Things to do in Spain

Visit La Sagrada Familia
One of the most spectacular architectural masterpieces by Antoni Gaudi, La Sagrada Familia is the world’s largest unfinished Roman Catholic Church, a mix of art nouveau, Gothic and Catalan-modernism styles with construction started in 1882 and continuing to this day. Legend tells that if Gaudi’s design is ever completed, the world will end, so it may be better left undone.

Take on the Caminto Del Rey Hike
If you’re looking for a thrill, the Caminto Del Rey trek is made for adrenaline seekers. The slightly more than three-foot-wide path straddles the side of El Chorro gorge near Ardalas in the Malaga province, nearly 330 feet above the gorge below. It travels for almost two miles and was originally built for workers at a hydroelectric power plant close by.

Finish the Camino Trail
Pilgrims and outdoor adventurers alike shouldn’t miss the chance to hike one of the many Camino pilgrimage trails to Santiago de Compostela, a medieval city that’s one of the most beautiful in all of Galicia and the final resting place of St James. It provides an unforgettable adventure allowing you to walk for several days or several weeks, covering the entire route.

Eat Lots of Tapas and Sangria
The tapas in Spain are unlike anything you’ll find at home, a must-try even better alongside the traditional sangria. The word tapas literally means “lid” or “cover,” allowing you to sample a variety of small plates, from churros to patatas bravas, calamari and everything in between. Experience food sharing the Spanish way at early every restaurant and bar in the country.

Take a Flamenco Lesson in Seville
Dancing is an important part of many traditional Spanish celebrations, and the national dance in Spain is flamenco. While you’ll find flamenco dances in restaurants and bars, Seville is arguably the top spot if you want to immerse yourself in authentic flamenco culture. It offers many fantastic places to catch a live performance and even learn how to dance it yourself.

Explore Ronda
One of the most unique and beautiful cities, Ronda was carved out of a mountain overlooking a deep gorge and dates all the way back to the 6th century. Located in the heart of Andalusia, it has an authentic Spanish feel and is the home of modern-day bullfighting and also boasts the most well-preserved 13th-century Arabic baths in Spain.

Soak Up the Sunshine in Malaga
Malaga is a region and city along the Costa del Sol, a place so captivating it often appears on Spain holiday brochures.

Visit Old Malaga
While many visit Malaga to enjoy some of the country’s most beautiful beaches, in the city itself one can discover rich history that includes ancient ruins scattered throughout along the historic citadels. Pablo Picasso once lived here, and visitors can also visit the world-famous artist’s home and museum to get an in-depth look at his works and his life.
