THE Spain is a country in the south of Europe, which occupies the largest portion of the Iberian Peninsula.
Understand
Spain is a large country that occupies most of the Iberian Peninsula. Throughout its history, the various kingdoms gave way to a single country. This made unique private brands prevail from region to region. Starting with languages, such as Galician, Basque or Catalan in the north and Castilian in the center and south. Culturally, the differences range from the distinctly Celtic characteristics of the north to the indelible Arab presence in the Andalusia.The Spaniards are gregarious and despite the differences marked by the heritage of the past, they are commonly sociable, with the extended family having a strong influence on daily life. The street is a meeting point next to bars and restaurants, where Spaniards typically meet at the end of the afternoon in more or less large groups. Catholicism is also a unifying feature of the country, where a large part of the population (although there is decreasing in younger groups) is a practicing Catholic, and this can even be observed throughout the country in the various religious events throughout the year, whose high point is the celebration of Easter.
