Spain has been at the top of the list of popular holiday destinations for many years now. The attraction for most UK holiday makers is of course the relatively short travel time, fantastic climate, wide use of English language and a large number of cheap package holiday deals to name but a few.
When Spain is mentioned a lot of people immediately think of beach holidays and cheap package holidays, although there are many other excellent reasons to visit Spain. I have put together a list of my top 5 things to do and would encourage anyone going on holidays to Spain to make time for a least a couple of them.
1. Running of the Bulls: Every year thousands of people from all over the world flock to the streets of Pamplona to take part in Spain’s most famous fiesta to honour the Navarre capital’s patron saint, San Fermin. Anyone can take part although it can be very dangerous and probably best to watch from a safe distance!
2. Visit the Nou Camp: The home of FC Barcelona, the Nou Camp is the largest stadium in Europe with a capacity just short of 100,000. It truly is a sight to behold and if you only see one thing in Barcelona make it this.
3. Gaudi’s Barcelona: Antoni Gaudi was a unique and hugely talented architect. His work has a huge influence on Barcelona and you can see examples of this all over the city.
4. Tapas: Wherever you are in Spain tapas is a must. It is not a specific food type, but a way of eating. You will usually get a number of small portions of food such as chorizo, potatoes and tiger prawns.
5. Golfing At Valderrama: Valderrama is regarded by many to be the number 1 course in Europe. The 17th is notoriously difficult and tests the skills of even the top pros.
As you can see there are a whole host of options when it comes to holidays in Spain and you are sure to have a fun packed holiday whatever you decide to do.

Thanks for the tips. You have to love the Spanish Tapas. In La Cala de Mijas, in Costa del Sol, there is a tapas restaurant down by the beach that is to die for. I’ll be back again soon!
