Famous for the sun, sea, beaches and tapas.
But surely as popular for it's culture, history and beautiful
countryside...
An unique destination, due to its rich history and
cultural heritage, diverse landscape and varied gastronomy.
Here you will find green, hilly country side with pastures and
small fishing harbours to the mountains with permanent snow, like
the Sierra Nevada or the Pyrenees. From the steep rocky coast to the
busy beaches of the Costa's, from the worldly towns to the small
middle ages villages inland.
The diversity and the contrasts which characterize Spain can also
been seen in the culture. The country is strewn with interesting
cultural sights, each with it's own influences: Celtic, Iberian,
Greek-Roman, Moors.
The Spanish people enjoy a lively culture, with it's many
folk festivals and in the music and dance (think of the "Flamenco"
in Andalusia or the somewhat gentler Sardana in Cataluña), each
region with it's own festivals and customs. On top of which Spain
has excellent cuisine: olives & olive oil, tapas, fish and shell
fish paella, wine, sherry and above all a many sided local
gastronomy.
