Known for its history, art, bullfights, flamenco, beaches and many hours of sunshine per year, is Spain, however, not only this, but much more. This land is and has been for millennia one of the cultural centers of Europe. So many of their cities, and even more lost enclaves, home to monuments of exceptional historical and artistic value, not to mention the extraordinary natural beauty that this ancient peninsula account.We used to saturation the topic of "Spain is different"; but here the question is:¿"Spain is different" from what?

It's really unlike anything; Europe, the world, and especially of herself. Since it is a country full of contrasts, starting with its climate and landscapes whose diversity have brought it the nickname "Little Europe". Indeed in Spain climates and landscapes are reminiscent of very remote parts of the European continent or even African, nothing strange considering that it is only separated from Africa by the Strait of Gibraltar. But the most special is that all these contrasts are found sometimes in a very small area, as is the case in the province of Granada, which despite having the highest peak of the peninsula, Mulhacen, covered with perpetual snow It is located far south on the Mediterranean coast facing Africa. This can give us an idea of ​​how to spend scarce kilometers of alpine landscapes African landscapes.In turn, each region, each city within the same region, and sometimes each village has a reality so different and fascinating.
