Spain is located in Southwestern Europe and was once part of the Roman Empire. Spaniards are very proud of their culture, country, region, and language. And they should, because this country has a lot to offer. Each region in Spain has its own unique traditions, language, and cuisine, providing a diversity of cultural experiences.
The official language of Spain is Spanish, and it is one of the most spoken languages ​​in the world. In addition, some regions in Spain have their own regional languages, such as Catalan, Basque, and Galician. Words that are useful to know: Hola (hello), Por favor (please), Gracias (thank you), ¿Habla inglés? (do you speak English?)
We wanted to get away for two days and chose Bilbao, because we had never seen the north of Spain! It was a short flight of only 1.5 hours from Amsterdam and we had wonderful weather in February! In this blog I'll share my five highlights of our trip!
There was a time, a very long time ago, when Jennifer and I didn't have any kids yet, that we would occasionally go back and forth to Barcelona for a day. I know what you're thinking now, but in our defense; flying was still very cheap back then and we did everything in the context of 'yolo' (you only live once) 😂. Oh well, who wouldn't want to spend a whole day eating delicious tapas and shopping at Zara?
Valencia is a really nice city. It is not so crowded as touristic Barcelona and it is also very green. That's why I think this city is perfect to explore with children. I'm taking you on our five-day trip.
