Spain highlights

Food.
Cod fish/bacalau when done well is melt-in-your-mouth delicious. Who knew sweet vermouth was as a thing - well it is! Flamenquin is pork loin with cheese, rolled in ham, bread crumbs, and fried - outrageously good! Pork cheeks - wow! Churros and chocolate for breakfast - don’t mind if I do.

Culture.
Rich Spainish culture which brings together history, faith, and food. The Jewish, Moorish Muslim and Catholic Christianity brings a fascinating depth to the country, not to mention the Romans before and the more recent development during imperialism, intertwined with a modern country.

The Mezquita.
I’ve never seen a building quite like the Mosque-Cathedral in Cordoba!

Trains.
Spain knows a thing or 2 about good trains. Travelling at 300km/h in comfy seats is a pleasure.

Spain in spring.
Blue skies, cool mornings, warm days, trees, fields and flower beds showing off their colours.

Passion for their history.
Especially in the south where Moorish influences are more obvious. Madridians are very proud of their artists.

Catholic traditions.
Stepping into the Almudena Cathedral in Madrid during mass and listening to the singing. Arriving in Seville during Easter Holy Week celebrations, with the processions and activities deeply rooted in history.Leia mais
