Never Have I Ever Done This in Spain…
Have you ever played that “Never Have I Ever…” game? It’s pretty simple. Someone starts a phrase with “Never have I ever” and then says something that they have never done. If you have done that thing, you have to stand up, or raise your hand, or lose a point…
…Personally, I like the version where you take a shot if you have done it.
It’s a fun game, and you learn a LOT about your friends playing it. Maybe a little too much.
But until recently, I never thought about playing the travel version of “Never Have I Ever”.
I love hearing stories about other people’s travels. I love watching travel or food vlogs on YouTube.
Some of my favourites include:
When I watch these shows, they remind of places I haven’t been, things I haven’t done and food I haven’t eaten (Yum! Food!!). Playing “Never Have I Ever…” is a good way to hear about what you can do in other countries, like Spain.
Let’s try it out. I’ll list some of the exciting things I haven’t yet done in Spain. If you’ve done them, that’s amazing. Tell me about them. If not, maybe I’ll see you there.
Never Have I Ever…Snorkelled the Medes Islands
Snorkelling is high on my priority list of things to do. I’m certain the world is full of places to explore and have fun in.
But when I heard about the snorkelling in the Medes Islands off the Costa Brava, I was enthralled. Although the islands themselves aren’t anything to get excited about, it was the waters that really intrigued me.
The seven islands have been protected as a marine park for over 30 years. That means the wildlife has had a chance to really thrive and grow. The clear water reveals some incredible fish and coral creations. It almost feels as though you could fish with your bare hands if you were allowed.
But the marine park allows visitors to experience ocean life at its best. One day, I’ll be there.
Never Have I Ever…Visited a Beach Club in Mallorca
Of the two islands, Menorca and Mallorca, it’s the larger one that gets all the attention. And for good reason. The island is just one of those happening places that you absolutely must do at least once in your life.
Or so I’ve heard…
The stylish bars are all over the island. They all have beachside views, stunning setups, and a nightlife that has to be seen to be believed. Sometimes, when I travel, I enjoy being by myself.
But, other times, I want to let my hair down and get a little wild. It’s on these nights that I’d like to visit somewhere like Nikki Beach, go people-watching at Ponderosa Beach, or get a little pampered at Mhares Sea Club.
The finer things in life can be found on Mallorca. And it’s worth treating yourself by going there.
Never Have I Ever…Done the Museums of Malaga
If Spain is known for one thing, it’s their passion for art. They LOVE it! And when I visit the seaside town of Malaga, I fully intend to soak up the class and atmosphere of their museums.
It’s not just about art, although that’s a huge part of the museums here. It’s about the culture of enjoying something creative and classy.
Most people like to enjoy something conventional like the Malaga Automobile Museum. I wouldn’t mind visiting myself, seeing the collection they have. Or you could go to the Pompidou Centre, an interesting collection of fine and modern art.
something like the Museum of Glass. It’s these off-the-wall exhibits that get me really excited to be a part of Spanish culture.
And if you like the area, you don’t have to fight the crowds. Just rent a villa in the nearby town of Marbella. It’s beautiful, it’s close to the action, and its private. Perfect!
Never Have I Ever…Gone Canyoning in Gran Canaria
If you’re like me, you’ll appreciate the rush of an adrenaline tour. That’s why, when I hear about visiting the Canaries, I’m always salivating to go canyoning.
Canyoning, for those who don’t know, is an exciting rush, travelling through the canyon river, abseiling, swimming, and even a couple cliff jumps. Gran Canaria may be known for its beaches, but I’ll be there one day for the thrill of it. Can’t wait!
There’s a LOT of “Never Have I Ever”s for Spain. There’s a lot to see and do. If you’ve put your hand up for any one of these, I hope that you get the chance to experience it. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime trip.
