Spain in review

Flamenco, bullfighting, seafood paella, lazy siestas in the hot red sands of Andalucia. Muse at the masters of the Prado Museum and dance all night in frantic Madrid, stroll past art deco masterpieces and gossip in hole-in-the-wall champagne bars in Barcelona, savour the relics of the Islamic empire in Granada, indulge in the mindless hedonism of the Balearic Isles, wonder at the Celtic incongruity of Galicia, test the bounds of your sanity with Salvador Dali in Figueres, tempt fate to run with the bulls in Pamplona, hurl tomatoes in Bunol, bake on the beaches of the Costa del Sol, sate yourself in the tapas bars of San Sebastian, lie exhausted and satisfied on a hotel bed in Spain.
