Things to do

The profusion of sights, sounds and activities that typifies Spain may detonate a migraine in you as you decide what to do, where to go, what to see and which to do first. It would help to know what you’d like to do before you get sucked in and lost in the whirlpool of sensual cornucopia. Or, you could do it the Spanish way—live for the moment, proceed, get sucked in and lost, and have a great time! As Cervantes advised, "Too much sanity may be madness…"

There are tours and holidays of every humanly imaginable way. Experience their football fanaticism and get tickets to the games, or visit an emblem that punctuates their fanaticism, a football museum! They also take their olive oil and food very seriously. They have olive oil tours, wine tours, culinary tours that include cooking classes, pottery/ceramic tours that include lessons, language tours that include language classes, donkey trips that include donkeys! Infinite possibilities!

There are museums you could spend a lifetime in, ogling the stunning masterpieces of Spanish legendary artists Degas, Picasso, Miro, et. al. Or traverse through time with history and archeological tours; get intoxicated with nature tours, mountain adventures, ocean gallivanting above and below, aerial sightseeing on a hot air balloon, ad infinitum.

Whatever you choose to do, you must watch a flamenco performance—in song, dance and guitar. There are theater entertainment options both indoors and under the sky. These links may help ease the vertigo and possibly narrow down your choices:
