There are always those bizarre attractions, right? You know the ones. The world's biggest ball of yarn, the oldest restaurant, the first, the biggest the fastest, the something "est". A lot of tourist attractions in Spain are based around cultural value and heritage or natural beauty but there are some things that are just unique or strange and worth seeing so you can say you did and have a fun anecdote.

What's even better still, however, is when you can also get something good to eat! Well, look no further than Lanzarote, where you can eat food cooked in a volcano!

Just find a vacation rental in the Canary Islands and head to Lanzarote to visit El Diablo restaurant for a meal unlike anything else you've ever tried before.

When you approach La Boqueria, you are likely to be immediately faced with dauntingly large crowds but try not to let that put you off. There is a reason for those crowds and there is ample reason to join them yourself. Just find a vacation rental in Barcelona and make your way over for some history, culture and great food in Spain.

La Boqueria, or Mercat de Sant Josep de la Boqueria, is a large historic public market in the Ciudad Vieja district of Barcelona and is one of the city's most famous landmarks. Records show that there was a market by the name of Boqueria in the city since at least 1217, when it was noted that tables were installed near the old city gate to sell meat. After this it was a pig market for centuries and then a straw market. Then, in 1840, now with official and legal recognition, an official and permanent structure of the market was built on La Rambla under the direction of the architect Mas Vilá.

We all have that one friend, right? You know the one. The one that can't ever agree on a restaurant or doesn't know what they want to eat...except every single thing you suggest.

Maybe you are that friend yourself but, either way, you don't want group dining to become stressful and annoying when it should just be fun!

One of the best ways to ensure that you don't get weighed down by indecision and disagreements is to choose an eatery with ample options under one roof.

Well, good news for those who have found a vacation rental in Madrid, we've found the perfect place for everyone in the group to eat: Mercado del San Ildefonso!
