Culturizarse<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Si os gustan el arte y la pintura, ten\u00e9is una gran variedad de opciones, dependiendo de la ciudad que visit\u00e9is. En Madrid es obligatorio ir al Prado y el Reina Sof\u00eda, donde encontrar\u00e9is el famoso Guernica de Picasso. Y si os gusta Dal\u00ed, como es mi caso, os encantar\u00e1 visitar Barcelona. Pero si os aburr\u00eds en los museos, no os preocup\u00e9is, el museo Guggennheim de Bilbao es una maravilla arquitect\u00f3nica en si mismo, \u00a1y no hace falta entrar!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u00a0 6. Ver un espect\u00e1culo flamenco<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Encontrar\u00e9is un mont\u00f3n de restaurantes y bares donde hacerlo mientras cen\u00e1is o tom\u00e1is algo.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u00a0 7. Visitar la Barcelona de Gaud\u00ed<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">El parque Guell, la casa Batllo y la Sagrada familia son maravillas arquitect\u00f3nicas que no pod\u00e9is perderos.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u00a0 8. Comer paella y tortilla espa\u00f1ola<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">La comida espa\u00f1ola es increible, y hay muy diferentes platos t\u00edpicos dependiendo de la zona que est\u00e9is visitando, pero la paella valenciana y la tortilla espa\u00f1ola parecen ser las m\u00e1s populares entre los extranjeros. Ten\u00e9is que probarlas, y \u00a1ser\u00eda todav\u00eda mejor si aprendieseis c\u00f3mo prepararlas!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u00a0 9.Viajar con tu imaginaci\u00f3n a la Granada nazar\u00ed en la Alhambra<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hay miles de cosas que hacer en Granada, pero si no pod\u00e9is ir a Sierra Nevada, las monta\u00f1as m\u00e1s altas del pa\u00eds, o dar un paseo por el Albaic\u00edn, al menos deb\u00e9is visitar la Alhambra y dejar que la magia del agua juegue con vuestros sentidos, mientras imagin\u00e1is a Washington Irving escribiendo sobre princesas cautivas y sus amantes Abencerrajes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u00a0 10. Disfrutar de una buena siesta<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Aunque me temo que no tendr\u00e9is tiempo para ello, pod\u00e9is probar lo que es considerado (al menos yo lo hago) el deporte nacional: \u00a1la siesta!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Por supuesto, hay muchas m\u00e1s cosas que hacer, pero quer\u00eda reducir esta lista a un top ten, as\u00ed que dejar\u00e9 de lado el Rastro de Madrid, esquiar en Sierra Nevada o los Pirineos, ver a la gente por las Ramblas (Barcelona), o perderse en alguna ciudad medieval como Toledo. Alguna gente tambi\u00e9n mencion\u00f3 los San Fermines o los toros como su prioridad (entiendo que puedan ser considerados interesantes, ya que son parte de nuestra cultura, pero soy totalmente contraria a ellos). En cualquier caso, si est\u00e1is interesados en alguna ciudad en particular, hac\u00e9dmelo saber y tratar\u00e9 de daros ideas m\u00e1s espec\u00edficas.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a1Disfrutad del resto de la semana!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you remember, last week we were talking about some of the most popular things to do in case you visit Spain, and today now I\u00b4m going to complete the list.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u00a0 5. Get cultured<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you love arts and paintings, you have a wide range of options, depending on the city you visit. In Madrid it is a must to go to the Prado and the Reina Sof\u00eda museums, where you will find the famous Picasso\u00b4s Guernica. And if you like Dal\u00ed, as I do, you will love visiting Barcelona. But if you feel bored inside museums, don\u00b4t worry, the Guggennheim museum in Bilbao is an architectural wonder in itself, and you don\u00b4t have to go inside!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u00a0\u00a0 6. See some flamenco show<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You will find a lot of restaurants and bars where you can see it while you have dinner or some drink.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u00a0 7. Visit Gaud\u00ed\u00b4s Barcelona<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Guell Park, the Batllo house and the Sagrada Familia are architectural wonders you can\u00b4t miss.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u00a0 8.\u00a0 Eat paella and Spanish omelet<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Spanish food is incredible, and there are many different typical dishes depending on the area you are visiting, but Valencian paella and the Spanish omelet seem to be the most popular ones among foreigners. You have to taste them, and it will be even better if you learn how to cook them!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u00a0 9. Travel with your imagination to the Nasrid Granada in the Alhambra<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There are thousands of things to do in Granada, but if you can\u00b4t go to Sierra Nevada, the highest mountains in the country, or take a walk in the Albaicin, at least you have to visit the Alhambra and let the magic of the water play with your senses, while you imagine Washington Irving writing about captive princesses and their Abencerraje lovers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u00a0 10. Enjoy a good siesta<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Even though I\u00b4m afraid you won\u00b4t have time for this, you can try what is considered (at least I do) our \u201cnational sport\u201d:\u00a1 the siesta!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Obviously, there are much more things to do, but I wanted to reduce the list to a top ten, so I\u00b4ll leave aside going to the second hand market in Madrid, skiing in Sierra Nevada or the Pirineos, looking at people in the Ramblas (Barcelona), or getting lost in some medieval city such as Toledo. Some people also mentioned San Fermines or bullfighting\u00a0 as their musts (I understand it can be considered interesting, as it is part of our culture, although I\u00b4m completely against it) . Anyway, if you are interested in any particular city, just let me know and I\u00b4ll try to give you some more specific ideas.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Enjoy the rest of your week!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<img width=\"350\" height=\"231\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/spanish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2013\/01\/431330_10200256801848156_1470178790_n-350x231.jpg\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/spanish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2013\/01\/431330_10200256801848156_1470178790_n-350x231.jpg 350w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/spanish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2013\/01\/431330_10200256801848156_1470178790_n-768x507.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/spanish\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2013\/01\/431330_10200256801848156_1470178790_n.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><p>Si record\u00e1is, la semana pasada estuvimos hablamos sobre las cosas m\u00e1s populares que hacer si visit\u00e1is Espa\u00f1a, y hoy voy a completar la lista. \u00a0 5.
