The Michigan men's basketball team departs for Spain on Friday. Though the team has not made public its full itinerary, we know the Wolverines will play three games. They will tour the major plazas in Madrid and big-time soccer stadiums. They will visit La Sagrada Familia, a church in Barcelona designed by famous architect Antoni Gaudi. They will take day trips and taste the local cuisine.
MLive will chronicle the 10-day visit in person. In advance of the trip, here is what Spain is known for.
Bullfighting
If you were hoping to see how the Wolverines match up against the bulls, you may be disappointed.
