Country Guides: Spain
Spain is many things to many people. An artist retreat in the footsteps of Picasso, a culture vulture's quest for Gaudi or, as is the case for thousands of northern Europeans each year, a holiday destination for its sun-drenched beaches and resorts.
With the influx of tourist euros it's no surprise that it has one of the strongest economies in the world and a well-developed transport system with connections to the rest of Europe. It exists outside of the tourist radar, however, as a multifaceted country with its own distinct regional languages and dialects, and a cultural richness that extends beyond the postcard images of bull fights and flamenco.
