If it seems like everyone you know is in Spain right now, there's certainly data to back that up. Spain saw 85% of its international tourists back in April, and I expect that number to be higher in May. If you'd like to push back that trip to avoid the crowds, our off-season guide to the Balearics can help you plan your trip.

Headed to Spain?

The small German town hosts the production every 10 years
Nearly 400 years ago, the German town of Oberammergau made a promise to host a Passion Play to fend off the plague. The production involves nearly everyone in town and draws in spectators from around the world.

Madrid and Barcelona also have convents that sell pastries – so it's worth researching if you're headed to Spain for a memorable experience (and a belly full of delicious treats). – Melissa Yeager, Senior News Editor
