Spain ~ paella and tapas, siestas, flamenco, bull fights, the running of the bulls, whitewashed villages, the Costa del sol and Mediterranean beaches.  Fabulous!
 
My first trip to Spain was in 2000 just after completing the Spain Specialist Program.  At the time I was seeing a guy that wanted to go to Spain and I didn’t know much about the country.  So I decided to take the specialist course and figured we’d travel to Spain together. 
 
Well, the guy didn’t last, but I completed the course, went to Spain and fell in love with the country.  Spain offers everything from food to culture, history, architecture and vibrant people.
 
The country is truly a melting pot.  For a time, Spain was run by the Sultans and the Alhambra Palace is a great example of the Moor’s influence. Visiting the churches and cathedrals you’ll notice the Jewish influence as well as the Christian and you can’t speak of architecture without mentioning the renowned Gaudi and all he contributed.
 
There is also a lot of African influence, with Spain just across the Straight of Gibraltar from Morocco.  And of course who can forget that Christopher Columbus sailed from Spain to find our New World so many years ago.
