Spain: Travellers' Tales from Spain
|
|
I hope you enjoy these travelogues from Spain (in which I'm including the Balearic Islands).
Spain is a country of some 505 square kilometres. There are 19 autonomous communities including Balearic Islands and Canary Islands, and three small Spanish possessions off the coast of Morocco - Islas Chafarinas, Penon de Alhucemas, and Penon de Velez de la Gomera, with a population of something over 40 million, 94% of which are of the Roman Catholic faith.

|
|
Spaniards seem rarely to need much of a reason for a fiesta or festival of some sort and you can pretty much guarantee that wherever you are in Spain there will be some merrymaking going on somewhere in honour of a patron saint – I’ve decided to look at some of Spain’s quirkier, slightly less known festivals and enlighten readers as to some of the stranger practices which take place at various times around the country.

Everybody who has visited Spain and more in particular Valencia must have heard of the famous Paella a la Valenciana. But I think most people don’t know where the paella comes from and what it means.

Spain: Mallorca, Spain - A Jewel In The Sun by: Matthew Crist

Mallorca – the largest of Spain’s Balearic Islands – offers a wide range of scenery, from fertile plains to mountain peaks plus culture. Great shopping and gorgeous beaches complete the picture. It is easy to see why it is such a very popular European holiday destination. Mallorca airport is modern, efficient and huge – it is a long way from the gate to the baggage claim!
