It is a large and varied country split up into autonomous regions which although governed from Madrid also have a fair amount of independence.The climate and soil varies quite alot from region to region and they grow many different crops as a result. These include, olives, grapes, oranges, lemons,almonds,tomatos, peppers, potatoes,asparagus and cork from the cork oak forests.
One of their major sources of income is tourism.
Generally speaking they are a friendly, welcoming people, very family oriented.

It is mainly a catholic country, and as a mediterranean country grows oranges, lemons, grapes etc.
But each region is different as it is a fairly large country.
Try searching on google or look at the lonely planet website which will give you a guide to spain.

depends on the climate...
north spain galicia, basque country, mainly wet weather
grow things like cranberries, chestnuts, walnuts,potatoes, greens grapes.
catalunya-tomatoes (they use it in everything)
valencia-oranges, tiger nuts
andalucia-olives and citrus due to hot weather
canary islands- bananas, almonds, avocados more tropical climes
extramadura- olives
these are produce that are sold in spain and exported!
agriculture is sadly on a downward spiral as young people dont want to stay in the villages and move to bigger cities to study or work so the demand for immagrants to work the land is high.

Spanish culture = macho. Men are definitely the boss!
Lots of oranges grow, particularly in Valencia.
Large farming and agricultural economy, particularly beef.

The Catalans are a miserable lot on the Costa Brava. Avoid them at all costs.
The roads are very good thanks to our EU Money!
