On the 15th May 1933 the first commercial plane, a
three-engine Fokker VII, landed at Madrid-Barajas
Airport, although the official inauguration of the
airport was two years earlier, on the 30th April
1931.
LAPE, the Spanish Air Mail Service, was one of
the first airlines to use the airport, with a regular
flight to Barcelona and Seville. This airline later
became Iberia. The ticket price, approved on
December 1932, was 150 pesetas for the flight
Madrid-Barcelona and 125 pesetas for the flight
Madrid-Sevilla in a FockerVII/3M with capacity
for 8 passengers and 2 cabin crew.
After 80 years, more than 990 million of

Los Sanfermines, the bullfighting
fiesta. The city of Pamplona is world
famous thanks to its San Fermín fiestas.
Thousands of people come every year
to experience the risk and excitement
of the popular running of the bulls,
immortalised by Ernest Hemingway
in his novel Fiesta. San Fermín starts
on 6th July at midday. At that moment
the chupinazo is launched from the
balcony of the town hall. It is a rocket
that marks the official start of the
fiesta, causing an outburst of joy amidst
the crowd gathered in the square. The
first running of the bulls is held the
following day: at 8am the doors of the
Santo Domingo corral are opened,
and hundreds of people run in front
of the bulls on their route through the
old town to the bullring. One of the
most exciting moments happens a few
minutes before the start of the running
of the bulls, when runners entrust
themselves to San Fermín, singing
three times in front of a small statue on
Cuesta de Santo Domingo Street.

Gastronomy in Seville is as rich as it
is diverse: old recipes that has been
passing through generations,mixing
traditional and modern cooking. In
Seville there are excellent national and
international food restaurants, but
it is the “tapeo” the real brand mark
of Seville’s gastronomy. If the visitor
wants to really get to know this brand
mark, he or she will need to taste the
wide variety of tapas available in bars
and taverns. Fried fish, here known as
“pescaíto frito”, is almost an obligation,
specially anchovies, puntillitas, and
marinated dogfish. The “Tapeo” is not
limited to eating and drinking, but
it is more of a social activity, which

by the experts: you need to harmonize
Flamenco is a complex concept, with
several variables and difficult to attach
to a unique social or ethnic group.
In Seville, visitors can enjoy daily
flamenco shows thanks to the direct
heirs of the “cafés cantantes”: the
“tablaos flamencos”. There are shows
in the different old neighborhoods and
in small town festivals.
