Spain Travel

Spain Geography History Politics Culture Transportation Lodging Restaurants Museums and Monuments Nightlife Currency 1. Geography Spain lies in the extreme southwest of Europe, between latitude 36* and 44* north and betweenlongitude 9* west and 5* east. It is bounded by France and the tiny state of Andorra on the west and northwest by Portugal and on the south by the British territory of Gibralter, which is claimed by Spain. The Atlantic ocean is to Spain's north (Bay of Biscay), northwest and southwest (Gulf of Cadiz) to the west of the Straits of Gibralter, only 14 km/9 miles wide, which separate Europe from Africa. The entire eastern and southeastern Spain is bounded by the Mediterranean. Also, part of Spain are the BalearicIslands (Majorca, Minorca, Ibiza, Formentera and various smaller islands), which lie off the Mediterraneancoast and the Canary Islands (the largest of which are Gran Canaria and Tenerife) off the northwest coast of Africa. The towns of Ceuta and Melilla on the North African mainland and the three small islands ofPenonde Velez, Alhucemas and Chafarinas off the Moroccan coast also belong to Spain (but are claimed by Morocco). The Straits of Gibralter link Spain with Africa. In addition, the Pyrenees in the north have been both geographically and historically, a barrier between Spain and the rest of Europe. Spain lies predominately within the zone of the Mediterranean climate which is characterized by hot,dry summers and mild, wet winters. When to Visit Spain The best time of year to come is in the Spring and Autumn from about mid-March to the beginning of June and from the beginning of September to the beginning of November (in Northern Spain to the beginningof October). 2. History SPAIN AS A WORLD POWER TO THE PENINSULAR WAR (1516-1813): Spain rises to international importance in the 16th century in expansion of its territory in Europeand colonies and is the Center of Counter Reformation. 1618-1648: Spain takes part in the Thirty Years' War on the side of the Austrian Habsburgs. 1640: Portugal dissolves its union with Spain. FROM THE FIRST WORLD WAR TO THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE SECOND REPUBLIC (1914-1931): 1914-1919: Spain remains neutral in the First World War. 1926: Spain leaves the League of Nations. 1928: Spain is readmitted into the League of Nations. 1931: After a Republican victory in local government elections, Alfonso XIII leaves the country. It's the beginning of the Second Republic. FROM THE SECOND REPUBLIC TO APPLIED ASSOCIATION WITH THE UN (1931-1962): Because various European democracies would not help the new Spanish Republic, not even the SovietUnion believed that Spain was ready for a social revolution. The Republican forces are defeated by the Fascist dictatorship of General Franco with the support from Hitler and Mussolini. After the Second World War, the Franco regime is unable to lead Spain out of its political and economic isolation. Only after Franco's death does liberalization and democratization appear in the country. 1931: Spain receives a new constitution: liberal and progressive in its provisions, separationof church and state, a unified state, regional self-government for Catalonia (1932) and the Basque country(1936) and a limited degree of land reform. 1936-1939: The Spanish Civil War breaks out after the murder of a Monarchist member of Parliament, Calvo Sotelo on July 13 and a military rising on July 17 led by General Francisco y Bahamonde (1892-1975) in Spanish Morocco. 1939: Recognition of Franco's Regime by France, Britain (February 27) and US (April 1). CivilWar comes to an end. Spain leaves the League of Nations. From 1945: Spain is politically and economically isolated as a result of Franco'sauthoritarian regime. It is not a founding member of the United Nations and receives no aid under the MarshallPlan. 1955: Spain becomes a member of the UN. 1959-1960: Spain becomes a member of the OEEC and OECD. 1962: Spain applies for association with the European Community. DEMOCRATIC SPAIN (from 1975-1992): After Franco's death, King Juan Carlos I begins the process of democratization, which continues inspite of attempted coups. Spain becomes a full member of the democratic community of states. 1978: Spain joins the Council of Europe on February 24. 1980: A law of freedom of religion comes into force: Catholicism is no longer the State religion. 1982: Spain becomes the 16th member of NATO on May 30. 1986: Spain joins the European Community on January 1. 1989: Spain takes over the presidency of the European Community. 1992: On July 25, the Summer Olympic Games of modern times are opened in Barcelona. 3. Politics The Constitution: The constitution which came into force in December 1978 makes Spain a parliamentary monarchy committed to the principles of a democratic social state founded on law. The King as head of State has the duties of watching over the government and representing Spain in its relations with other nations. Moreover, he is the supreme commander of the armed forces. The constitution contains a code of basicrights, the establishment of the social state, the assurance of security under the law, the recognition of the role of the parties in developing an informed political opinion, the right to refuse military service, the abolition of the death penalty (except under military law) and the end of Roman Catholicism as the statereligion. Coat of Arms: The flag of Spain is red and yellow, which has been the Spanish colors since medieval times. The coat of arms consists of a shield of four quarters bearing the emblems of Castile, Leon, Aragon, Navarre and Granada. The shield is flanked by the "Pillars of Hercules," which in ancient tradition market the end of the world and are usually identified as the Straits of Gibralter. Along with the motto, "Plus ultra" on an encircling ribbon, they symbolize the history of Spain as a world and maritime power. Parliament: The Spanish Parliament is the Cortes Generales, with two houses, the Congress de los Diputados (Congress of Deputies) and the Senate. The Congress is elected every four years and has a minimum of 300 members anda maximum of 400 members. The electoral system is a melange of direct election and proportional representaion. The deputies elect the prime minister, who is then appointed by the King. A special feature of the parliamentary system is that the prime minister can be voted out of office by the Congress only ifthey elect a successor at the same time. The Senate prepresents the Autonomous Communities (regions), which consist of one or moreprovinces. Each province elects four senators and in addition the parliaments of the autonomouscommunitites elect one senator each, plus additional senators for each million inhabitants. The Senate hasa right to veto on the government. International Relations: Spain has been a member of the UN since 1955, of NATO since 1982 and the European Communitysince 1986.
