Background |
|
Spain
is a diverse country sharing the
Iberian
Peninsula with
Portugal at the
western end of the Mediterranean Sea. It's the second country with the
largest number of
UNESCO World Heritage Sites
after Italy, and the first with the largest number of
World Heritage Cities
also by the UNESCO. Spain is seen as a exotic country in Europe due to
its friendly inhabitants, its relaxed lifestyle, its mostly warm
weather (compared to other European regions) and especially by its
cuisine, the vibrant nightlife, and its world-famous folklore and
festivities. Among many places worth visiting are Spain's thriving
capital
Madrid, the
vibrant coastal city of
Barcelona, the
famous "Running of the Bulls" at
Pamplona, major
andalusian cities with moorish architecture, like
Seville,
Granada and
Córdoba, the
Way of St. James
and the paradisiacal
Balearic Islands
and
Canary Islands.
