Spain: Dive into a vibrant and warm culture
A vibrant folklore:
Flamenco in Andalusia, jota in Aragon, paloteo in Castile, the regions of Spain continue to honor ancestral dances. More than anywhere else, Spain is proud of its folklore and preserves it with fervor. The craftsmanship of the elders is mixed with the enthusiasm of the younger generations; this is how traditions endure. In the Basque Country, you will be surprised to see that Basque pelota is not an outdated sport. Whether played barehanded or with the chistera (basket), the new generation lets loose. In Valls, the tradition of castells (human towers several meters high) is not ready to collapse. As for the ferias, they continue to attract more and more people, like in Pamplona. And in Spanish arenas, "Olé" is chanted at all ages.
A Journey Through History and Culture
Spain, a crossroads of civilizations, unfolds treasures of refinement etched in stone over time. It preserves the last memories of a successful artistic coexistence between Muslims, Catholics, and Jews. Castles, fortresses, palaces, and places of worship such as cathedrals, churches, mosques, and synagogues: cultural Spain is undeniably diverse.
Discover the Spanish Nightlife
Country of all excesses, Spain lives, sings, shouts, and, above all, sleeps little. From dusk until the early morning, from bar to bar, from nightclub to after-party, night owls passionately follow a true festive protocol. One might think that this taste for extravagance is unique to the local youth, but think again. During fairs or major celebrations, the whole of Spain stirs in unison. Travelers will find it hard to resist the contagious exuberance of the Spanish fiesta.
A Gastronomy Between Tradition and Regional Diversity
There is so much to say about Spanish gastronomy! It is impossible to reduce it to the classic trio: paella, gazpacho, turrón. One should start by explaining the meal times and the various places where one can eat. Describe the "tentempié," this meal taken between breakfast and lunch, and dedicate an entire volume to the different dishes. To put it simply, you will enjoy yourself! Each region has its specialties, as do the cities and villages. Within a fifty-kilometer radius, local dishes vary. Of course, restaurateurs are keen to use local products: farmed or game meats, sea and river fish, dairy products, fruits and vegetables, charcuterie, not to mention the wines...
Exploring Biodiversity in Spain
Encountering deer a few kilometers from Madrid, lynxes in the forests of Castile, birds of prey in Galicia... Spanish nature holds treasures. Of course, there is the beach, which continues to be the element that attracts the most tourists each year: calm beaches with fine sand of the Mediterranean, rough sea and wind blowing in Andalusia, big waves of the northern coast. And of course, in summer, the sun does not disappoint. But the beach should not overshadow other ways to enjoy Spain: hiking on the Camino de Santiago, skiing in the Pyrenees or near Granada, discovering rare species in natural parks.
Religious Celebrations for All in Spain
The religious fervor of the Spanish people is well known, inscribed in the history of the country as well as in the hearts of its inhabitants. However, compared to other European countries, Spain stands out for its excessive taste for the theatricalization of faith. Religious festivals are numerous and vary according to the regions. But non-believers can be reassured, liturgical folklore is very often complemented by secular festivities.
Holy Week, the Feast of the Kings, and Corpus Christi are the three main religious festivals celebrated with great joy throughout the country. These events, although deeply rooted in religious tradition, are also moments of gathering where the community comes together around cultural and festive events.
