Bewitched by exotic Spain

 

Every place has its own beauty, landmarks and signature flavours. But a true globe-trotter will always try and step beyond those clichés to discover something new and exotic. Spain is one such nation which aptly fits into this category. This European country is globally famous for its flamenco dancing, bull fighting, Tomatina festival, Tapas tradition, the historically invincible Spanish Armada, the football clubs and the glitzy fashion weeks. Besides the capital Madrid, also worth exploring are Valencia, Barcelona, Milan, Madrid and Granada. Adventure freaks can indulge in adventure sports like underwater diving, bungee jumping, exploring the corals and aquatic creatures on the ocean bed or scanning the skyscape by air-diving or parachuting. Boy, I had an out-of-this-world underwater experience, which was simply breathtaking! Nerves have to be really strong and steely for this, for it’s quite a stunt for sure! Sea-lovers can hit the scenic beachtown of San Sebastian, which is a great culinary hub as well. Feast on platters of tasty seafood and refreshing drinks. Located in the northern Basque country, this charming city is composed of a series of beaches connected together by well-designed boulevards and a swanky, sprawling city centre. Spanish people are very compassionate and culturally rich. They are always eager to embrace you with a hearty welcome. Be it their cinema or performing arts, they are proud of their culture and passionate about maintaining its quality of excellence. They are also very proud of their language, often evident in their heavily accented English. Too much to offer and even more to imbibe, a single trip to the Spaniards’ haven is not enough. So, I hope to return to the country very soon.
