Spain
Spain, a country on Europe’s Iberian Peninsula, includes 17 autonomous regions with diverse geography and cultures. Known for its rich history marked by the Roman Empire, the Moors, and the Spanish Empire, Spain is a country of stone castles, snowcapped mountains, vast monuments, and sophisticated cities. It has deeply influenced global culture with its traditions, language, and arts, being the birthplace of flamenco and the home of world-renowned artists like Picasso and Dalí. The vibrant life, festivals, and cuisine (think paella and tapas) reflect the Spanish zest for life. The name Spain derives from the Roman name Hispania, which covered the entire peninsula.
