Spanish culture on the Costa Blanca
Spain is widely known for Flamenco music and dance, bullfights, fantastic beaches and lots of
sunshine, but it has much more to offer than that. It has been one of the cultural centres of
Europe for thousands of
years.
Food & Drink
Every region in Spain has its own specialities, for instance the very popular paella
originated in the Valencian region. Probably the most well known type of Spanish cuisine
is tapas, which can be found in most areas. Tapas are small snacks ranging from vegetables
to seafood, and are excellent for either a bar snack or meal with friends. A traditional &
favourite to Spain is Serrano Ham, delicious served with melon as a starter, or added to
cooked dishes such as paella or pasta to add flavour. Spain is mainly a wine drinking
country, where Rose wine is particularly popular. Each region produces its own special wines.
There are several large breweries in Spain also, which produce light, lager-like beers.
Fiestas
Mostly, fiestas in Spain are religion based, mainly Catholic. They are usually flamboyant
and colourful, and provide an excellent atmosphere. Each town and city of Spain have their
own special celebrations, however public holidays such as Christmas and Easter are widely
celebrated with Fiestas.
Nightlife
Spaniards work hard, but they also play hard too! The nightlife in Spain is mainly
lived in the streets where outside terraces are usually full to capacity which creates
an exciting atmosphere and pleasant ambience. Most bars open late, with night clubs
closing in the very small hours of the morning. The Costa Blanca provides nightlife to
suit all ages with both quiet lounge bars to bustling night clubs.
