History
Spain has a rich history dating back thousands of years.
It was once part of the Roman Empire and later came under Moorish rule before the Christian Reconquista in the late 15th century.
During the Age of Exploration, Spain was a major colonial power, with territories in the Americas, Africa, and Asia.
The country went through a turbulent period in the 20th century, including a civil war (1936-1939) and subsequent dictatorship under Francisco Franco until his death in 1975.

With a little planning and resourcefulness, you can create unforgettable memories without touching a credit card.

Enjoy picnics, people-watching, or free cultural events.
Regional Spain
Explore lesser-known destinations like Granada, Seville, or Valencia, which often offer lower accommodation and dining costs compared to major cities.
Y Viva Espana
Spain has been a favourite playground of British, Dutch, and German tourists who escape the dreary climates of their own countries for some summer sun by the sea; with copious quantities of sex and sangria stirred in for good measure. Quite a cocktail for the 18-30 crowd.
For the culturally inclined there is plenty of that too. Hemingway made bullfighting popular in American literature, but these are all cliches.
Of course you'll want to have paella on the coast, and Spain wouldn't be the same without a little flamenco dancing and intricate guitar. After a few days, you'll even be an expert on the castanets yourself.
Several regions in Spain have kept a separate identity, culturally and linguistically. These include the Basques, around the Bay of Biscay; the Galicians, in north-western Spain; and the Catalans, of north-eastern Spain.
The nomadic Spanish Gypsies, Gitanos, are a separate ethnic group.
Spanish Culture
The Roman Catholic religion has played an important part in Spanish life and culture.
Spanish painters have contributed greatly to the global work on display in museums around the world. Among the most famous are El Greco, Diego Velazquez, Francisco Goya, Salvador Dali, and the prolific Pablo Picasso.
Visit the Prado, in Madrid, for works by El Greco, Velazquez, Bartolome Esteban Murillo, Goya, Botticelli, Titian, and Rembrandt.
The National Museum of Modern Art, also in Madrid, concentrates on Spanish painting after 1800.
And of course the new Guggenheim Museum opened in Bilbao on October 18th, 1997. There are 19 galleries in the building; considered something of a work of art in itself.
