Spain is loco for fútbol
Before visiting Spain, or any country for that matter, it's important to know the difference between soccer and football. To the rest of the world, football = soccer, as American-style football doesn't exist outside the US and Canada.
In Spain, football is often spelled as fútbol and is practically its own religion. The nation of Spain has seen some of the game's greatest players in history, and you better know which side you're on before you go.
In Spain, the most popular clubs are FC Barcelona and Real Madrid, and they are arguably also two of the most successful clubs in the league.
Attending a professional fútbol match is Spain is unlike any other experience you are likely ever to have.
Especially if it is Barcelona vs. Madrid, don't miss your chance to be a part of the excitement and atmosphere on game day!
