Spain

When we got to Spain we went to the beach a lot but it was so crowded. Then we decided to go to Barcelona. It was so crowded in Barcelona but we went to see some Gaudi buildings and lot of other things. We were told to go to Gerona but then we heard that Gerona was not so impressive and so we did not go in the end. Afterwards we decided to find a bay with fewer people. Finally we found one with no one else. We stayed in Spain for five days.

Our Guidebook: The weather is variable. You do not need a visa or vaccinations but I would advise you to take your passport if your are travelling by car. The traditional language is Spanish.

Good things to do in Spain We think if you are going to Spain for the holidays you should go and see a bull fight and a flamenco dance. When we went to Spain we didn't know quite what to do except eat the good food so we looked in the guidebook. In the front there was nothing and on the back there was nothing so we were disappointed and threw the guidebook away. But we saw a drawing on the back pages of a bull fight so we went to buy our tickets. Tickets were sold for the sunny sections, the shady sections and normal sections of the arena. We were lucky to have a place because it was the last bull fight of this year. (They only have bull fights on Sundays in the summer.) When we found our seats it was already very noisy.
