One of the places I've always wanted to visit is SPAIN, mostly Barcelona. I just found it so fresh, beautiful, and interesting and it would be amazing to have the chance and go there any time in the future. Doing this research help me found and know some interesting facts about Spain. Now let’s share them with you guys, maybe you’ll love it too and would want to go…
Did you know that Spain is one of the fifty largest countries in the world!? I didn’t know and it is amazing, at least for me it is; Spain covers an area of 505,955 square kilometers. As a result of its location the climate ranges from the mild oceanic climate in the North, to the continental Mediterranean in the Centre and the Mediterranean in the East and South, factors that combine to create a wet Spain in the North and mountainous areas, green Spain with luxuriant forests and a dry Spain in the Mediterranean. In talking about this country geographically one of the aspects I did like and would love to visit is the “luxuriant forests”, it should be beautiful getting into those places, getting in touch with nature.
Getting into more fun facts, I started researching more about the culture and their traditions. One of the books mentions that all of Spain festive traditions come from religious beliefs and origins. What’s interesting about this is that it mentions that you could see in their expressions and folklore how they combine religious fervor and pagan in festive commemorations. The most important traditional celebration in Spain is Easter week. This takes place at the end of March or April, and takes place among vivid and extremely moving popular processions. The greatest number of festive events takes place in the summer months, between June and September, according to the geographic area, as they tend to combine both religious and socio-economic aspects.
When I continued reading and doing my research, I found that Spanish art constitutes one of the most important cultural heritages of the world. I was amazed by these facts since it seems that Spain really is an important country from all around the world; actually there has been people from Spain being awarded with a Nobel Prize from amazing work reflecting the folklore and culture from the country.
Spain has lots of libraries and museums through all the territory, having the most important cultural and world treasures. The National Library which is located in Madrid is the most important library and it was inaugurated in 1712, I would love to visit not only The National Library but as many as I can as I love to read and learn from the history and how this places were build and more. Now for all of you who love art, did you know that Spain has over 1,400 museums?! The famous one is Museo del Prado and like the others museums it held valuable, antique and significant paints and artifacts.
Doing this research was very interesting and I invite you guys to know more about beautiful Spain because you could found and see how many amazing cultural places they have for you to visit. I hope one day I could actually visit this country, don’t worry because if I do I will tell you all about it and more lol.
