00:52 whether it be a gothic cathedral designed by Antoni Gaudi or a relaxing beach.
00:58 Sometimes the Majorca Live Festival also takes place in the spring, which is an international
01:03 music festival spanning different genres, including electronic, indie, and pop.
01:08 Spring is a great time to visit Utah's national parks, including Arches, Zion,

01:25 George, which provide plenty of urban and nature-based excursions that are perfect for
01:30 the springtime weather. Bermuda is an archipelago with an abundance of activities for both families
01:39 and couples, from relaxing on the pink sand beaches of Horseshoe Bay to biking along its

01:50 means you can participate in these activities without the crowds and for a fraction of the cost.
01:55 Louisville, Kentucky is famous for the Kentucky Derby, which always happens on the first weekend
02:03 of May. But even if you're not interested in betting on racehorses or sporting derby fashion,
02:09 spring is a particularly beautiful time to learn about the makings of bourbon by visiting
02:13 the distilleries on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail. New Orleans is a year-round destination for music
02:22 lovers, but spring poses an especially fun opportunity for jazz enthusiasts. The annual
