    FOOD :Sangria is a typical beverage from Spain and Portugal.

    It normally consists of red wine,


    chopped fruit, a sweetener, and a small amount of
    added brandy. Chopped fruit can include orange, lemon, lime,
    apple, peach, melon, berries, pineapple, grape, kiwifruit and
    mango. A sweetener such as honey, sugar, syrup, or orange
    juice is added. Instead of brandy, other liquids such as
    Seltzer, Sprite or 7 Up may be added. Sangria
    is steeped while chilled for as little as minutes or up to a few
    days.[1]
    Paella (Valencian pronunciation: [paea] or [pe], Spanish: [paea]; English
    approximation: /pal/[1] or US /pe/[2]) is a Valencianrice
    dish with ancient roots that originated in its modern form in
    the mid-19th century near Albufera lagoon on the east coast
    of Spain adjacent to the city of Valencia.[3] The dish is widely
    regarded as Spain's national dish, as well as a regional
    Valencian dish; Valencians regard paella as one of their
    identifying symbols.
    BULL FIGHTING:
    Spain has always been famous for its bull-fights as have other countries all over the
    world.. In Spain the bullfight is called the Fiesta Nacional (The national Sport). There are
    few places in Spain where a bull-ring can't be found within a short drive. It is the most
    common thing associated with Spain, and rightly so for its origins date back to 711AD
    when the first bullfight (corrida) took place in honour of the crowning of King Alfons VIII.
    Every week, all over Spain, many thousands of Spaniards flock to the nearest bullring,
    but not all Spaniards agree with the sport, or like it. Bullfighting has now been
    banned in Catalunya and it is likely that other regions will follow suit. It has
    been reported that this ban will result in thousands of jobs being lost and large sums of
    compensation being paid to bull breeders.
    It is reported that each year[2009], within Spain, 24,000 bulls are killed in front of an
    audience of 30 million people. The bullfighting season runs from March to October.
    Bullfighting was originally done on horseback and was a sport reserved for the
    aristocracy.

    TOMATINA : La Tomatina (Spanish pronunciation: [la toma


    tina]) is a festival that is held in the Valencian town of Buol,
    a town located in the East of Spain 30 km / 19 miles from the
    Mediterranean, in which participants throw tomatoes and get
    involved in this tomato fight purely for entertainment
    purposes. Since 1945 It has been held on the last
    Wednesday of August, during the week of festivities of Buol.
    The fight lasts for an hour, after which the whole town square
    is covered with tomato paste. Fire trucks hose down the

    streets and participants use hoses that locals provide to


    remove the tomato paste from their bodies. Some participants
    go to the pool of los peones to wash. After the cleaning,
    the village cobblestone streets are pristine due to the acidity
    of the tomato disinfecting and thoroughly cleaning the
    surfaces.
    Since 2013, the capacity of La Tomatina is regulated by
    selling tickets for the event, a measure that "guarantees the
    sustainability of the party, better security and [more] fun for
    the attenders [sic]. In 2015, it is estimated that
    almost 145000 kg of tomatoes were thrown. As with previous
    years, participants of many nationalities are expected.
    The city council follows a short list of instructions for the safety of the participants and the
    festival:
    1. The tomatoes have to be squashed before throwing to avoid injuries.
    2. No other projectiles except tomatoes are allowed.
    3. Participants have to make way for trucks and lorries.
    4. After the second shot indicative of ending the tomato hurl, no tomatoes should be thrown.

    FLAMENCO : Flamenco (Spanish pronunciation: [flameko]) is an artform and genre of music


    and dance native to the southern Spanish regions
    ofAndalusia, Extremadura and Murcia. It
    includes cante (singing), toque (guitar playing), baile (dance)
    and jaleo, which refers to the vocalizations and rhythmic
    sounds of palmas (handclapping) and pitos (finger snapping).
    [1]

    First mentioned in literature in 1774, the genre is thought to

    have grown out of Andalusian music and dance styles.[2][3]


    [4]

    Flamenco is often associated with the gitanos(Romani

    people of Spain) and a significant proportion of famous


    flamenco artists are of this ethnicity. However, unlike Romani
    music of eastern Europe, the style is distinctively Andalusian
    and the fusion of the various cultures that have coexisted in
    southern Spain is clearly perceptible in Flamenco music.
    Although there are many theories on its origin, the most

    widespread highlights a Moriscoheritage, with the cultural


    melting pot that was Andalusia at the time (Andalusians,
    Moors, Castilian settlers, Romanis and Jews) fostering its
    development over time.[5] Flamenco music, as a theatrical
    representation of Andalusian musical tradition, was first
    recorded in the late 18th century but the genre underwent a
    dramatic development in the late 19th century.[6]
    UNESCO declared flamenco one of the Masterpieces of the
    Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity.[9]

    ROYAL PALACE OF MADRID : The Palacio Real de


    Madrid (literally: Royal Palace of Madrid) is the official
    residence of the Spanish Royal Family at the city ofMadrid,
    but is only used for state ceremonies. King Felipe VI and the
    Royal Family do not reside in the palace, choosing instead
    the more modest Palacio de la Zarzuela on the outskirts of
    Madrid.

    The palace has 135,000 square metres of floorspace and contains 3,418 rooms. [5][6] The interior
    of the palace is notable for its wealth of art and the use of
    many types of fine materials in the construction and the
    decoration of its rooms. These include paintings by artists
    .Other collections of great historical and artistic importance
    preserved in the building include the Royal Armoury of
    Madrid, Porcelain, Watches, Furniture, Silverware and the
    world's only complete Stradivarius string quintet.
    SAGRADA FAMILIA : The Baslica i Temple Expiatori de la
    Sagrada Famlia is a large Roman Catholic church
    in Barcelona, designed by Catalan architect Antoni
    Gaud (18521926). Although incomplete, the church is
    a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
    Construction of Sagrada Famlia had commenced
    in 1882 and Gaud became involved in 1883,[5] taking over the
    project and transforming it with his architectural and
    engineering style, combining Gothic and curvilinear Art
    Nouveau forms. Gaud devoted his last years to the project,

    and at the time of his death at age 73 in 1926, less than a


    quarter of the project was complete.[9]
    The style of la Sagrada Famlia is variously likened to Spanish Late Gothic, Catalan
    Modernism and to Art Nouveau or CatalanNoucentisme.
    While the Sagrada Famlia falls within the Art Nouveau
    period, Nikolaus Pevsner points out that, along with Charles
    Rennie Macintosh in Glasgow, Gaud carried the Art Nouveau
    style far beyond its usual application as a surface decoration.

    SPAIN: Spain , officially the Kingdom of Spain , is asovereign state largely located on
    the Iberian Peninsula in southwestern Europe, with a small
    section of its territory located on the African continent.
    Its mainland is bordered to the south and east by
    the Mediterranean Sea except for a small land boundary with
    Gibraltar; to the north and northeast by France, Andorra, and
    the Bay of Biscay; and to the west and northwest
    by Portugal and theAtlantic Ocean. Along with France
    and Morocco, it is one of only three countries to have both
    Atlantic and Mediterranean coastlines. Extending to 1,214 km
    (754 mi), the PortugalSpain border is the longest
    uninterrupted border within the European Union.
    Iberia enters written records as a land populated largely by
    the Iberians, Basques and Celts. After an arduous conquest,
    the peninsula came under the rule of the Roman Empire.
    During the early Middle Ages it came under Germanic rule but
    later, much of it was conquered by Moorish invaders from
    North Africa. In a process that took centuries, the small
    Christian kingdoms in the north gradually regained control of
    the peninsula. The last Moorish kingdom fell in the same year
    Columbus reached the Americas. A global empire began
    which saw Spain become the strongest kingdom in Europe,

    the leading world power for a century and a half, and the
    largest overseas empire for three centuries.
    Continued wars and other problems eventually led to a
    diminished status. The Napoleonic invasions of Spain led to
    chaos, triggering independence movements that tore apart
    most of the empire and left the country politically unstable.
    Prior to the Second World War, Spain suffered a devastating
    civil war and came under the rule of an authoritarian
    government, which oversaw a period of stagnation that was
    followed by a surge in the growth of the economy. Eventually
    democracy was peacefully restored in the form of a
    parliamentary constitutional monarchy. Spain joined the
    European Union, experiencing a cultural renaissance and
    steady economic growth.
