Boasting a long and illustrious history with music, Spain is a land of pumping beats and pulsating swagger<\/a>. From the colourful mainland to the sun-drenched isles, a variety of styles and genres are showcased through animated lyrics, a mingle of instruments and accompanying dances.<\/p>\n

For every region, there is a new sound to discover. So, it\u2019s little wonder why musical tone forms an integral part of the Espa\u00f1ol identity. And with our guide to the most popular destinations for Spanish music, you\u2019ll not only be well-versed in Spain\u2019s tuneful heritage – but know where you should head for this proud nation\u2019s authentic sounds.<\/p>\n

Seville<\/h2>\n

\"Candid<\/p>\n

Famous for: <\/b>Flamenco<\/span><\/p>\n

Set in southern Spain, <\/span>Seville is the life and soul of the party<\/span><\/a>. Music is everywhere in this sun-draped city, bringing residents and tourists together with its infectious tunes. <\/span><\/p>\n

And while this dazzling Andalusian capital flaunts an array of UNESCO World Heritage Sites, it\u2019s the deep-rooted musical traditions that locals hold closest to their hearts. In 2006, it was named as the world\u2019s first <\/span>Creative City of Music<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The charismatic Triana district is considered the spiritual home of the region\u2019s most famous export – flamenco. Originally created as an expression for the city\u2019s gypsy community, this flirtatious and fiery art-form came from humble beginnings before being integrated into Spain\u2019s national identity.<\/span><\/p>\n

Set out across three forms – toque (guitar), cante (song) and baile (dance) – the melody of punchy guitar tones or soulful lyrics of a cantaor or cantaora are often accompanied by the performance of a flamenco dancer. Usually \u00a0wearing a traditional red traje (dress), her intricate dance of hand-clapping, intensive footwork and delicate arm and body movements is a sight to behold.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Seville<\/a><\/h2>\n

Where to go for flamenco: <\/b>A flamenco performance is never far away in its spiritual home. Throughout the day, street performers are scattered across Seville\u2019s streets and at night, you have your pick of the <\/span>\u2018tablaos\u2019<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Casa de la Memoria is all about its marvellous scenery and intimate atmosphere – however, spaces are limited, so you\u2019ll need to book your place at this exclusive spot. Or head to Los Gallos Tablao Flamenco, where its delectable range of tapas dishes and exotic cocktails enhance your night of singing, dancing and guitar.<\/span><\/p>\n

Top tip:<\/b> For a true masterclass in flamenco, head to Seville\u2019s world-famous <\/span>La Bienal de Flamenco<\/span><\/a> festival.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Madrid<\/h2>\n

\"Panoramic<\/p>\n

Famous for:<\/b> Spanish opera and Spanish jazz<\/span><\/p>\n

Madrid<\/span><\/a> is a melting pot of musical expertise, thanks in large to long-standing influences from other cultures. Surrounding Spanish states and Iberian neighbours Portugal helped fuel the capital\u2019s scintillating energy, while its mesmeric chotis dance – dating back to the 19th century – came from a more distant source – Czech Republic\u2019s Bohemia region. <\/span><\/p>\n

Fast forward to the modern day and the city\u2019s music scene continues to flourish with vigorous diversity and raw passion. From the angelic, passionate sounds of Spanish opera to Spanish jazz and its upbeat, funky rhythms – these two celebrated genres highlight the musical talents of melodic Madrid.<\/span><\/p>\n

Where to go for Spanish opera: <\/b>This cultural haven is home to one of the world\u2019s most glamorous opera houses – Teatro Real. Set in Plaza de Isabell II, also known as Opera Square, this is Madrid\u2019s premier spot for spell-binding compositions. <\/span><\/p>\n

Founded in 1818, it has seen leading opera singers from across three centuries perform here. One of its unique traditions includes artists serenading the public from the outside balcony during intermissions.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Madrid<\/a><\/h2>\n

Where to go for Spanish jazz: <\/b>You\u2019re never far from a classy jazz joint in Madrid. Hosted in elegant bars and clubs across the city, your sax fix is covered. <\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking to experience the best, then look no further than Caf\u00e9 Central – a venue that has played host to some of jazz music\u2019s most prestigious names during its three-decade lifespan. And if you want to see first-hand where it all began, head to Segundo Jazz – the oldest jazz club in the city!<\/span><\/p>\n

Did you know? <\/b>Francisco Franco\u2019s rule over Spain from 1939 to 1975 had a profound effect on Spain\u2019s music scene. <\/span><\/p>\n

The nationalist dictator banned everything linked with regional or foreign cultures. This meant that many artists were forced to stop playing or perform in secret.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Where to stay:<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Silken Al Andalus Palace Hotel:<\/span><\/a> Just a short drive from Seville\u2019s striking centre, this stylish stay comes with a swanky pool area surrounded by manicured lawns and towering palms. <\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s also a waterside snack bar where you can grab tasty nibbles and refreshing drinks under the sun, while your air-conditioned room is a great place to escape the midday heat.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hotel Senator Castellana:<\/span><\/a> Right in Madrid\u2019s heart, you\u2019ll find this convenient hotel. The outdoor swimming pool is perfect for refreshing dips when the city heat is unbearable. From a buffet breakfast to free Wi-Fi and contemporary rooms, it\u2019s a great choice for a Spanish city break.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hotel Vincci Bit:<\/span><\/a> This quirky hotel fits in with Barcelona\u2019s art scene, hence the colourful graffiti and modern painting adorning the walls. Just 10 minutes from the ocean, it\u2019s a fantastic spot for beach lovers. <\/span><\/p>\n

But if you don\u2019t fancy the walk the rooftop pool is a suntrap. As for your room, expect in-your-face patterns and vibrant paintings.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Zaragoza<\/h2>\n

\"Panoramic<\/p>\n

Famous for:<\/b> Jota<\/span><\/p>\n

Spain may be best known for the fervid flamenco, but it\u2019s actually the jota\u2019s folkloric tones whose deeper historical roots run deeper.<\/span><\/p>\n

Unlike its Andalusia counterpart, this Aragon genre (with Celtic influences) has been popular across the country for centuries. Every region from Castile to Murcia provides their own unique take on this 18th century tradition. But there\u2019s no better place to experience it for yourself than the Aragonese capital city of Zaragoza. <\/span><\/p>\n

It is influenced mainly from Celtic folk music, conventional jota instruments include flutes, tambourines, guitaro (a small guitar) and gaita de boto (bagpipes). And of course, no traditional Spanish jingle is complete without a dance to go with it. <\/span><\/p>\n

Danced in pairs, in what was thought to be a celebration of fertility – this courtship jig sees dancers hold their hands up high, click castanets and enthusiastically bounce in time to the fast-paced rhythm and theatrical singing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Where to go for jota: <\/b>Zaragoza is home to a wealth of jota dance groups. Playing in various venues across the city, and known to dabble in street shows, you\u2019ll be sure to stumble upon a performance. <\/span><\/p>\n

But for a true taste of tradition, visit during the city\u2019s annual <\/span>Fiestas del Pilar<\/span><\/a> festival – where you\u2019ll have more jota than you can shake a stick at!<\/span><\/p>\n

Did you know? <\/b>The castanet is regarded as the national instrument of Spain, even though they originate from Italy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Played in two styles, the classical way – where a pair are attached to each thumb – and the folkloric way, which sees them attached to one or more fingers on both hands.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Barcelona<\/h2>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Famous for:<\/b> Sardana and Catalan rumba<\/span><\/p>\n

Famed for its innovative architecture and cosmopolitan culture, <\/span>Barcelona\u00a0<\/span><\/a>has always been regarded as a bit of a trailblazer. And with a musical heritage spanning over 2000 years, this synonymous trait can be applied to its music too. Across the Middle Ages, Catalan composers were major influences in other European cities still trying to find their sound.<\/span><\/p>\n

The late 19th century saw the rise in popularity of Catalonia\u2019s famed sardana genre. Accompanied by a cobla band, an 11-piece group playing folk instruments, men and women join in a circle holding hands and perform a routine made up of slow two or three-step movements. This dance symbolises unity and pride of being a Catalan. <\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Catalan rumba is one of the city\u2019s new-found sounds. Born in the 1960s on Barcelona\u2019s vibrant streets, this eclectic fusion of flamenco, cuban music and rock \u2018n\u2019 roll, provides a fast tempo and zealous attitude to go with it.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Barcelona<\/a><\/h2>\n

Where to go for sardana: <\/b>Almost anywhere. Stay in the city and you\u2019ll find a sardana being performed by locals on the streets, particularly during the summer months, <\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s quite a sight seeing strangers, both old and young, coming together to keep this proud tradition alive.<\/span><\/p>\n

Where to go for Catalan rumba: <\/b>While Catalan rumba is held in high regard, with plenty of street performances and bar bands on hand, it can be hard to find regular shows advertised. <\/span><\/p>\n

Palau de la M\u00fasica Catalana, Barcelona\u2019s prestigious concert hall, plays host to some rumba concerts but you\u2019ll have to keep your eyes peeled to catch one.<\/span><\/p>\n

Top tip: <\/b>Visit Barcelona during <\/span>La Merc\u00e8 Festival<\/span><\/a>. This annual street festival sees some of Catalonia\u2019s high profile artists play in various venues and open spaces across the city.<\/span><\/p>\n

The best part? It\u2019s completely free!<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Bilbao<\/h2>\n

\"Panoramic<\/p>\n

Famous for:<\/b> Folk<\/span><\/p>\n

The Basque Country is a rural region set in northern Spain. With strong cultural traditions, \u00a0its own flag and even a different language – you\u2019ll not be surprised to learn this autonomous community holds an equally unique musical heritage to boot. <\/span><\/p>\n

Folk is the most common sound of the region, with its popular variation being trikitixa.\u00a0<\/span>A typical act involves two players, with one on the accordion and the other playing a tambourine. Other distinctive Basque instruments include the xirula (three-hole flute), taxistu (three-hole pipe) and alboka (a double clarinet).<\/span><\/p>\n

Head to its capital city of Bilbao and you\u2019ll get an authentic taste of Basque music. And if it wasn\u2019t clear before, you\u2019ll soon discover how proud the locals are when they start playing their traditional tunes <\/span><\/p>\n

Where to go for folk:<\/b> Bilbao is all about its late-night culture, serving up its lively music scene through atmospheric clubs and bars.<\/span><\/p>\n

Azenka caters for the city\u2019s alternative crowd but has also welcomed many folkloric bands on its stage. Meanwhile, Residence presents a Celtic theme for live folk sessions and Luz Gaz hosts open-mic nights for up-and-coming artists to perform.<\/span><\/p>\n

Did you know? <\/b>The late 70s and early 80s saw the surge of punk music in the Basque Country – especially in the southern parts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Armed with a new attitude and sense of freedom after the fall of Spain\u2019s nationalist regime, this new generation of music lovers oversaw the rise (and fall) of Basque Punk. So, contrary to popular belief – it wasn\u2019t just anarchy in the UK!<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
