There will be a lot of leisure activities - indoors and outdoors - for sure! It will be better if you explore Spain with the locals for a more immersive experience - join a group tour or hire a private tourist guide if you have the budget, or you can just travel and schedule a road trip with your (new) Spanish friend(s)!
