Of Soul Stirring Landscapes and Old Ruins, Tapas, Fiestas and Flamencos

Spain is a country of contrasts with different languages and traditions and shares its borders with Portugal. Spain is also about stone castles, snow- capped mountains, historical monuments and beautiful cities. One of the few places which cradled the great civilizations and thus hold the ruins of Roman, Islamic and other empires that once flourished here. Rich and diverse, you really can’t have enough of the Anda Lucia or Sierra Nevada or cliffs of Atlantic Northwest or the serenity of the Mediterranean shores. For a country so steeped in the past, Spaniards love to frolic and enjoy the fiestas and join with the flamenco dancers. Life is good with a bottle of wine and delightful Spanish tapas.
