The rich cultural diversity, stunning architecture, beautiful beaches, island escapes and delicious cuisine offer more experiences than you can squeeze in to just one holiday. Here are the top 10 things to do while visiting Spain:
Explore Antoni Gaudí's masterpieces like the Sagrada Família, Park Güell, and Casa Batlló and take a stroll down La Rambla in this trendy coastal city.
Many different civilisations have lived in Spain, each leaving their mark on the country through architecture, religion and culture. From Cartagena’s ancient fortifications and the Roman Theatre of Mérida to the Moorish architecture of Granada and the cathedrals of the Christian Reconquista, you can travel through time in Spain.
Spanish culture is vibrant, known for its iconic flamenco dancing, bull fighting, architectural heritage, colourful festivals like the running of the bulls in Pamplona, its mañana attitude, and cuisine that includes local delicacies like tapas and paella.
Spain is located on the Iberian peninsula and enjoys a Mediterranean climate in most regions. However, due to its geographic spread and diversity, there are also areas that have Atlantic, continental and even desert climates.
Generally, the country benefits from sunny weather, with most regions of Spain seeing over 2,500 hours, or 104 days, of sunshine every year. Check the specific weather patterns for your chosen region to help you plan. Co-op Travel can help you with this.
Typically, spring and autumn are good times to visit Spain as temperatures remain mild without the intense heat of the summer. Summer is peak tourist season, so choose another season if you want to avoid the crowds. Prices are often higher during this time too. If you like the vibrant atmosphere that summer tourists bring, join the party in July or August.
If you’re after a skiing holiday, visit in the winter months. And if you want to catch the famous ‘Semana Santa’ (Holy Week) you’ll need to travel at Easter. If you want to visit Spain’s famous vineyards during the grape harvest, autumn is the best time to go.
Enjoy the communal experience of a true tapas experience. Savour the flavours of the traditional Valencian paella, and treat your taste buds with locally caught fish, in particular Spanish delicacies such as grilled octopus and marinated anchovies. Taste the cured meats Spain is famous for, in particular the jamón ibérico and jamón serrano. Pair these with a local cheese such as manchego. Wash it all down with a glass of Spain’s spectacular rioja wine.
