Spain
Spain [1] (Spanish: Espa?a) is a diverse country
in Mediterranean Europe, sharing the Iberian Peninsula with
Portugal at the western end of the Mediterranean Sea. Among
many places, Spain is the home of the thriving capital Madrid,
the vibrant coastal city of Barcelona, the famous running with
the bulls at Pamplona, and the city where flamenco was born:
Sevilla.

- Catalonia (Spanish: Catalu?a, Catalan:
Catalunya) Catalonia is the one of the most visited regions
of Spain, thanks to Barcelona, a nice city full of modernist
buildings, interesting parks and a great choice of leisure
and cultural activities. Catalonia also possesses an incomparable
coast: in the southern part you may find a few excellent beaches
despite the huge resorts built in recent times, and an always
sunny weather; in the northern part, the coast gives a much
more authentic sensation, with beautiful beaches and impressive
cliffs. Gastronomy is interesting also, being regarded as
one of the finest in the world, offering exquisite dishes
such as the Catalan cream, the bread with tomato (pan con
ttumaca), the Catalan champaign (cava)...
- Ceuta
- Extremadura
- Galicia (Spanish: Galicia, Galician:
Galiza)

- Madrid - the region includes the
second, fourth and current capital of Spain Madrid with three

and Aranjuez, the Escorial,Salamanca, Segovia, Toledo, and
the Valle de los Caidos are also nearby

Spain is now divided into autonom?as or autonomous regions/cities.
Some of the autonom?as - notably the ones with languages other
than Spanish as co-official (Basque Country or Euskadi -Basque
language-, Galicia -Galician language-, Catalonia or Catalunya,
Valencian Country or Pa?s Valenci?, and Balearic Islands or Illes
Balears -Catalan language-) and Andaluc?a - are historical regions.
Travelers to these parts of the Iberian Peninsula will do well
to respect their history and language. The Canary Islands are
actually off the coast of Morocco and are properly in Africa and
so are the two Autonomous cities: Ceuta and Melilla.
