As yet I have not been to a Flamenco show or seen a Corrida de Toros live. Amazing really, as I have been to Spain so many times...

Things I've yet to do:

Walk El Camino de Santiago, see a rock concert (i.e. Ismael Serrano, Alejandro Sanz, Rosario), experience San Fermines in Pamplona, visit any of the Spanish islands, go to the cinema, visit Granada, bring myself to eat "calamares en su tinta" :p , and finally (actually, there's more but...) ......

MadridMan, if anyone deserves to live in spain, you do, and may it be so soon.

I want to visit Numancia. Walk around the Roman and Celtic camps/ruins.

I would like to walk part of the way of the Camino de Santiago in the Fall.

See the Picos de España during the Summer.

Visit Bilbao and take a cooking course there!

Just to name a few... smile

No tomatina nor corrida en Pamplona for me! eek Way too risky!

I have yet to visit those places where my sefardita ancestors may have lived, i.e., Toledo, Girona, Córdoba, and Hervás.

I would also like to:
See Salamanca at sunset
Visit Extremadura

...heheheee,,, once you eat some calamares en su tinta,,, with a cold cruzcampo to wash it all down...you will actually feel the metamorphoses taking place in your body thus turning you much more into a Spaniard...

Ok TJGuy, I'll go with you to San Fermin, I will just stay on the non-bull side of the fence and pray for you as you run by! laugh Of course, I will apply first aid in the unfortunate happenstance that you, heaven forfend, fall! eek

Lots of places to visit for me yet smile

Not even being born and living here your whole life can you visit all worthy places.

I've never been to Extremadura, León, Barcelona, San Sebastián or Balearic Islands, to name some.
I've never attended a flamenco show, and I've been just once in a Corrida de Toros.

MM: Calamares en su tinta look horrible, but it is just for the ink. The sauce is made with tomato sauce (and thus, tastes good). Taste them at least once in your life! laugh
