Informative Brochure about Spain
Spain, country located in extreme southwestern Europe. It occupies about 85 percent of the Iberian Peninsula, which it shares with its smaller neighbour Portugal.Madrid is Spain’s largest city and is also its financial and cultural centre, as it has been for hundreds of years.
The Andalusian capital of Sevilla (Seville) is famed for its musical culture and traditional folkways; the Catalonian capital of Barcelona for its secular architecture and maritime industry; and the national capital of Madrid for its winding streets, its museums and bookstores, and its around-the-clock lifestyle.
The country is geographically and culturally diverse. Its heartland is the Meseta a broad central pleteau half a mile above sea level.
Spain’s countryside is quaint, speckled with castles, aqueducts, and ancient ruins, but its cities are resoundingly modern.
We already have general and commercial ideas about Spain, but behind these are layers of history, tradition, and culture that have shaped the country and continue to do so today.
