Spanish people are fabulously passionate about their country and their lives, and who can blame them when it is a country of such wonderfully flavourful food, wild landscapes, and with music in it’s soul. Land of the siesta, daily life in Spain moves slowly and runs late. Many travelers can get frustrated by the limited store hours and seemingly laid back pace of life. But it’s this Spanish perspective — move slowly, enjoy yourself, eat well, and relax — which gives the country so much character. Spain is a beautiful, interesting, and dynamic country with a lot of regional uniqueness and variety. Madrid and Barcelona are hip and energetic cities, Granada has a Moorish touch, Basque Country up north contrast itself to Southern living. The Spaniards love visitors, hosting strangers, drinking good wine, laughing at a good meal, and enjoying life. A fiery, passionate place, this country will stay with you forever.
