Sports played in Spain

Soccer is the most played sport in Spain. Spain is known for "La Liga", the Spanish League. This league is considered to be one of the world's best competitions. Successful teams like FC Barcelona and Real Madrid participate in this competition.Other popular sports include basketball, tennis, cycling. We couldn't call our trip a vacation if we didn't go to a soccer match, so we did. We went to the Mestalla Stadium located in Valencia. That day, Valencia CF had to face Atletico de Madrid. Exciting match that resulted in 3-2, Atletico de Madrid won.
