Separated from the rest of Europe by the Pyrenees mountains, Spain reaches to the coast of North Africa and has both Atlantic and Mediterranean coastlines. During its long and rich history Spain was occupied by Phoenicians, Romans, and Moors who arrived from North Africa in the 8th century and were driven out in the 15th century. In 1975 Spain became a constitutional monarchy under Juan Carlos I. (The Spanish still enjoy their traditions.)

Andalusia is the region that extends across southern Spain; its landscape varies from the deserts of Almera in the east to the snow capped mountains of the Sierra Nevada and the beaches of the Costa Del Sol. Three cities there share the greatest of Spains Moorish monuments:?Grenada, Cordoba, and Seville.
Seville is the region’s spectacular capital. A base for Columbus in the 15th century and gateway to the New World in the 16th century, Seville is a flamboyant and beautiful city where James Michener wrote,?“Sevilla doesn’t have ambience, it is ambience.” It’s a city where bull fighting continues and castanets and flamenco dancers still fill the evenings. Hemingway loved Seville's abundant nightlife.

Flamenco is Spain’s forceful artistic expression of the joys and sorrows of life. Flamenco is a unique Andalusian art form originally performed by gypsies.
