Internship in Spain
|
Whenever people think of Spain, they think of vacation, sun, beach and ocean. Yet Spain offers much more that just a long coastline: It is rich in history and cultural achievements. Excursions into the countryside reveal a lot about the eventful past of the country. Location Spain or the Kingdom of Spain is a country located mostly in south-western Europe on the Iberian Peninsula. The Spanish mainland is bordered to the south and east by the Mediterranean Sea except for a small land boundary with Gibraltar, to the north by France, Andorra and the Bay of Biscay, and to the west by the Atlantic Ocean and Portugal. With an area of 504,030 km², Spain is the second largest country in Western Europe. Language The Spanish language, ‘Castellano’, is one of the most widespread languages in the world. Outside Spain, it is the official language in all of South America except for Brazil (although you can make yourself understood with Spanish in many places there). With a few exceptions, Spanish is also spoken in Central America. Even in the south-western United States many inhabitants speak Spanish. Economy On January 1st 2002 Spain terminated its peseta currency and replaced it with the euro, which it shares with 14 other countries in the Euro-zone. Spain has also seen strong economic growth, well above the EU average. The Spanish economy has thus been regarded lately as one of the most dynamic within the EU, attracting significant amounts of foreign investment. During the last four decades the Spanish tourism industry has grown to become the second biggest in the world.
