Santiago de Compostela

Spain is famous for its friendly inhabitants, relaxed lifestyle, its cuisine, vibrant nightlife, and world-famous folklore and festivities, and its history as the core of the vast Spanish Empire. The most popular beaches are the ones along the Mediterranean coast and on the Canary Islands. Meanwhile, for hiking, the mountains of Sierra Nevada in the south, the Central Cordillera and the northern Pyrenees are the best places. Historically, Spain has been an important crossroads: between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, between North Africa and Europe, and as Europe began colonizing the New World, between Europe and the Americas. As such, the country is blessed with a fantastic collection of historical landmarks. The Spanish are very passionate about their cuisine, based on great food and wine. Spanish food can be described as quite light with a lot of vegetables and a huge variety of meat and fish.

Spain

Despite its isolation, it quickly entered history when the Romans discovered its mineral-rich lands. It has been able to preserve a strong identity that is reflected first and foremost in its own language – Galician. This remote zone has had no choice but to turn to the ocean early on, and the influence of the sea is reflected in its economy, focused on fishing, in the typical fishing villages that adorn its coasts, and on a cuisine rich in prawns and scallops.
