if you don't speak spanish or even spanish in their dialect they sometimes are rude to you. depends on the area
learning the language would be fun
go to a theatre
see a bullfight
go to nice restaurants
see flamenco dancing
those are the only things i can think of right now

just remember they lisp EVERYTHING. sry for caps. but its true. they dont say bar-say-lon-a, they say bar-they-lon-a. just don't laugh at them when it happens. according to my spanish teacher thats very offensive to make fun of a spanish person for talking like that. haha

my teacher just does it to poke fun at the people who actually do it
not all spanish people do though, it's just a concentrated area in which the spanish dialect is spoken in a sort of lisp manner where the "s" and "z" are said as sort of a "th" instead of the "s" sounds if that made any sense
