Travel Spain

Spain is the land of romance and amazing oddities. From bullfights to Gaudi to partying the night away on Ibiza, travelers could easily spend a year exploring Spain.

Madrid

With a population of over three million, Madrid is a big, modern city in central Spain. The suburbs of Madrid are very modern and not particularly interesting. Make it to the center of the city, however, and you are in for a treat. Small alleys, hidden squares and odd little shops are the norm.

In this center, you will find a vibrant public life with outdoor cafes literally overrun with the passionate and interesting people of Madrid. When visiting the city, keep in mind it is very hot in the summer and pretty cold in the winter.

Have you ever been to Spain? No, however you plan to spend some time here and wandering what are the best places? Spain is my favourite country. You can visit and spend couple of days in the town or city such as Barcelona, Madrid, Bilbao, san Sebastian or Toledo if you like culture. If you like hiking you cannot miss Cantabrian Mountains (Cordillera Cantabrica), Pyrenees or Sistema Central. Last but not least, get to know folkloristic traditions – Flamenco and bullfights in Pamplona and Seville.

You can find bullfights everywhere throughout the country. However the most popular event – “Running of Bulls” during the Sanfermines in Pamplona.

Flamenco is the musical tradition in the south in Andalusia. You can visit Feria de Apbril in Seville in April. It is an entire week of singing and dancing and trying that great Sherry wine, those delicious tasty snacks called “Tapas” and more Sherry wine. If you like this kind of things you should not miss it. You can also take the course and learn flamenco – dancing as well as plying guitar.

The trains of Spain are efficient, fast and relatively cheap. But in order to commute by train, you need to make an itinerary, not taking everything for granted.

There are a number of routes that are not very well served and the coverage is also not efficient at many places. You cannot expect everything to be cheap and quick always while decided to travel by train. Planning involves looking and going through the entire timetables and different routes of train in Spain. Different websites and portals can cater to your needs.

There is no doubt that a lot of times traveling by train will be cheaper in Spain as compared to the long distance travel in any other country. In fact, charges of train travel in Spain are nearly half the price of that in Germany or France. At times, train travels in Spain can also be extremely luxurious, especially if you are going for La Robla train tour. Luxury packages from Bilbao to Leon are also available.
