Soccer (or fútbol in Spanish) is much more than just a game in Spain. It's almost a religion for some of the fans. Week after week millions of Spaniards pack themselves in local bars and passionately follow their favorite soccer teams. The country stops and the streets empty whenever an important partido de fútbol (soccer game) is being played.
Spain has a great history of soccer, arguably only beaten by England and Italy in terms of footballing heritage.
Soccer in Spain is inexpensive with tickets available at times for less than 20€ from the clubs themselves.
If you have the chance to see a game, including Real Madrid, Barcelona, Sevilla or Atletic de Bilbao, you'll definitely be in for an exceptional night of soccer.
It's a passion for men, women and children of all ages, which can be difficult to understand to people who come from countries where soccer is not so popular.
