Before travelling to any country it is very important to know the culture and a little bit about the history of that country. Here I observed the exotic culture of Spain. Whenever people think of Spain right away they think of
flamenco dance form and places such as Barcelona.
However, Spain has a lot more to it than just that. Spain has a great history of
Spanish literature starting from the
Renaissance period. Such literature includes poetry, prose, and novels. Spain is also popular for it paintings and sculptures. Spain's well known artist since the 20th century has been Pablo Picasso who is known for his abstract drawings as well as paintings.
Many of the
architecture in Spain are displayed through mosques, tombs, the palace and the fort. All of these designs are inspired by Islamic culture. Islamic art didn't allow for the painting of people or figures therefore important buildings have walls of beautiful designs and floral patterns.
Spain does not have a national sport however it's most
popular sport is Football.
Most people in Spain are known to be Roman Catholics with a few from other religions.
Lastly, Spain has many
languages. The five most common languages of Spain are Spanish or Castilian,
Catalan or Valencian, Basque, Galician, and/or Aranese. Each is spoken in different parts of Spain with its own unique dialect.
