Spain

Spain is more diverse than you could have ever dreamed, a cliché come to life. The varied landscapes of Spain inspire the spirit. Spain is a country obsessed with food and wine, and for good reason. Roman remains that have been battered by the wind, cathedrals of extraordinary power, and unrivaled masterpieces of Islamic architecture testify of a nation where the great civilizations of history have risen, fallen, and left their imprint. Life in Spain is a fiesta, and everyone seems to be invited.
