Soccer Tournaments in SpainIf you choose to attend any of the dozens of soccer tournaments in Spain, your experience will combine some of the finest soccer in Europe with one of that continent’s premier tourist destinations.Back in the 1960s, Spain was one of the first European countries to recognize the potential windfall that could come from international tourism. Since then, it has built up a huge tourism infrastructure of hotels, airports, beaches, restaurants and the like that probably can not be matched anywhere in Europe. As a result, Spain has become the third most popular tourist destination in the world. It is also a country that absolutely adores soccer. There is a reason that two of the world’s richest clubs, Real Madrid and Barcelona, come from Spain.
Weather is HOT in the summertime, particularly in the south, but very pleasant in the spring, when you can actually ski in some mountainous regions in the morning, and still spend the afternoon on the beach. Madrid and Barcelona are both famous for some fantastic architecture and, of course, you simply must try and take in a match (or at least a stadium tour) of either the Nou Camp (Barcelona) or the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu (Real Madrid). And if you can catch one of the semi-annual games between these two great soccer rivals, so much the better. But be warned, this is a rivalry that extends way beyond the soccer field, and they can be pretty intense affairs.
Here, then, is our list of soccer tournaments in Spain.
