Spain's Dynamic Cultural Heritage Remains Alive Thriving Today

Sharing the wonderful Iberian Peninsula with Portugal found in Mediterranean Europe lies the sovereign state known as Spain. Graced with scenic views, a vibrant night life, and a culturally diverse background, it's no wonder why Spain is annually visited by swarms of tourists.

My first visit to Spain was the general itinerary that is mostly concentrated on visiting basilicas that has noticeable architectural designs. Spanish cathedrals frequently manifest Baroque or Gothic architectural designs. If you're the type who likes to see the tiniest architectural details or just plain interested in architecture, then Spain is a wonderful place to visit. These cathedrals are quite conducive to aspiring architectural majors for it enables one to see the notable features of a particular architectural movement during the height of Spanish culture.

If you want to deviate from the general tourists destinations in Spain, however, I suggest you visit Bejar, a small town in Salamanca situated in the western central Spain. Going to this environment is like going back to Spain's past through a time machine. Some of the highlights of this environment are the Castanar bullfighter arena which is the oldest bullfighting arena in Spain and La Muralla, an Arab wall that remains as the living proof of the Muslim's hold over Spain prior to the country's unification.
