Spain

Had a fab time in spain earlier in the year and loved drinking red from out of a porron. It's my friends birthday who travelled with me to spain coming up and would love to get her one. Could only find really ornate tacky touristy ones in spain and thought i would be able to find one possibly back in the UK. However have not been able to find one for love nor money online or in any shops in the UK. Is anyone able to help out??

Has anyone done a guided tour of the Alhambra? Does anyone recommend a particular tour provider? I looked up "Tours of the Alhambra" on google... and I found myself with too many options. If anyone has a good experience with a particular tour group, I would really appreciate your advice :)

Hello All,

My boss is going to IBIZA for a week with his wife and He asked me to help him get a good hotel close to the nightlife... He is very much into dance music and wants to be close to the action.

His budget is 100 Euro/night, but could be higher!

They want a comfortable place, but the most important thing is the location!

I will appreciate any help on the subject!!!

Gracies,

Hey, Im going to Spain in July and will be mostly in Madrid with a few stops, (Barcelona, Toledo, Valencia). I would really like to be able to purchase a few things that arent touristy but are unique to the country and region that I cant find here in the US. Please let me know if you know of any items that I would get a bargain there, designers to look for, or any great shops worth visiting. Thanks so much :)

Hello people, I'm here because I'm lost and in need of advice.
I have a gap between my study time, from 18th of July untill 15th of September. I would like to study Spanish in Spain, but i would like to enjoy the summer in a beach town as well. I lived in Barcelona before, and I'm not talking about this kind of beach town. I mean a small city with a very beautiful beach with gold thin sand and blue water, and hot weather. Where i could rent a small studio flat and take spanish classes. I've been…

Hello my fellow travellers.

I would be very…
