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 distinctive
modern architecture. The uniqueness of Spain lies in the separate
kingdoms which made up the original Spanish nation. These regions
remain diverse in their language, culture, cuisine and art.

Beaches:
Excellent and quiet beaches can be found near Malaga, Huelva and
Almería in the south as well as near the coasts of La Manga,
Galicia, Asturias, Cantabria and Euskadi. If you do enjoy extremely
developed resort towns, there are plenty of crowded beaches on the
Costa de la Luz and the Costa del Sol. Interesting is the harbour of
Almerimar with cosy bars, just south of El Ejido (Almeria).
Very unique architecture can be found in Córdoba, Salamanca,
Granada, Toledo, Madrid... The visionary architecture of Antoni
Gaudí and the Picasso museum are in Barcelona while Madrid is home
to Spain’s top three art museums.
Country sides:
If you would rather get some fresh air, Spain is filled with
opportunities to visit wildlife parks as well as trekking. The
Pyrenees, especially around the Aragón area, are the best areas for
trekking. Andalucía has its Sierra Nevada mountain chain with
luxurious skiing resorts near Granada. Ski-sports are possible from
November up to May. Between Guadix and Baza (famous horse market)
one can find cave-dwellings, cave hotels, and beautiful natural
parks. North and between these towns still are unexplored desert
sceneries, with hamlets not even found on maps! The highway
infrastructure in this "wild" part of Andalucia is excellent.
Social culture:
Spanish people are very open-hearted and communicative. You won't
have any problems to get to know someone, especially in the big
cities like Madrid or Barcelona. It's often said that the Spanish
living room is the bar where the people usually spend a lot of time
in the mornings and in the evenings. |
