A COUNTRY WITH AN EVENTFUL PAST
Spain offers more than delicious paella and fiery Flamenco. The landscape is particularly impressive: Desert next to lush vegetation; wide open flat lands with their famous wind mills; bizarre, craggy mountains; stony arid areas and bubbling brooks; 3000 metre high mountains right next to the sea; wild, rocky shores and flat sandy beaches; the Mediterranean and the Atlantic oceans. Spain is a country of great scenic charm, with many ancient cultural treasures. The struggle between Moors and Christians for dominance over the Iberian Peninsula, lasting for hundreds of years, has decidedly influenced culture and the arts. Today, Spain is a modern country which, after its isolation during the Franco era, has turned towards Europe while still maintaining its pride and cultural heritage. Spain, occupying half a million square kilometres of the European continent, offers enormous regional diversity, which is there for you to discover. As a former world power, Spain has left its traces all over the globe, and after English, Spanish is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world.
