A Little Bit of Spanish Culture

You should consider Spain as your vacation destination if you are interested in a lot of fun, sunny weather and very interesting culture. Whether you want to spend your vacation at a beach or have more of a cultural experience, Spain definitely has something to offer. The climate is Spain is considered as one of the best in the Western Europe. Spain is also one of the most welcoming countries of the continent.
If culture interests you, then Spain will not let you down. Some of the world's most talented artists and painters have lived in Spain. El Greco, Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dali are just some of the names that represent Spain's culture. The works of these talented artists can be seen around the country in Museums like Churches of Toledo and the Prado. Spain is a place every art enthusiast should visit.
If you like dancing, then you should definitely see the southern part of Spain. Seville and Grenada is best known by Flamenco dancers that will make your heart go crazy. Flamenco is considered as one of the Spain's oldest dances. Flamenco has originated from gypsy and Moorish culture. You can see a lot of Flamenco shows all around the country, but the best Flamenco dancers come from the Andalusia province in southern Spain.
Bullfight is one of the Spain's oldest traditions and if you don't have aversions to this activity, then you should definitely see it. This activity still remains one of Spain's most artistic forms of entertainment. If you want to see a bullfight, you should visit the national Stadium in Madrid. This arena is available only for the best Matadors and beginners are not allowed to participate. Killing the bull is not a target that Matadors try to achieve. The emphasis is on the art. Actually it only takes about a blink of an eye for a Matador to kill a bull.
Festivals in Spain are incredible. Pamplona is home of one of the most famous of these festivals. This festival of course is the running of the bulls. This festival should be seen at least once by everyone. If you don't want to see the run of the bulls, then other festivals are happening all over the country during this week.

Spain has millions of things to offer tourists. If a cultural holiday is your goal, then Spain should be in the top of your list. You really have to see it first to believe it.
