The Kingdom of Spain is the fourteenth largest economy in the world and was once the leading power and colonial empire in Europe. Spain has suffered its share of wars, invasions, inquisitions, and isolation, contributing to the rich and diverse culture that democratic Spain today represents. Its territory covers the central and eastern Iberian peninsula, which it shares with Portugal. Its territory includes the Balearic and Canary Islands, as well as several other islands and autonomous communities. Its climate is as diverse as its languages, with Spanish classified as the main language and Catalan, Basque and Galician recognized as co-official languages. But Spain's regions also differ in landscape, customs and cuisine; from the Basques who live in the forested, mountainous region on the northern coast, through Castile in central Spain: a land of plains separated by barren ravines, to Andalusia in the south: famous for its bullfights, dances and castagnets. Sandy beaches and dramatic landscapes, friendly people, superb food and a diverse heritage are just a few of many reasons to visit wonderful Spain.
