An Overview
The momentous warmth and consistency of the weather has been attracting British
and other northern migrants for decades, but Spain is so much more than
the Costa del Sol, donkey souvenirs, castanets, Irish pubs and cheap beer.
Spain is steeped in the historical pageantry of empire and conquistadors, the
artistic legacy of Goya, Velázquez, Picasso and Dalí, and the romance of Don
Quijote, Papa Hemingway and the International Brigades.e than the Costa del
Sol, donkey souvenirs, castanets, Irish pubs and cheap beer.
With a population of 40.5 million (growth rate 0.1%) and covering an area of
some 504,784 sq km, the Kingdom of Spain is populated by a complex of
inhabitants: Spaniards, Catalans and Basques – all displaying a unique and fierce
independent spirit.
With Madrid (population 3 million) as it’s capital city language is predominantly
Castilian Spanish with Catalan, Galician & Basque as strong and disparate dialectics.
1 hour ahead of Britain in the winter and two hours in summer leading industries
in Spain include: textiles & apparel, food & beverages, metals, chemicals, shipbuilding,
tourism. Its major trading partners are the EU (esp. France, Germany, Italy,
Portugal, UK, Benelux).
Old mixes with new in cities such as Toledo, Barcelona, Salamanca, and the
capital Madrid, as celebrated museums, galleries and Baroque churches rub shoulders
with blaring bars and thumping discos.
Active Vacation
From the Mediterranean Sea to the Bay of Biscay, Spain enjoys more than 450
kilometres of mountains and valleys, rivers, lakes, rocky areas and trails.
This area, known as the Pyrnees Mountains, is an excellent location for
active vacations and water sports. Like climbing and walking? Between the Gulf
of Vizcaya and the Gulf of Roses, there are dozens of dazzling peaks
which in some areas reach 3,000 meters, creating a natural border separating
France, Spain and Andorra. Today, this succession of mountains has become the
meeting point for lovers of hiking, rock climbing, paragliding, river trips,
bicycle routes, caving, canyoning, and other sporting activities.
Art Cities
Not only important to Spain but also to the entire world, the Museo Nacional
del Prado (Madrid) houses one of the most pictorial collections of this
artistic facet. The acquisitions originate from purchases, donations, legacies,
and public subscriptions. Sites worth a visit: Museo Guggenheim (Bilbao) Museo
Nacional de Arte Romano de Mérida (Mérida) Patio Herreriano". Museo de Arte
Contemporáneo Español (Valladolid) Teatro Museo Dalí (Figueres)
Food & Wine
What will never change is the Spaniards’ passion for partying. Snack on tapas
as you skip from bar to bar, before heading off to enjoy Spain’s infamous nightlife.
Then revitalise the senses – Spain’s cultural heritage brims with flamenco,
painting, opera, literature, sport, bullfighting and flamboyant, colourful fiestas.
Alternative Vacation
On the one hand there’s the natural treasures of the Galician and Cantabrian
coasts, then there are dazzling riches of northwestern Spain, the Atlantic and
Cantabrian coasts. With an unusual maritime attractiveness, Galicia, Asturias,
Cantabria and the Basque Country possess the perfect combination of sea, valley
and mountain, intermingling again and again to create an intoxicating show of
contrasts. Sites and sounds include: Parque nacional de las Islas Atlánticas
, Parque Natural del Monte Aloya, Parque Nacional de los Picos de Europa, Parque
Natural de Oyambre. Parque Natural de Peña Cabarga.
