Going to a trip to spain =)?

Show all answers

don't stop BELIEVING;;

Wow! My friend and her class went this year, i heard they had a BLAST. You should go to Valencia, Spain. They have awesome carnivals. Do you have a home stay? Those are interesting. I would absorb the culture. They have flamenco dancers and everything! The food is great, too. The museums are boring at first, but have great Picasso art. Especially the one in Madrid. Their shoes and shops are great, if you're willing to spend a lot of money. It's quite expensive over there.

toe poe gee gee oh

If you are going with your class...then the trip is arranged . What you see is already decided.

Few travelers can visit Galicia, Catalonia, Andalucia and the far-off Canary Islands on a single trip, but any of these sights would be the highlight of a vacation.
The Alhambra â€“ Not just one of the top places to see in Spain, but one of the worldâ€™s most important sights for its history, architecture, art and cultural significance. Within the walls of this royal palace of Nasrid dynasty are buildings, courtyards, gardens and a mosque, intricately decorated in stone carving, mosaic, tiles, filigree and enamels.

Gaudi architecture in Barcelona â€“ Gaudi took Art Nouveau a step farther, creating fanciful â€“ even outrageous â€“ buildings that have become landmarks as well as the signature pieces of this Catalonian city.

Santiago de Compostella â€“ In the magnificent cathedral repose the relics of Saint James, the goal of pilgrims since the Middle Ages. This entire city in Galicia, with its arcaded streets and pilgrims hospital, now a posada, exudes charm.

Cesar Manrique sites on Lanzarote â€“ Art, sculpture, architecture, nature and landscaping all combine in the imaginative works of this artist, who transformed derelict buildings, gravel pits and lava tubes into architectural and artistic masterpieces.

Seville's Cathedral â€“ The largest cathedral in Spain and â€“ depending on how it is measured â€“ either the largest or the third largest in the world, the importance of this church is not just its size. The gold main altar stands several stories tall, a solid wall of saints.

El Escoriale â€“ The monastery and palace set into the foothills near Madrid is also the pantheon for the kings of Spain, whose remains lie in an elaborate crypt under the basilica. The church, monastery and palace contain a number of works by major artists, and the vaulted and frescoed ceilings in the public parts of the monastery are well worth seeing.

The Guggenheim at Bilbao â€“ You really have to see this building to believe it â€“ no photograph has ever done justice to this symphony of shapes so alive that they seem ready to take wing. American architect Frank Gehry used blocks of limestone and undulating sheets of titanium to turn the notion of modern architecture on its ear.

Great Mosque of Cordoba -- So large is this mosque, with its row on row of graceful arches and pillars, that an entire cathedral built into its center after the reconquest of Spain by the Catholic Kings almost goes un-noticed.

Palacio Real -- The kingâ€™s residence from its completion in 1764 until 1931, Madrid's royal palace is on the site of the old Moorish AlcÃ¡zar. The throne room, royal apartments and a gallery of paintings by such artists as Caravaggio, Goya and VelÃ¡zquez are all open to the public.

Toledo â€“ Mudejar (Moorish), Gothic and Renaissance architecture mingle and blend into a city that El Greco captured in one of his most famous paintings. The Gothic cathedral is splendid, its interior richly decorated, and a pair of synagogues are ornate in the Moorish style.

EDIT: Two places I suggest you to go see are La Plaza Mayor and Palacio Real. La Plaza Mayor is a huge tourist attraction and really beautiful. You can eat there and there are lots people walking around selling things like characatures and of course food. It's like part of Disney World but with no rides. It's really historical, too, because hundreds of years ago there were bull fights right there under your feet. Now they just have some free concerts LOL.

Palacia Real is not somewhere you can get into, but looking at it would work. It's the Kind of Spain's palace (not only used for meetings) but it's the largest palace in eastern europe! Around 135 sq miles big. It was built in the 9th century so it's ancient, too. They probably won't let you in but maybe there's a building next to it that's high enough so you can go up and see more.

If you're going to be in Madrid, you guys can easily travel to other nearby cities. You can go on day trips to places like: Toledo, Segovia, Aranjuez & Avila.

In Madrid, there's plenty to do and see. Definitely visit El Parque del Retiro, El Museo del Prado (which is one of the most important museums in the world), la Plaza Mayor, el Palacio Real, and walk through La Gran Via - great shopping!

Spain was awesome I just went on a school trip there. Barcelona is really nice.

you have to try: Sangria (it's like sweet fruity wine don't worry about age they serve everyone)

and make sure you see the flamingo dancers... if you look too young they won't let you in... but me and my friends do and they let us in you should be fine.

and really most of us didn't even worry about sights... worry about the shopping... and the shoes!
