In class this week, we learned about Spain. Spain has a rich culture that is unique to most of the world. The Moors from the East settled in the Iberian Peninsula (now Portugal and Spain) and have left their distinctive architecture there for tourists. The Romans also had control for over 500 years; their presence is also apparent through the Roman ruins left behind in southern Spain. The Pyrenees Mountains border Spain and France in the north, and Morocco in Africa is just south across the Mediterranean Sea.
After watching this movie of Madrid, Spain (the capitol), I now understand why Spain is a hot tourist spot for people not just around Europe, but the United States as well. I love the old buildings and the city feel. This would be a really fun place to visit, with a lot of history behind everything. I hope to go there someday.
