The resorts of Spain, which are gaining popularity, lure tourists not only with unusual sights, but also with unique cultural programs. Every year in February, colorful carnivals and celebrations take place here.
At this time, you can see the Spanish interpretation of the New Year‘s carnival, witness unusual stage performances and take pictures against the backdrop of the symbolic figures of dragons, lions and monkeys, which are the symbol of the coming year.
At the end of the celebrations, the guests of the carnival will be offered to enjoy musical and choreographic shows that embody a mixture of two cultures – European and Eastern. By the way, this is only the third Chinese New Year celebration in Spain. Since 2014, when the carnival was held for the first time, more and more tourists from China and European countries come to visit the colorful show. And the Spaniards themselves, apparently, liked such a celebration, uncharacteristic for this region.
Since we are talking about Barcelona, it will be interesting for tourists to know which places and attractions you can visit absolutely free of charge. Surprisingly, you can get into Catalan museums without spending a single euro! So, every Sunday from 15:00 local time, admission to all city expositions and exhibition halls is free. Well, every first Sunday you can get into the halls from the very morning.
Guests of the city will be able to get acquainted with the magnificent collections of the Historical, Maritime, Musical Museums, the Picasso Gallery and many others.
Those who wish to visit local temples will not have to pay for a ticket – the cathedrals of Santa Maria del Mar and Maria del Pi, as well as the Cathedral of Barcelona, whose doors are open daily from 8 to 13 and from 17 to 19.30 hours.
Charity is also found among the guides, who are happy to organize an unforgettable acquaintance with the city for tourists. Usually excursion routes run through the Old Town and the Gracia area. To make the walk complete, tourists will need to speak the local dialect, or at least Spanish or English.
But one of the most striking sights of modern Barcelona – the light and musical fountain – can be visited on your own. It operates several days a week: in winter – on Fridays and Saturdays, and in summer – from Thursday to Sunday.
Well, for lovers of delicious food, we recommend taking advantage of the kindness of local bars. In such establishments, when ordering drinks, visitors are given tapas for free. If, in the midst of the excursion, your throat is dry, do not rush to buy water in stores. You can get drunk in one of the special fountains that are scattered throughout the city.
But in Madrid, the subway decided to try himself as a seller of souvenirs. On the site latiendademetrodemadrid.com, tourists and just admirers of the metropolitan subway can buy unusual souvenirs. Today, there are more than 5 dozen items of various products to choose from – books, accessories, souvenirs and much more.
