西班牙印象

西班牙是欧洲最具吸引力的旅游大国。西班牙集浪漫与激情于一身，是个充满艺术气息的国家。素以斗牛、舞蹈、吉它名重天下。斗牛是传统的民族文化，是西牙的“国粹 ”，有悠久的历史。西班牙的舞蹈更是充满激情。在很多外国人的眼中，西班牙是一个神话般的国家。它拥有世界上最为人熟知的西班牙斗牛和弗拉明戈舞。西班牙引人入胜之处不仅在于她艳丽豪华，而且在与其无可否认的异国情调。

西班牙有四大旅游区：热带大山风光-加那利群岛以“幸福岛”闻名中外；太阳海岸-地中海沙滩是各国日光浴爱好者无限仰慕的胜地；山光水色，海天辉映的地中海浴池-马利阿里群岛；文化古城-马德里和巴塞罗那。

Spain, the second largest country in Europe (France is the biggest) is located in southwestern Europe in an area known as the Iberian Peninsula. Spain is a fascinating country, rich in art and culture. The legacy of the Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans, Visigoths, Muslims and Christians have all left their mark throughout the country.

For the traveler, the question becomes how much can I tour in the limited time I have in this country. The best place to start any tour should be Madrid, capital of Spain. This city is one of the liveliest cities on the European continent. At just about any hour of the day or night, there is always some type of activity going on. The city, and Spain in general, is very well know for the night life. Bars, discos, and restaurants do not even start to get busy until 10 or 11 pm, and the former stay open all night long!
