Spain tourism best places

First of all i wanna say welcome to you all in my blog, my goal is to try to give you best information about the amazing places u would love to visit in the world, today i will talk about Spain .

Spain (pronounced /ˈspeɪn spayn; Spanish: España, officially the Kingdom of Spain (Spanish:Reino de España),
An over view :it is a country and member state of the European Union located in southwestern Europe on the Iberian Peninsula.Its mainland is bordered to the south and east by the Mediterranean Sea except for a small land boundary with the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar; to the north by France, Andorra, and the Bay of Biscay; and to the northwest and west by the Atlantic Ocean and Portugal.

My friends let me talk at first about the geography and the amazing nature which u will really enjoy there,
The city of San Sebastián in Guipúzcoa

Spain has great amazing nature,geography , i will give you a lot of examples here
Teide, the highest mountain in Spain (Tenerife, Canary Islands)




On the west, Spain borders Portugal; on the south, it borders Gibraltar (a British overseas territory) and Morocco, through its exclaves in North Africa (Ceuta, Melilla, and Peñón de Vélez de la Gomera). On the northeast, along the Pyrenees mountain range, it borders France and the tiny principality of Andorra.
you can enjoy visiting this place and take picture for memories :)
Spain  includes the Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean Sea too, the Canary Islands in the Atlantic Ocean and a number of uninhabited islands on the Mediterranean side of the Strait of Gibraltar, known as Plazas de soberanía, such as the Chafarine islands, the isle of Alborán,Alhucemas, and the tiny Isla Perejil. Along the Pyrenees in Catalonia, a small exclave town called Llívia is surrounded by France. The littlePheasant Island in the River Bidasoa is a Spanish-French condominium.
Mainland Spain is dominated by high plateaus and mountain ranges, such as the Sierra Nevada. Running from these heights are several major rivers such as the Tagus, the Ebro, the Duero, the Guadiana and the Guadalquivir. Alluvial plains are found along the coast, the largest of which is that of the Guadalquivir in Andalusia.





Climate in Spain

As a result for  Spain's geographical situation and orographic conditions, the climate is extremely diverse,discounting the mountain climate, it can be roughly divided into five areas

Spain's climatic areas (except Canary Islands)
  • A Continental Mediterranean climate in the inland areas of the Peninsula (largest city, Madrid).
  • An Oceanic climate in Galicia and the coastal strip near the Bay of Biscay or (largest city, Bilbao). This area is often called Green Spain.
  • A Semiarid climate or arid Mediterranean in the southeast (largest city, Murcia).
  • A Mediterranean climate region extends from the Andalusian plain along the southern and eastern coasts up to the Pyrenees, on the seaward side of the mountain ranges that run near the coast. Also in Ceuta and Melilla (largest city,Barcelona).
  • A Subtropical climate in the Canary Islands and some areas in the coast of Granada and Málaga (largest cities, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Motril).
The rain in Spain does not fall mainly in the plain. It falls mainly in the northern mountains.

now , let us see the amazing places there, and then the ancient places  .

I can tell u Spain is known for its culturally diverse heritage, having been influenced by many nations and peoples throughout its history. Spanish culture has its origins in the Iberian, Celtiberian, Latin, Visigothic, Roman Catholic, and Islamic cultures.
here is an overview for some nice cities you can visit there.

I would like to talk now about the museums ,Architecture ,and Art

Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao
Artists from Spain have been highly influential in the development of various European artistic movements. Due to historical, geographical and generational diversity, Spanish art has known a great number of influences. The Moorish heritage in Spain, especially in Andalusia, is still evident today in cities like Córdoba, Seville, and Granada. European influences include Italy, Germany and France, especially during theBaroque and Neoclassical periods.

Auditorio de Tenerife in Santa Cruz de Tenerife

Spanish architecture refers to architecture carried out during any era in what is now modern-day Spain, and by Spanish architects worldwide. The term includes buildings within the current geographical limits of Spain before this name was given to those territories, whether they were calledHispania, Al-Andalus, or were formed of several Christian kingdom
The Plaza de Cibeles in Madrid

Due to its historical and geographical diversity, Spanish architecture has drawn from a host of influences. An important provincial city founded by the Romans and with an extensive Roman erainfrastructure, Córdoba became the cultural capital, including fine Arabic style architecture, during the time of the Islamic Umayyad dynasty.Later Arab style architecture continued to be developed under successive Islamic dynasties, ending with the Nasrid, which built its famed palace complex in Granada.
