The music of Spain forms an essential part of the national culture and identity, and has strongly influenced the development of western music throughout the centuries. This is the birthplace of the guitar and flamenco. Spain offers ensembles the opportunity to play to appreciative audiences, as well as discover some of the richest musical traditions in Europe. On a school music tour to Spain, choirs can perform in magnificent religious buildings, on seaside promenades, or surrounded by dramatic mountains.
