Percussionist Bickram Ghosh shares his Spain travel diaries
Explore the Alhambra Palace and more through the percussionist’s lens along with top three must-do activities there

Want to get a glimpse of Spain, especially the Alhambra Palace? Percussionist Bickram Ghosh recently took to Instagram to share an album containing different shots of the spot. He and his peers, including mridangam player BC Manjunath, can be seen getting touristy at the venue having the time of their lives. While we wait to see where else the tabla player will explore in Spain, here are three things to do during your visit:
1. Explore historic cities: Visit Barcelona with its stunning architecture by Antoni Gaudí, including the Sagrada Família, and Madrid, home to the Royal Palace and world-class museums like the Prado and Reina Sofía.
2. Enjoy Spanish cuisine: Savour authentic tapas, paella and churros. Visit local markets like La Boqueria in Barcelona or Mercado de San Miguel in Madrid to experience fresh, local flavours
3. Relax at beautiful beaches: Spain has some of Europe’s best beaches. The Costa del Sol, Costa Brava, and the Balearic Islands (including Ibiza and Mallorca) offer stunning coastlines, clear waters and vibrant nightlife.
If you’re planning a Spanish holiday, also check out the food recommendations and experience a sherry tasting in Andalusia.
