Spain, festival of flavors

The best kept secret of Europe, Spain offers distinct regions with special architecture, cuisine, history and personalities. Madrid is a uniquely engineered European capital with train lines instead of rivers which bring commerce and wealth to the capital to fuel the culture. The Prado and Thyssen museums are world famous, gastronomy is valued by all and the Madrilenos congregate in the sidewalk cafes, pursuing the national pastime, enjoyment of life! Andalusia is rich in Moorish history which lasted twice as long as the Christian kingdom and contains much that the residents are proud of in philosophy, education and art. Costa del Sol, with the same bright Moorish architecture also has the languid ambiance of all sea shore regions, drawing the Beautiful People as well as Spanish families to the exquisite Mediterranean Sea. Everywhere one is encouraged to ‘Enjoy!’
