmerizing dance form has highly intricate hand movements and footwork that will keep you captivated throughout the performance. Flamenco’s appeal to the international audience has broadened of late, and it is a must-see on the itinerary of every tourist travelling to Spain.

Soccer

There are very few things that would get as much devotion from the Spanish as this game. Soccer is as good as religion in Spain. The Real Madrid team from Spain is one of the most popular teams in Europe. There is no wonder that the Santiago Bernabeu, the home ground of Real Madrid, is a highlight of Spain tourism. The Camp Nou Stadium in Barcelona has to its credit the title of the 3rd biggest football stadium in the world. Soccer fans from the world over should not miss a visit to this stadium, where their sporting heroes battle it out.
