Spain’s retro style highlights and Spanish retro culture
When the majority of people talk about holidays in Spain, they do not consider the retro culture that the country has in abundance. Instead, the majority of people focus on the obvious strengths of the country like the weather and beaches, which of course are fantastic features as well. Here, we will explore some of the retro culture available in Spain.
Festival Internacional del Cine Clásico de Granada Retroback
This wonderful film festival is held every year at the end of January. This movie festival has quickly become one of the largest retro celebrations of film in Europe. Back in 2011, the festival was littered with some of the most well known faces from years gone by. One of the main exhibitions at the festival focused on Audrey Hepburn. To celebrate this, her own sons Sean Hepburn Ferrer and Luca Dotti opened the festival, and they brought along some of her most prized memorabilia’s along for fans to view.
Carrer Riera Baixa – Barcelona
If you are on holiday in Barcelona, you need to go and visit one of the most popular retro fashion districts in the country. From 20s frocks to 60 chic you will find a shop that you simply do not want to leave. The road came about when one person opened a retro store, and it did so well that another opened on the same street to add competition, and before you knew it there was essentially a road full of these shops.
Rent a Vespa in Madrid
As the capital of the country and one of the most popular destinations, there are a few people who choose to explore the city with the Vespa scooter. The perfectly named Trip Chic offers the chance to hire a scooter as part of a city tour, to use alone or even to hire one with a personal shopper. Using this type of scooter is also a great way to get around the capital because you did not need to get caught in traffic.
The three ideas above are a few of many retro activities you can get up to in Spain. Remember, as mentioned before, the country has plenty of other benefits as well, which makes it perfect for those who like to explore, and those who like to relax.
