Appreciating Spanish Culture

Spain has been listed as one of the most popular and preferred places to visit as a holiday destination. That is quite an honor as Spain does indeed have so much to offer that the popular preference is not a surprise.

Reasons for its popularity:

There is little wonder for Spain to be globally preferred as tourists’ holiday resort as there are so many cultures, traditions, sights and wonders, art pieces and amazing architectural designs to behold.

There are numerous tourist destinations that have been properly designed and publicized with amazing sights, fare, accommodation and local hospitality that is as warm as the sunshine there. For the obvious offering, the golden sandy beaches, you are spoiled with the choices of Andalusia, Segovia, Salamanca, Canary Islands, Mallorca, Toledoere, Valencia, Catalonia and Benidorm, to name just a few. Many parts of Spain are filled with beautiful sandy beaches for your taking.

Besides the fun in the sun and its sandy shores, visitors also have the choice of checking out exciting destinations like Barcelona, Madrid, Pontevedra, Vigo, Sevilla, Granada and Cordoba. There is so much to see in each of these big cities with its culture and cuisine offerings.

Cuisine:

There is no other place than Spain to get an authentic Spanish cuisine. The local fare is not only delicious; it is tempting and affordable. There are plenty of restaurants, bars and cafes for a quick bite or a full meal where you can enjoy your food slowly. You can also pick up various local fares from the surrounding food markets and food vendors spread around the inner cities.

Spanish cuisine’s uniqueness lies in its freshness, quality, variety, taste and availability.
However, one must be adventurous to check out the various Spanish cuisine offerings.  Every dish is distinct and every bite will enhance your knowledge of its local fares. One way to do so is to observe the dishes others are taking; then you will be able to order the same on your next try out.

The famous Spanish fare is the Jamon Serrano or the delicious dry-cured local ham. It is a common local produce in Spain that can be found in any local food market. It is usually served in raw thin slices, like the Italian prosciutto. Spain is the originator of Jamon Serrano; hence, the best place to check it out is in Spain.

There are many reasons for one to consider Spain as a second home or a permanent resident; there is the exquisitely rich language, the healthy lifestyle that is practiced here, plenty of diverse activities to occupy you, rich culture and impressive historical architecture. The bullfights, music and dancing will all raise your adrenaline. Spain is one of Europe’s best cultural icons.
