The history of the birth of Spain The most ancient inhabitants known to us in the history of Spain appeared in the 3rd millennium BC. They are believed to have come from North Africa. They are called Iberians. The first people whose activities in Spain have evidence recorded in writing were the Phoenicians. The Roman presence in Spain lasted seven centuries. Rome declared Spain its possession, dividing it into 2 provinces - Spain Near and Spain Far. In 711, the Muslim period in the history of Spain begins. The reason for this was the lightning-fast occupation of the peninsula by the Moors. Spain became an independent state in 1492 after the expulsion of the Moors and the unification of the country. In 1931, the monarchy was overthrown in Spain and a civil war began, which ended in 1939 with the capture of Madrid and the establishment of the dictatorship of General Franco. The monarchy was restored again in 1975.

SPAIN

Introduction
- Among the most beautiful countries in the world, it is impossible not to notice Spain. You cannot associate this country exclusively with bulls, beaches and flamenco. Spain is a diverse, picturesque country, its rich history is reflected in prehistoric rock art, ancient fortresses, Gothic cathedrals, and Roman ruins.
Geographical position
Capital - Madrid
- Spain is a colorful, cheerful, sunny country located in southwest Europe.
- It occupies approximately 85% of the territory of the Iberian Peninsula, as well as minor islands in the Mediterranean Sea and the Canary Islands in the Atlantic Ocean.
- The country is bordered by Portugal to the west and Andorra and France to the north. The natural border is the Pyrenees Mountains.
- Spain is washed in the south by the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, in the west by the Atlantic Ocean, in the north by the Bay of Biscay, and in the east by the Mediterranean Sea.
- Almost 90% of the territory is dominated by mountain ranges and plateaus.
- The flora and fauna are rich in rare species, and all because of the extent of the kingdom from north to south and the diversity of landscapes - from mountain peaks with wild rivers and clear mountain lakes to flat landscapes with fields covered with emerald grass and flowers.
- The main feature of the Spanish climate is the sharp transition from winter to summer: from +50 °C to 0 °C
- The predominant climate is Mediterranean , which is characterized by scanty precipitation and is divided into three types: Mediterranean maritime, Mediterranean continental and arid.
- Due to the arid climate, there are few forests and they are located mainly in the north-west of the country. The trees are dominated by beech, walnut, poplar and olive.
- Oranges and almonds grow on the coast.
beech, walnut, poplar, olive
oranges, almonds.
- Central European and African connections are evident in the fauna of Spain. Among European species, two varieties of brown bear, lynx, wolf, fox, and forest cat deserve mention. There are deer, hares, squirrels and moles. The imperial eagle is found in Spain and North Africa, and the blue magpie, found on the Iberian Peninsula, has also been found in East Asia. On both sides of the Strait of Gibraltar there are genets, Egyptian mongooses and one species of chameleon.
Natural resources
- The subsoil of Spain is replete with minerals. The reserves of metal ores are especially significant.
- Iron ores are found in the north and south of Spain.
- Significant reserves of potassium salts, coal, uranium, gold, silver, etc.
- It is worth noting, however, that most of the mineral deposits in the country are very modest in size and are quite depleted, like many deposits in other European regions, which makes Spain dependent on the import of minerals, mainly from North Africa.
The meaning of the colors of the flag is symbolic and is associated with the legend of its origin. The legend says that the king of Aragon wanted his army to have its own banner. The king's subordinates were given the task of coming up with this banner. When the projects were completed, the king, having examined them, chose from all those proposed one banner with a smooth golden field. The king looked at the monochromatic banner for a long time and finally ordered a cup of blood to be brought to him. When the cup was brought, the king dipped two fingers into it and ran them along the banner. Two red stripes were imprinted on the banner, top and bottom.
- On the sides of the shield are the famous “pillars of Hercules”, reminiscent of Gibraltar and Tangier - two fortresses located respectively on the sides of the Strait of Gibraltar. The pillars on the coat of arms are surrounded by a ribbon on which the motto is written: “Plus Ultra”, which means “nowhere further”. This motto symbolized the advance of the empire westward - to the shores of America. In the center of the coat of arms is a shield with images of the emblems of the kingdoms.
Long live Spain! Let's all sing together. In different voices
But with one heart.
Long live Spain! From the green valleys
To the endless sea, Anthem of brotherhood!
Love the Fatherland,
Glory to the sons
What did history give, Justice and greatness,

- ¡Viva España! Cantemos todos juntos con distinta voz y un solo corazón ¡Viva España! desde los verdes valles al inmenso mar, un himno de hermandad Ama a la patria pues sabe abrazar, bajo su cielo azul, pueblos en libertad Gloria a los hijos que a la Historia dan justicia y grandeza democracia y paz .

Each region has unique attractions, many are included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
While in this country, it is impossible not to visit the knightly tournament, which takes place in the real ancient Valtordera castle. It is impossible to ignore the “art of tauromachy” - bullfighting. Throughout the world, Spaniards are famous for their hot temperament and courage. Perhaps this is why bullfighting has become a national symbol of passion, blood and courage.
