2. Experience the Exhilaration of Spain
Hola! Are you ready to experience the land of the flaming flamenco, football and
fiesta? Bienvenidos! Come with me to experience the rain in Spain, the
fascinating cities, gorgeous beaches and the captivating culture. I am and will
always be intrigued by the kingdom of Spain located on the Iberian Peninsula in
Europe. With endless and attractive sights, things to do and explore, Spain has
been featured on my bucket list as an exhilarating destination.
In my mind, the land of exotic and vibrant Spain is the epitome of color which
takes you by surprise and wonder. I was so intrigued by La Piel de Toro or The
Bull Skin as it is popularly called, that I started making notes of the exciting
sights, festivals and especially the delicious dishes that I was going to
experience. I was also planning on being chased by the bulls at the much-
awaited ‘Running of the Bulls’ at a noted Andalusian city called Pamplona which
also showcases Islamic architecture. I am just waiting to include interesting and
inviting fiestas like the Fiesta de los Patios and the Romería de Nuesra Señora de
le Cabeza which has been held for over 800 years! Can you imagine being
covered with ripe tomatoes at La Tomatina where you will be dripping over with
juice from tomatoes? Sightseeing in Spain covers innumerable UNESCO heritage
sites, art museums the most famous being the Museo del Prado, the Picasso
Museum, the Salvador Dalí Museum and the Guggenheim Museum and of
course other awesome destinations.

3. Go on a Tasteful Sojourn with Breathtaking
Culinary Adventures Being an ardent chef and a foodie at
heart, my adventurous spirit has been
inspired by gourmet and peasant
cuisines. Steeped in Mediterranean
roots, Spain showcases the popular
paella which can be combined with
vegetables, seafood or meats. I am
waiting to devour pescaíto frito or fried
fish, Castilian soup, vegetable and fish-
based stews, the lightly
cured lacón ham and a variety of
seafood. It would be great to start off
my day with graham crackers
and Magdalena, a sweet muffin
before I move to an
adventure-filled culinary journey
with a before-lunch snack of
bocadillos calientes which are
hot sandwiches filled with
bacon, tortilla, pork loin and
sausage.

4. Disfruta tu comida…enjoy your food! That’s
what warms the cockles of my heart! I just
love the cultural influences of Spain with its
Mediterranean Spain, Inner Spain and the
Atlantic Spain cuisines that range over
soups like gazpacho, rice based dishes,
stews and seafood. It would be wonderful
to sit down to a meal filled with culinary
delights after exploring the cathedrals,
museums and the awesome architecture of
Barcelona. Exhibiting the much-talked
about Catalan cuisine, Barcelona showcases
the famed truffled sweet potato, cod
brandade and oxtail soup to enchant the
taste buds of adventurous spirits. Madrid
opens out avenues of shopping with its
central barrio and is ideal for picking up
quirky gifts and souvenirs. Which
adventurer is not fascinated by history? I
just love the passionate and sophisticated
lifestyle of Spain as it uncovers the secrets
of the Alhambra in Granada with its
fortified palace, the seat of the Nasrid
emirs.

5. Witness a Kaleidoscope of Sights, Sounds and Sensations
If you love exploring, the
Alcázar in Seville ranges out
the Mudéjar and Christian
architecture which houses the
UNESCO-listed palace complex
of Palacio de Don Pedro which
is breathtaking and memorable
taking pride of place. Enriching
a rich culture, Córdoba
beckons with its spacious and
remarkable Mezquita. Toning
up the sweet life, I would just
adore to sink into a cushion of
oblivion at Ibiza and relax on
the sun-drenched beach
sipping a Cava and enjoying
the Tapas or starters.

6. Did I tell you that the beaches of Tenerife, Mallorca and Gran Canaria are
just as inviting and relaxing? I could sit all day watching the waves and
chilling out with great seafood dishes such as Pulpo a la Gallega or boiled
octopus, Sepia or cuttlefish, Calamares or squid, Buñuelos de Bacalao deep
fried and breaded cod, garlic shrimp or Gambas Ajillo and Pescado Frito or
fried fish.
My bucket list seems to grow immeasurably with sights, sounds and
sensations of Spain as you visit San Sebastián. Your day will turn into myriad
adventures as you explore the amazing Aquarium and its marine life. Not to
miss sights are the scenic Parque de Cristina Enea, the fiesta-inspiring Playa
de la Concha and the Playa de Ondarreta and the Kursaal which showcases
cultural and conference centers. You can make a pit stop at the numerous
bars and cafes where you can enjoy the pintxos and sip Horchata, a non-
alcoholic drink, Sangria, sherry wine or Fino and Cider or Sidra.

7. Be it the flamenco, the fiestas, the fiery nightlife or the fascinating sights,
Spain is one of the must-see destinations which will be etched in your
heart, mind and soul.
