Hi Lisa, you should definitely experience Catalonia, the region in the north where you find Barcelona. It's amazing to see how different the culture is from the rest of Spain and how proud the people are of their different culture. Barcelona can be VERY busy and touristy but it's definitely still worth a visit. For a taste of 'real' Spain in this region I would recommend Tarragona, short train ride from Barcelona with an amazing historical centre that is not at all touristy. Lots to do but equally restaurants are FULL of locals and such an spanish atmosphere of people sitting outside and socialising all day, even in november (it was like 25 degrees celsius which always helps as well!). Also would recommend Valencia, Grenada and even Madrid if you aren't going in summer. Basque country similarly has it's own strong identity. Avoid the Costa del Sol if you don't want a tourist trap! Hope this helps!

Thank you EmmaKay. We are planning to visit Spain in May. Tarragona sounds great, thanks for the recommendation. I heard that May is great time for bullfights in Madrid. Are their bullfights in all regions of Spain? If you had to choose between visiting Valencia or Grenada, which would you choose?
