Travel guide to Spain: Activities and experiences you must do
Spain has many experiences and attractions to offer that will easily become the highlight of your vacation. Among them are some special and unique ones that you just can't miss out on. Well, we aren't talking about those touristy monuments or mainstream cultural shows but rather some offbeat activities you will surely thank us for. Without any further ado, let's acquaint you with them.
Ditch the crowd and head over to a secluded beach
Spain is known for its stunning beaches that attract thousands of tourists daily. However, you can ditch the crowd and instead go to some quiet, secluded beaches which are easily accessible. You can reach Menorca on foot, on horseback, or on a bike. Other beaches include Cala Sardinia featuring white pebbles, and Cala Bramant which has wild and secret coves.
Dive into an underwater museum
Museo Atlántico Lanzarote in Canary Island is Europe's first-ever underwater museum. It features many sculptures and artificial reefs placed 12 meters deep into the water. However, your dive is subject to the weather conditions, so make sure you are going for it on a sunny day. You will be surprised to see how much aquatic wildlife has gathered on and around the statues.
Throw tomatoes at random strangers
Time to throw some tomatoes at random strangers! La Tomatina is Spain's favorite and most popular festival (or should we say a tomato battle?). It's organized on the last Wednesday of August, attracting several locals and tourists. Although it has no religious significance, it is merely a fun way of celebrating life. The after-parties that go up till the morning are worth attending.
Reach Portugal from Spain in just 60 seconds
What if we told you that you could travel to Portugal from Spain in only 60 seconds? Sounds too good to be true? Well, Limite Zero offers just that. It's a zipline that connects Sanlúcar de Guadina in Spain with Alcoutim in Portugal. You will traverse through the 730-meter-long line into Portugal at a speed of 80kmph. Cherish the rolling hills around you!
Eat food that's cooked over a volcano
At Restaurante el Diablo, you can eat food that is cooked over an active volcano! No, we aren't kidding! Tucked away in the Timanfaya National Park of Lanzarote, here you can savor volcano-barbequed dishes. As the restaurant is quite close to the volcano, the temperature is bound to be hot. It is advised to bring a fan or a mist spray along.
