1 |
Climate: The Spanish
Mediterranean has the best climate in Europe. In coastal provinces like Alicante,
Castellón, Valencia,
Baleares, Almería, Murcia... people enjoy the sun, the sea and quiet beaches
all year round. Many foreign residents actually prefer their Spanish homes in
the low season months, when tourists disappear, and the climate
is still warm enough to enjoy fully all the advantages of living in the country
or on the coast. And Spanish
paradors usually have foreign guests throughout the low season months. |

2 | Healthy
diet. Experts have been talking about the benefits of the Mediterranean
diet for years. The traditional Spanish diet - grains, cereals, fresh
fruit and vegetables, fish, olive oil, and even red
wine (yes! According to some experts, a
glass of red wine a day is good for you!). Learn a few Spanish
recipies, take advantage of the excellent quality fruit, fish, vegetables
in Spain, and live longer! | | 3 |
Spanish language. Spanish
is one of the World's leading languages and is spoken by 450 million people in
Spain, Latin America and the USA. Take advantage of living in Spain to learn the
language. Sign up to do a Spanish language

online Spanish courses available on the Internet. If you are thinking

4 | Spain
- several countries in one. Spain is such a diverse country, that its
difficult to know where to start. Whether you enjoy the beach,
mountains, dry plains,
tropical climates, skiing, trekking,
long
sandy beaches, hidden rocky coves, crisp
cold mornings, long warm evenings, sitting by a warm fire watching it
snow outside or sitting on a deckchair in the sun, sleepy
rural villages, some of Europe's most modern
cities, art,
Spanish
music....... there is simply something for everyone and for every moment.
Take a look at Resi-Travel for
a few ideas. Look

to Spanish hotels and guide

5 | Outdoor
life. The climate in many areas of Spain means that if you have the
time, energy and motivation, it is not difficult to lead a healthy lifestyle.
If you enjoy walking, swimming, playing golf, tennis, water sports, winter sports....
this is the country for you. Spaniards tend to live outside much more than in
most other European countries. Check our information on fiestas
in Spain if you want to experience days and nights of non-stop fun outdoors.
Start participating in that very civilized Spanish habit: el paseo. And hang up
a hammack in your garden to enjoy another one: la siesta. | 6 | Spanish
culture. The sheer variety and wealth of Spanish
culture is the result of the fact that Spain has been home to different
races and cultures throughout its long history. Romans, Iberians, Moors, French...
and, more recently, Latin American immigrants, foreign residents from northern
Europe and beyond. Discover Spanish culture. Visit museums, art galleries, castles.
