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 unique 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. These regions include: AndalucÃa, Aragon, Asturias, Basque Country, the Balearic Islands, the Canary Islands, Cantabria, Castilla La Mancha, Castilla León, Catalonia, Extremadura, Galicia, La Rioja, Madrid, Murcia, Navarra and Valencia. Areas of interest are not limited to each region, here are some highlights:
Beaches
Excellent and quiet beaches can be found near Cadiz and AlmerÃa 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 modern art and architecture can be found in Malaga and
Madrid. The visionary architecture of Antoni Gaudà and the Picasso
museum are in Barcelona while Madrid is home to Spains top three
art museums.
Countrysides
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. AndalucÃa 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 horsemarket) 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 comunicative. 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.
Linguistic diversity
Not only Spanish is spoken in this country, but four languages and a lot of dialects. In Catalunya on the northern coast to the Mediterranean Sea people speak català ; in Basque Country in the north of Spain people speak euskadi (which isn't even a indoeuropean language); in the west in Galicia is spoken galego and in the rest people normally speak castellano (Spanish).
