What to do

-Sightseeing is the one thing all vacationers want to do and Spain happens to offer plenty to see. Parks are the best places to do this. An example of this is a park in Madrid that contains a river, a lake and an auditorium. If you do decide to take a walk here there is a range between natural beauty, giant sculptures and even playgrounds. There is also the complex in Valencia that hosts an outdoor gallery and many indigenous plants which is pretty epic and unique.

-Most of the time people go on vacation to relax. It does not always limit you to just educational activities. Spain has very amazing beaches and the weather in August is an added bonus. Spending your days getting tan of the beach is a very relaxing experience.
