There are 17 Spanish regions, each with its own
distinct cultures and traditions. For example, in
the south is Andalucía, with flamenco dancing
and traces of Moorish influences.
SPANISH CITIES
The majority of Spanish people live in
towns and cities. Madrid is the largest
Spanish city and the capital of Spain.
Tourists flock to Barcelona, capital
of Catalonia and a leading cultural,
economic, and industrial hub. Bilbao,
home to the magnificent Guggenheim
Museum, is the capital of the Basque
region and a busy port.
FIESTAS
In Spain, many towns hold their own fiestas,
or festivals, to celebrate a special event in their
history or the birthday of their patron saint.
These fiestas differ from one region to another.
One of the most famous is held in Pamplona,
where the brave run with the bulls.
HOLY WEEK
Easter in Spain is marked by
solemn celebrations, known as
the Holy Week processions. These
processions vary according to the
region, but generally, men wear
robes and hoods and carry heavy
crosses to show penitence.
COASTAL RESORTS
Every year, millions of northern
Europeans head south for the beaches
of southern Spain and Portugal, or for
the Spanish Balearic Islands. They are
attracted by the warm climate as well
as affordable hotels and restaurants.
Flamenco dancing was
created by the gitanos
(Romani people) of
Andalucía and dates back
to the 15th century.
The Guggenheim, a modern art
museum in Bilbao
The Pamplona bull run
is an annual fiesta that
takes place in July.
