Whilst <a href="http://www.ulookubook.com/hotels/spain/majorca">Majorca hotels</a> are just the ticket for a relaxing, sun soaked holiday, they're also great for trying your hand at a few Spanish traditions. From hot footing it with the Flamenco to learning to cook your very own tapas, make this Majorca holiday one to remember by absorbing yourself into the local culture and traditions.
Skip the meals at your <a href="http://www.ulookubook.com/hotels/spain/majorca">Majorca hotels</a> to learn the art of Spanish cuisine, with a Spanish cooking class. Known for its quality local dishes and produce, the setting of Majorca couldn't be more ideal to try your hand at making a paella, tapas or general Mediterranean dishes.
Spain is fiercely proud of its bullfighting tradition, and The Placa de Toros is the place for bull fights not only in Majorca, but the whole of Spain. Take your seats as you watch the beautifully dressed matador challenge a bull with terrifying results. This is not an activity for the faint hearted and many people oppose this 'sport', citing it as cruel to the animal.
For a downright sexy style of dance, why not try your hand at flamenco. Instead of sitting back and watching the professionals at work, why not strap on your heels and try it for yourself, with its haunting music, stunning dancers and sexy moves. Majorca has a range of classes available, which are perfect for all types of dancers, where you'll learn the basic hand and arm movements, body posture, clapping, footwork and tapping.
Of course there is one Spanish tradition that doesn't require any work, unless you count heading back to your hotels in Majorca. The siesta, a 2-4 hour break in the afternoon, is centuries old and traditionally saw shops, bars, restaurants, schools and offices close between 2-5pm to allow workers the chance to go home, have a snooze and escape the beating down sun.
