You can swim in the sea and ski in the mountains in the same day (barcelona area) they eat late after 2pm for lunch and 10pm for dinner the kids stay up late with parents. When they eat they serve portions separately ie:chicken first then chips after there are 2 different spanish languages catalan and castillian similar but different. They love bullfighting it is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world. They dont really say please or thankyou much its not in their nature. When royalty die they are kept in an ornate amazing mausoleum which is decorated with frescoes gold etc so ornate its unbelievable. they are mostly catholic. They have a painting of the mona lisa (but not the mona lisa) in a el prado museum madrid. Im sure if you go on to the tourist board you will find lots of amazing historical facts such as they had a dictator for a while etc etc

I heard it has one of the best rated restaurants in the world. You might want to research that. Also didn't the Spanish Kings send Columbus to prove the earth was round.
