It’s Spain! Everything you ever dreamed of, nothing like you expected. Yes, it’s beaches, cathedrals, sangria and tapas. But it’s also historic Islamic architecture, enchanting music, and breathtaking topography. It’s bullfighting rings, fast-paced flea markets, flamenco in a smoky tavern. It’s art exhibits hiding in Gothic quarter alleyways featuring all female artists, and popups with local vendors on a crowded plaza. It’s blistering conversation with a taxi driver and authentic Spanish cuisine recommended by a guest house concierge. It’s Europe’s oldest bar (El Rinconcillo), with a full scale butchery and ramican of pig cheek stew. It’s coffee in a record store, Spanish beer on a riverwalk, and laser lights in a foggy night club. It’s Spain!
