There is much more to Spanish culture than many tourists actually see.
There are plenty of buildings of great architectural value around Spain, particularly its churches and castles. Even the humblest pueblo or aldea has its charms, like main square, church or cathedral, a castle, a monastery.
Flamenco is the widely known musical tradition in the south of the country, particularly in Andalucia. It takes it`s roots from the cante jondo (deep song) of the gypsies. Sevillana, on the other hand, is a folk dance. Girls all over the country learn to dance the sevillana.
Sport number one in Spain is of course football, which has a greater national following than in Britain. Over 300,000 spectators attend the games in the Primera División and millions follow the matches on television.
La corrida de toros or the bullfight still has deep roots in Spanish culture. La lidia, another name for bullfighting, reachet the peak of popularity in the mid-eighteenth century, when breeders developed the first breeds of toro bravo or fighting bulls.
Cafés usually provide the centre of social activity in the town and village. Tapas are an important part of the Spaniards’ way of life. Tapas are mini snacks, often displayed on the counter in bars, and include things as calamares (squid), callos (tripe), gambas (prawns), albondigas (meatballs) and boquerones (anchovies) marinated in vinegar. Tapas can be taken as a meal in themselves or as a tasty bite before going on to a restaurant for dinner.
