Y Viva Espaa 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 America literature, but these are all clichs. 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 Velzquez, Francisco Goya, Salvador Dal, and the prolific Pablo Picasso. Visit the Prado, in Madrid, for works by El Greco, Velzquez, Bartolom Estban 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. Madrid Madrid : The capital of Spain lies in the middle of the Castillian plain, 646 metres above sea level.

Las Golondrinas : Take a boat trip around the port and coastal area of Barcelona and see the city from another angle. Barcelona Attractions Barcelona Aquarium : Barcelona's Oceanarium is a synthesis of the Mediterranean sea.

Valencia's Holy Grail, one of a dozen claimed to be the original, was used by Pope John Paul II during the 1992 Papal visit to Valencia.

Galicia : The tourist guide of Galicia is mainly in Spanish, though it does have some English sections. Malaga Web : Between the sea and the sierra, this part of Eastern Andalucia is well visited by tourists to the beaches of the Costa del Sol. Palma : They call Mallorca the Island of tranquillity; or isle of light and beauty. I guess the lights are from the discos, and the beauty the half naked girls. Anyway, outside of rave season the island does get some of it's tranquillity back. Pamplona : There is more to Pamplona than the running of the bulls.

Costa Blanca Tourism : The Provincial Tourist Board of the Costa Blanca is an autonomous organisation, part of the Alicante Provincial Council. Balearic Islands The main islands are Mallorca and Ibiza but the smaller Menorca and Formentera shouldn't be overlooked if you want something a little quieter. Menorca Attractions Menorca is a vast open-air museum with a wealth of diverse historical monuments. Of particular note are the Paleo-Christian basilicas and monuments from the Talayotic culture. Formentera Attractions Crystal clear waters and fine sands blend in with an atmosphere of relaxation and tranquillity to make a visit to Formentera an attractive option to get away from it all. Ibiza Ibiza is now world famous. What many don't know, is that beyond the glittering club scene and the never-ending parties, there is one of the most beautiful islands in the Mediterranean just waiting to be discovered.
