Travelling around Spain
Madrid is the capital and the biggest city with twice the number of people of Barcelona, the next biggest. About forty seven million live in Spain. In some locations, you can ski in the morning and sun bathe in the afternoon.
You can also run with bulls and get pelted with tomatoes. For the latest on what going on in Spain, go to the website of the
Spain Tourist Board. As the website will show, Spain has a lot more to offer than sunny beaches and the Costas.
It rivals France in terms of good wine and exquisite foods. Discover the Asturias, with mountain ranges and a climate similar to Scotland.
Spanish Events
The two most well known events are the Pamplona Bull Run, in early July, and the Tomatina Tomato Fight in August. However, before that, head to
Tenerife in February for the carnival and festival that celebrates the Burial of the Sardine!
