| SPAIN |
|
| Positioned between Europe and Africa, Spain is the land of wine and olives, the flamenco, beautiful storybook castles, bullfights, rich cultural traditions and people with a contagious zest for life. No other country in Europe can boast such a range of contrasting natural attractions and cultures. |
|
| Nowhere is the diversity more evident than in the rich, bustling cosmopolitan cities. Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia and Seville are dotted with some of the grandest museums and galleries in Europe, contrasted with a vibrant nightlife. If you can muster up the stamina after a day's exploring, you can eat, drink and party all night at the bars and restaurants that remain open till dawn. |
|
| Spain's currency is the Euro. Spain is three and half hours behind India in summer and four and half hours in winter. Spanish is spoken throughout, although regional variations can be significant. Catalan, with its elements of French and Spanish and its own unique charm, is spoken in Barcelona. |
