There are a number of reasons for Spain to be on your bucket list. Be it the culture, the food, its natural beauty or simply a love for all things Spanish. Whatever maybe the reason, Spain is 'a must visit' destination! It is a great place to unwind, leave all your worries behind and just enjoy what it has to offer. Ideally, the months from March to May are the best time to visit Spain.

Madrid and Barcelona are two of the most famous cities of Spain. Madrid, apart from being the capital city is also the financial centre of Spain. It is home to many artistic attractions thanks to the different styles that have left their imprint in the city over the centuries. It is also home to the Royal Palace of Spain, the Paseo del Prado fountains, the Toledo Bridge, the Prado Museum etc. Barcelona is heaven for Barca fans! Experience your favorite football team live in action at the Barcelona Camp Nou stadium and feel the spirit of the game! Viva Barca! A popular tourist attraction in Barcelona is the famous Sagrada Familia Cathedral (circa 19th century) - it is a UNESCO World heritage site. Barcelona has a wild side too! Party enthusiasts can witness the pulsing nightlife in this vibrant city.

Valencia is the place to be if you want to tickle your taste buds and experience a very traditional Spanish Paella (a rice and meat delicacy). Buol, a town approximately 30 miles away from Valencia hosts La Tomatina, the world's largest vegetable fight. The "battle" takes place during a weeklong celebration filled with on-going festivities and with even greater anticipation for the monstrous tomato battle that serves as the culmination of the week's events.

Apart from the usual suspects like Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia etc, Spain has a lot of other destinations like The Canary Islands, Costa del Sol, Costa Brava, Pamplona etc, which are popular in their own right but still remain unexplored by many. If you are a beach lover, then, The Canary Islands is the place to be. Tenerife is the largest and the most populous of the seven Canary Islands. It has some spectacular beaches where you can enjoy a host of water sports, go scuba diving, or simply sit back and sip on your Sangria and watch the azure waters of Spain go by. Can't get enough of sun, sand and surf? Then continue your beach excursion at Costa del Sol and Costa Brava. Run with the bulls in Pamplona and let the adrenaline kick in! Give your trip a fitting end and experience the wild side (literally) of Spain.
