Music is in a Spaniard's blood - whether you're popping up a bar in Madrid or lounging on a beach in Ibiza, you're likely to hear anything from rousing flamenco to elegant classical guitar and uber cool chillout vibes.
Wherever you end up holidaying throughout the Balearics, one thing's for sure, and that's that you'll hear plenty of authentic Spanish music. Instruments indicative of this traditional genre include the bagpipes and tabor pipes, however, Jota, a form of Spanish music which incorporates dance is mainly associated with the areas of Asturias, Galicia and Murcia.
When you're looking at deals on hotels, it's also worth thinking about the type of holiday you want, as the soundtrack will be a part of your Spanish experience - culture vultures for example, will enjoy the traditional villages and often guitar based music and dance typically found on the mainland.
Spanish popular music is also going from strength to strength; because of the strong influence of flamenco, much of the music is defined by its guitar riffs, and is therefore popular with people of all ages. Typically this type of music is played in quintessential eateries and pubs.
If you prefer a tamer atmosphere to the raves of Ibiza, you're in luck. There are also a variety of festivals throughout the country, catering to every taste, depending on what you prefer from the link of punk and rock to jazz and pop. The festival season is mostly in the summer on both the islands and the mainland, but lasts throughout the year, so look it up before you go.
