The best holiday destinations in May
Spain – Madrid/Barcelona
In Spain at the very end of May, as visitors pour in for Primavera Sound music festival. The 2023 edition of Primavera Sound will once again happen over two weekends. But this time it will be held in two different Spanish cities: in the Parc del Fòrum of Barcelona-Sant Adrià del Besòs, and in the Ciudad de Rock of Arganda del Rey, in Madrid. In both cities, Primavera Sound will maintain its identity as an urban festival with the Primavera a la Ciutat programme for the rest of the week. Also, in both Barcelona and Madrid, this programme will be integrated into the cultural spaces of each venue with different musical activities before the main days. If you can’t bear a tourist trap, then you could always go to the festival’s slightly-less-manic second location in Porto, Portugal.
