Many people have already learned about the glorious history of Spain in junior high school history textbooks. This super empire, which once sailed the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean, gained great wealth through colonization and was later defeated in the hegemony with Britain. Since then, it has never recovered, but now it has passed on many strange habits and traditions.
The pink block is a former colony of Spain.
The local "strongest illegal construction and longest-lived unfinished building" is Sagrada.
Família), this is the creation of Spanish architect Antoine Gaudi. 1882 started construction, which has not been completed this year. Sagrada Familia Cathedral is the only building in the world that was listed as a World Heritage Site before its completion, but it has never been approved by the municipal government and now faces a fine of 280 million RMB.
The church is expected to be completed in 2026.
The design of Sagrada Familia Cathedral rarely has straight lines and planes, but is mostly composed of spiral, cone, hyperbola and parabola, which is full of rhythm and movement. The main body of the church consists of 18 towers, representing Jesus, the Virgin Mary, the evangelist and the twelve disciples respectively. The interior space was inspired by the forest and decorated with colorful flower windows. At sunrise and sunset, colors flow with the light in the church, just like a dream.
Except Sagrada Familia, almost all the most famous buildings in Barcelona were built by Gaudi: Casa Bartholomew (Casa).
Batlló) was inspired by the story that Saint George killed a dragon to save the princess. The chimney is a hero, the roof is a dragon, and the princess is every girl who is fascinated by magical buildings.
Casamirra La
Pedrera) is a private residence with uneven roof and uneven walls. The balcony railings made of twisted iron bars and iron plates make the whole building look like a rough sea, as if it brought people to the Mediterranean.
Quayle Park (Park
Güell) is a "utopia". Two candy houses are the entrances to the park, and the viewing roof on the roof has the longest seat in the world; The whole park is made up of dazzling mosaic tiles, like a fairy tale world hanging in the air.
Spain is not only the place that many architects worship, but also the place that drunkards all over the world yearn for most. Spaniards like Russians and China love to spell wine-but not with drinking, but with splashing. Spain's "wine splashing festival" can be regarded as the theme war of the most local tyrants. La rioja is a world-famous wine town. In the last week of June every year, Hello, St. Felice,
Felices) and SanPedro will have a crazy wine war (Batalladelvino)!
If you miss the Songkran Festival in Thailand, you might as well go crazy in Spain: wear a red scarf and white pants up the mountain. The battle officially starts at 9 o'clock, and it only takes 2-3 hours, and your whole body will be dyed red with wine!
Besides red wine, Spanish cider and white wine are also delicious on earth. Although Astigarraga has a small population, there are 24 wineries. The local specialty is a kind of cider called "Sagado", which tastes fresh and a little sour. White wine and Spanish ham are an excellent combination!
Who loves to come besides architects and drunkards? Fans, of course! Football is the second largest religion in Spain (the first religion is Catholicism/Christianity), and Spain is one of the symbols of football for fans.
Spain's national football team won three consecutive championships in 2008 European Cup, 20 10 World Cup and 20 12 European Cup. Barcelona football team is the only "six champions" in the world football; Real Madrid cf 2065 438+08 won the World Club Cup.
To say that the most haunted place for fans all over the world is probably Nou Camp.
Camp), the home of Barcelona, the largest football stadium in Europe and the third in the world, can accommodate nearly 654.38+million spectators. You can usually buy tickets to visit, and you can watch the Champions League, La Liga and King's Cup in the stadium from August to May every year (book tickets in advance)!
Besides architects, alcoholics and fans, swimmers also like to "surf" in Spain. When we saw the beaches in Barcelona, we remembered that Spain also had sunshine and beaches.
Food, wine and noisy nightlife make Netta Beach in Barcelona a tourist attraction. We can order a beer and chat with three or five confidants, take off our clothes and go surfing and swimming on the beach, and enjoy the Mediterranean scenery quietly in the cafe.
If you are not interested in noisy beaches, go to Playadela's shell beach.
Concha) This quiet and peaceful atmosphere is the best place to escape from the world. Shell Beach was voted as the sixth of the top ten beaches in the world and the most beautiful beach in Europe by global tourists. On sunny days, climb the playground on the hill overlooking Shell Bay. A pale gold is sprinkled on the sea, and the beach looks like an innocent white-edged shell.
The last person who loves Spain is a huge group of foodies. Paella, French snails and pasta are also called "three famous western dishes". For southerners who love rice, it is good news to use saffron as seasoning with shrimp, crab, black clam, oyster and squid, and Huang Chengcheng rice.
Spanish fried dough sticks are national breakfasts with a history of hundreds of years. The fried dough sticks are sprinkled with a layer of delicate sugar and then wrapped with a layer of fragrant chocolate. The sweet and salty taste is matched with the crispy taste inside, as if fritters and donuts are combined into one, which is novel and delicious!
If we leave enough time for Spain, we can also visit famous restaurants around the world: San Sebastian, which is known as the world's first food cost, and ——ake larre, a local Michelin three-star restaurant.
Approved on 1987. Their "laboratory" creative dishes not only retain the original flavor of the ingredients, but also surprise people;
Lavina is a century-old shop located in San Sebastian. The most famous bar is not wine but cheesecake. Even Satoshi Ishihara punched in! Crispy crust and cheese with red wine make the food infinitely extended!
Beijing/Shanghai /Xi 'an/Chengdu/Shenzhen all have direct flights to Spain (of course, it can be cheaper to book a tour with Aifeile), with a round-trip direct flight to 3900 and a transfer to 2000. Accommodation in Madrid and Barcelona is also rich and frugal.
If you want to go to Spain, you must get a Schengen visa. We used to be stumped by the high threshold signed by Schengen. However, from June, 5438 to June, 2020 10, the world is about to usher in the policy reform of e-signing in the EU!
The benefits of Schengen electronic signs include:
At present, it can only be three months in advance, and you can apply for electronic signing six months in advance;
Applicants can fill in, submit or even sign the application form online without going to the embassy;
The validity period of "multiple entry visas" for all member countries in the unified Schengen area is 1 year, with a maximum of 5 years;
Shorten the decision-making time of issuing authority from 15 days to 10 days, with an average time of 5 days.
There was bullfighting in ancient Spain, but now there is football. It is a paradise for artists, alcoholics, gourmets, fans and swimmers. Compared with the industrious people of China, the Spanish really love festivals, which is very fun! The end of June is the wine splashing festival, July is the bull running festival, and August is the tomato festival. I wonder which festival you like to go to.
