Gaudi’s majestic creation has been wowing crowds since it first began construction in 1882. Since then, multiple architects have taken up the reins on the project, some honouring Gaudi’s original designs, other’s redefining the creation completely. The multiple and varied facades of the building, plus its sheer size and majesty, make it a must do for any traveller visiting Barcelona.
Seville is renowned for its gastronomic offerings, and whilst the traditional dishes may be simple to prepare, they’re bursting with fresh regional flavours. Gazpacho, Pescaito frito and Huevos a la Flamenca are all famed Andalusian specialities, or for those preferring traditional tapas, Seville has around 4,000 tapas bars to choose from – take your pick!
Get a glimpse of life as the other half live with a guided tour of the Royal Palace in Madrid. The largest palace in Europe, the Palacio Real de Madrid is the official residence of the Spanish Royal Family, though is only used formally for state ceremonies. Gorge your eyes on the many works of art by famed Spanish painters as you delve a little deeper into Spain’s rich history.
Nowhere on Earth will you experience clubbing quite like Ibiza. Home to some of the world’s most infamous clubs, come and join the party as night after night revered world class DJ’s play their hearts out to adoring crowds. Get into the mood with sunset cocktails at Café Del Mar then party till sunrise at Space, DC-10 or Ibiza Rocks.
Some cities are fortunate enough to have the perfect city/beach balance, and Barcelona is one of them. Whilst Barceloneta Beach may be man-made, the water is clear and refreshing and the beach is alive with travellers and locals alike chatting, swimming and generally loving life. Spend long leisurely lunches in the surrounding cafes and restaurants, hire bikes or rollerblades or just relax in the sunshine.
Rising from woods of cypress and elm, the Alhambra reigns supreme on the hillside of Gibraltar. This fortress, originally built in the 11th Century, holds an extensive network of lavishly decorated palaces and irrigated gardens and gives those who visit it a glimpse into the rich history of the Spanish empire, and the influence both Islam and Catholicism had on the Alhambra’s design.
Combining a heady mix of awe inspiring architecture, mouth-watering food, bronzed beaches and lush countryside, a trip to Spain is a melting pot of sights, tastes and experiences. Whether you’re after culture, food, history or just the perfect place to top up your tan, Spain has a plethora of options just waiting to dazzle you. Check out our top picks of things to do in Spain.
You’ll immerse yourself properly into every place you visit. Whether it’s Berlin’s illuminating history or the quaint villages of Santorini, you’ll explore with a local guide who knows their stuff and loves what they do. You’ll expand your horizons and see new ways of living with unique experiences, like learning to be a Gondolieri in Venice or dining in a restaurant that supports refugees in Austria. But Contiki is about more than the destination. It’s about the people, AKA your Contiki crew. Who you’ll build amazing connections with from the very first coach ride, and maybe even become BFFs for life.
