With a fascinating history, heritage, and culture, Spain is a country that has something to offer every type of traveler. Add in the phenomenal food, music, venues, art, architecture, beautiful weather, and sunny beaches, and it’s no surprise that Spain is one of the most popular destinations for our touring ensembles. Spaniards tend to be incredibly friendly people who really know how to enjoy life, and they consistently provide wonderful audiences for our performing groups. In this week’s edition of Encore Live, expert Tour Manager Javier Parrilla Guix discusses his five favorite things about Spain, and explored the three most popular cities for travelers: Barcelona, Madrid, and Spain. Learn all about the breathtaking venues available to touring ensembles, the beautiful work of Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí, the fine collection of art featured in Museo del Prado, and so much more!
