Slogan that describes your country 

Created by: Amber Peters

 

 

 

 

 

Location                       

 

Spain is located on the Iberian Peninsula in South West Europe.                        

 

 

 

Physical Geography

 

Spain has colorful bullfights, sunny climates, historic cities, and beautiful castles. 

If you like fine architecture, fascinating sights and attractions, and colorful culture, then you should visit madrid, Seville, or Barcelona. You can enjoy entertainment and fun in Alicante, or you can spend your time relaxing and enjoying life at one of the resorts along the Costa Blanca or the Costa Del Sol. The best time to go to Spain is between May and September because you can rely on good weather, and avoid it being to hot, and the main cruch of Spanish and foreign tourists.

 

 

 

Human Geography

 The language that is spoken in Spain is mostly Spanish. About 95% of Spain are Spaniards. Spain has four major ethnic groups that are divided by language, Castilian, Basque, Catalan and Galician which is pretty much the entire population.Some citizens are Moroccans, and Latin Americans. Most of the Spaniards live in an increasingly modern and urban society. An interesting tradition in Spain is every year, Buñol hosts La Tomatina, the world's largest vegetable fight.

 

 

 

Movement

 Visitors are drawn to Spain by its resorts on the warm, sunny mediterranean coast, and by its bullfights, castles, and colorful festivals. Tourists get to this country by plane. Then when they get there they can get around by bus, car, or bikes. Yes, they do have access to T.V, radio, and the Internet. The locals move around pretty much the same way the visitors can. Yes, Spain has the ABC, El Mundo, El Pais, and La Vanguardia newspapers. 

 

 

 

Impact

 

In Spain, Eco-tourism has grown in popularity during the international environmental movement of the 90's. Now Spain is the number two destination for foreign tourist. The most popular subjects for tours are birds, butterflies, and plants.Tourists are learning that the passion, which attracts them to a particular destination, needs to extend to making the choices that will preserve it. With protected lands, treaties and conferences, businesses and governments making adjustments, the move is in the right direction. Eco -tourism is the only way to insure that locales and the human resources which support them will be around for future generations.

 

 

 

Compare and Contrast

 

When tourists come to Spain they can expect to find a bunch of fancy tall buildings with fine architecture, and other colorful buildings. The main sport here is soccer. Fans crowd homes and local bars to watch important matches.

Tourists should come here because its not like any other country. For example, it has very unique buildings and you will not see as much bull riding in any other country than there is in Spain.
