Spain Slowly

Spain is a large European country, densely packed with historical and prehistorical sites, and stories from the many groups of people who made this country. In the north, Galicia and the Celts, the Pyrenees with the Basques, the south with the great Islamic culture who dominated, educated and civilised for over 500 years. The reconquest by the Christian Crusades and the bourbonne kings. On the map, the distances are small, so its tempting to try see everything in one trip but, like tapas, Spain is best enjoyed in smaller bites.
