Fragrant paella, sumptuous wines, thrilling bullfights and flamenco–Spain evokes a myriad of delights to enthrall all the senses. This gorgeous country–both fiery and laid back, classic and exotic–is filled with centuries of history celebrating a number of cultures past and the innovations of new Spanish artists. Be it while looking at Picasso’s paintings or running with the bulls in Pamplona, with no shortage of concert venues and unique musical traditions, Spain is its own whirlwind and exciting choice for an undoubtedly fabulous concert tour.
