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.
