Featured Article: Excellent Tourist Activities In Spain
History, a diverse climate, an incredible mix of cultures, and a
range of activities mean that the country of Spain is one of the
most visited tourist spots in the world. The diverse landscape
and peoples make Spain a great destination for vacationers
seeking any type of activity. Here are some ideas for things to
do in Spain, based on some of the most popular activities.
Visit the Mediterranean
As the Western gatekeeper of the Mediterranean, Spain has long
been known for its beautiful beaches and resorts. It is the
first of the European countries to border the Mediterranean when
journeying east, so it is a natural destination for people from
the United States and all over the Americas. Travelers also find
a lot of appeal in the warm waters of the Atlantic Ocean that
border Spain on its west coast, above and below Portugal.
Northern Spain in particular has been noted for its many surfing
opportunities.
Country Tours
Spain is known as one of the world's most productive
agricultural countries, and tourists love to take a trip to the
many vineyards and olive groves cultivated throughout the
countryside. The groves of Jaen and the vineyards of Majorca are
particularly popular.
Cultural Events
Any time someone thinks of Spain, they naturally think of
festivals. The country is the land of the fiesta, and there are
festivals to enjoy year round. Carnival is one of the most
famous celebrations, celebrated throughout the country but with
the biggest parties in Cadiz and Santa Cruz. The April Fair in
Seville is also widely known for its flamenco dancers and its
bullfighting, and all over Spain the running of the bulls is
practiced each year.
History
Spain is the home of a rich and varied cultural history,
evidenced in the many components of Spanish culture today. Spain
was one of the northern most points of the ancient Islamic
empire; in fact, it wasn't until the years just prior to
Christopher Columbus sailing to the New World that the forces of
Allah were permanently ousted from the country. This mixed
heritage is still celebrated in the Moros y Cristianos
festivities in southern Spain in the springtime. As mentioned,
the country is credited with funding the person who eventually
was given credit for discovering the New World, and there are
museums and monuments throughout the country commemorating that
historical voyage.
With its varied landscapes and cultures, Spain is a country that
has appeal for any tourist.
