The rich culture of Spain makes it a perfect choice for holiday travel
If you are planning for a visit to Spain and want to go camping there, Barcelona must be the best place. Barcelona is one of the most famous cities for camping. So if you want to pack your bags
and go camping, this is the place to go. You can easily rent(租) mobile homes especially if you are
traveling with family and have small children. Buses can take you to tour the city. There children can have sports like beach volleyball, swimming, games on the playgrounds, etc. Though these camp places have changed the real meaning of camping, your family will enjoy yourselves. The next place is the largest city and the capital of Spain — Madrid. It has a wonderful night life and has the biggest bull ring. Besides bull fights, you can visit lots of museums and art galleries all over Madrid.
In Spain it is easy to find a place to stay in. You can choose to stay in mobile homes, hotels, holiday homes, tents, or flats. Each choice would be comfortable. Last but not least, one of the best things for everyone visiting Spain is its food as well as its wines. While some areas of the country like the Rioja are well-known all over the world because of its excellent wines, other areas of Spain are
famous for excellent fish and meat dishes.
