Watching videos about a country are a fantastic way to get a feel for a place before you go over and spend time there. Especially those videos that the locals themselves are watching. Spain may well be a popular and well-known holiday destination but there's still nothing like viewing its sights and listening to its sounds on film. This Viva Espana video starts with a fabulous fanfare and a flash of the Spanish flag before giving you wonderful overview of Spain. It's a lovely introduction to the country.

Like many other countries, Spain has hit on the idea of using its stars to promote the various regions. So, for the sports lovers out there (and the ladies) here's the tennis player, Rafael Nadal, extending a personal invitation to his island of Mallorca.

Whether you're interested in star-spotting the likes of Rafael Nadal or you've booked flights to Lanzarote for a more relaxing holiday, one consistent thing you'll find across Spain will be the amazing music that it produces. From the cheesy but ever popular Macarena (already viewed over 33 million times on YouTube) to the world-favourite and internationally-acclaimed Gypsy Kings. These two ends of the musical spectrum each bring something for everyone, in their own cheeky and wonderfully Spanish way.
