About:
Geographically separated from continental Europe by the Pyrenees, Spain is one of the oldest inhabited regions on the planet.
Colonized, invaded and ruled by many cultures over the centuries, its survived its share of military dictatorships and internal war to become one of the major players on the world stage.
Spain's powerful world empire of the 16th and 17th centuries ultimately yielded command of the seas to England. Subsequent failure to embrace the mercantile and industrial revolutions caused the country to fall behind Britain, France, and Germany in economic and political power.
Spain remained neutral in World Wars I and II, but suffered through a devastating civil war (1936-39). A peaceful transition to democracy following the death of dictator Francisco FRANCO in 1975, and rapid economic modernization (Spain joined the EU in 1986), have given Spain one of the most dynamic economies in Europe and made it a global champion of freedom.
Continuing challenges include Basque Fatherland and Liberty (ETA) terrorism and relatively high unemployment.
Spain is famous for bullfights, the resorts of the Costa del Sol, flamenco dancing, great food and weather, museums, the stylish cities of Barcelona and Madrid, a wide variety of wines, and of course...the friendly, gregarious Spanish people.
Spain, justifiably so, enjoys a very positive reputation with worldwide travelers, and is one of (if not the) most visited country.
