Spain

ALHAMBRA IN GRANAD 
This moorish fortified palace is absolutely incredible. The complex is vast and occupies a large portion of the city centre, so make sure you have a whole day to explore it. 

DO TAPAS! 
It is one of the best and most uniquely Spanish things to sit in a bar in the evening and eat tapas while you have a drink. 

DALI IN FIGUERES 
Salvadore Dali has become one of the most loved painters in the world, and his mausoleum/museum is a surreal as the visions he created. This is one of the highlights of the north of Spain. 

DIEGO VELAZQUEZ 
Visiting the Prado Gallery in Madrid will open your eyes to Valazquez, possibly the greatest ever Spanish artist. 

RUNNING WITH THE BULLS 
Join in with the celebrations in Pamplona, but it is best to let others run with the bulls at the most famous festival in Spain.

EXPERIENCE GAUDI'S BARCELONA 
Of all the buildings in Barcelona that Antoni Gaudi designed, no visit is more spectacular than Parc Guell. The large park has numerous buildings and sculptures featuring Gaudi's well known broken tile style, and elegant organic curves, a great day out for all ages. 

FLAMENCO! 
A must do for Andalucia and the South of Spain is to catch some of the heel tapping music known as Flamenco. Twenty five years ago it looked like Flamenco was on the decline, but has recently enjoyed a huge surge in popularity, and not just as a tourist attraction. 

RONDA 
After driving through the Andalucian Mountains, you eventually come to Ronda, perched at the top of a huge cliff, with a magnificent bridge spanning the gorge between the old and new towns. Ronda also has the oldest Bull ring in Spain, and roman baths.
