Everybody who is travelling to Spain wants to try typical Spanish food and drinks like Sangría. Sangría is a kind of wine punch and works well as a cheap party drink. Sangria derives from the Spanish word "sangre" which means blood. But Sangria is not always red like blood, there exists also Sangría which is made with white wine and therefore called "Sangría Blanco".
Sangría was originally created in Spain with Rioja and other Spanish red wines. Soon, however, the Cava-producing area adopted a sparkling white version. In the south of Spain Sangria is called "zurra", and is created with peach or nectarine.
Sangría usually is comprised of red wine, chopped or sliced fruit, juice, a sweetener such as sugar or honey, a small amount of added brandy, triple sec, or other spirits.
Sangría is often served in 1-litre pitchers or other containers large enough to hold a bottle of wine plus the added ingredients.

Palma is the capital of Mallorca and of course it offers many things to visit for tourists like Palma´s cathedral. 500 years were needed to complete the magnificant building. It´s a really surprising buliding because there are "modernista interior" features designed by Antinio Gaudí, best known for the Sagrada Famila in Barcelona. The original foundation came with the Christian Reconquest of the city. The church derives its effect through its sheer height, impressive from any angle but startling when glimpsed from the waterside esplanade.
On the way into the church, you will pass through the "Museu de la Catedral".

The island of Ibiza is most famously known for its summer parties, with thousands of people flooding in for the big summer club nights.
Every February before Lent, it's carnival time in Spain, and Ibiza joins in the fun to welcome the spring. Also known as the Mardi Gras or Pancake Tuesday in the rest of the world, during this festival the whole island gets into the mood for celebration. At carnival time locals and tourists wear fancy costumes and go to the streets. Everywhere, the music is loud, good food is served, colours run bright, and alcohol flows endless. Parties and processions during this period lasts for a whole week.
