Spain is one of the most beautiful countries in the southern part of Europe spreading over Peninsular Spain that is sited between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, each being home to an archipelago and a North African city. Spain is not only the flamenco dancers, the stunning beaches and the popular bullfights. It’s a fascinating country featuring rich diversities, the north bearing similar-looking undulating luxuriant hills of Ireland whereas the south gives you a feel of the Morrocan architectural brilliances and breathtaking views. Its glorious history is embodied in its ancient cave paintings, magnificent Moorish palaces, collapsing castles, Renaissance and Gothic cathedrals, historic Roman ruins and numerous other exclusive specimens of contemporary architectural approaches.
