SPAIN is the largest country in Southern Europe. The mainland of Spain is bordered to the north by France, to the West by Portugal, to the East by the Mediterranean Sea and is the only country in Europe to have a physical border with the African continent (Morocco). Madrid is the capitol and largest populated city, with other major urban areas that include Valencia, Seville, Malaga, Billbao, and Barcelona. Spain’s official language is Spanish and the dominant religion is Roman Catholic. The country has a rich multi-ethnic history of empires and recorded cultures settling on the Iberian Peninsula territories as far back 35,000 years ago.

Today, Spain is a highly developed nation with the fourteenth biggest global economy. In 2017, it was ranked as the second most visited country in the world with over 82 million foreign visitors. The summer months are especially popular and a great time to be there!

Barcelona is the cosmopolitan center of Spain’s Catalonia region, where the scenic neighborhoods and lively culture bring diverse tourists from all over to this part of Europe. There’s cuisine and wine to sample in addition to art galleries and famous locations like the Sagrada Familia, Valencia Central Mercado, the Black Madonna at the Montserrat Monastery, the Dali-Theatre Museum and the medieval city of Girona (where the Game of Thrones TV show is filmed).

The island of Ibiza is a hot spot & has become a legendary resort getaway that needs little introduction. You can tan on the amazing white sand beaches by day and party with celebrities & jetstters at the hottest venues by night. Other optional stops in 2023 include Lisbon & Croatia. It’ll be another Summer experience you don’t want to miss with the Funky People!

Packages with Hotel Only or Hotel + Airfare. State preferred options with quote request.

WE RECOMMEND THIS EVENT: Atlanta’s House in the Park is a musical exploration of the soul and a vision to see House Music become a unifying movement, transcending every strata of society – ethnic identification, race classification, age and lifestyle. DJ Ramon “Rawsoul” Guyton, the visionary behind Rawsoul Entertainment, and Kai Alce, the man behind record label NDATL, launched House in the Park in 2005, as a gift to the city and the community that supports the monthly music-social offering “The Gathering.” HITP adds much needed variety to the Atlanta music scene and features a range of House Music’s emerging local, regional, and international talents. DJ Ramon Rawsoul orchestrates this effort simply for the joy of bringing his favorite music genre to life in a tangible, meaningful way.

Start your planning soon for Atlanta’s 19th annual #HouseInThePark Weekender – September 1-4, 2023! Check the official website for updates, announcements, ticket sales to enter, the 2023 park location & more at: www.houseinthepark.org
