Spain is a beautiful and diverse Western European country, sharing the Iberian Peninsula with Portugal at the western end of the Mediterranean Sea. With great beaches, fun nightlife, many cultural regions and historic cities, Spain makes a great destination for any kind of trip.
Spain is more than bullfights, flamenco dancers and crowded beaches. It's a spectacular and diverse country, the north resembling the rolling, green hills of Ireland and the south giving you a taste of Moroccan landscapes and architecture. Its tremendous history is reflected in its prehistoric cave paintings, Moorish palaces, crumbling castles, Roman ruins, Gothic and Renaissance cathedrals as well as some very unique modern architecture.
Once the centre of a global empire with colonies in Central and South America, and the Phillipines, contemporary Spain has overcome civil war and fascism in the 20th century to stand proud and centered in itself. |
