- About Spain
Nestled on the picturesque Iberian Peninsula, Spain is the largest country in Southern Europe. Known for its vibrant fiestas, mesmerizing flamenco, and passion for football, there is hardly any dull moment in Spain. The economy of Spain is the fourth largest in the Eurozone, characterized by a mix of sectors, including services, industry, agriculture, and tourism. Spain is committed to achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals with a focus on poverty eradication, gender equality, and quality education, among other goals.
Spain is the birthplace of great artists such as Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dali, and creativity flows through its veins. Whether it’s flamenco’s passionate rhythms or the intricate details of Gaudi’s architectural marvels, art in Spain is not confined to galleries but thrives in the streets, festivals, and the very essence of its people. Spain also has a strong and passionate sporting culture. While football holds a special place in the hearts of its citizens, other sports like basketball and tennis are also thoroughly enjoyed.
The landscapes of Spain look like a painter’s masterpiece. From the sun-kissed beaches to the rugged cliffs, it offers a diverse range of natural wonders. The rolling hills of Andalusia or the snow-capped peaks of the Sierra Nevada enchant travelers with their breathtaking vistas.
