The
famous Spaniard writer José María Gironella says in the
preface of
his novel :
The Cypress Believe in God, ASpain is an
unknown country@. Yes indeed,
Spain
is yet to
be discovered. Experience proves that it
is hard to view this country impartially, to treat its customs and its
psychology as though everything about them is of a piece of a single
color.
Legends and labels in fact are piled up everywhere in this so naturally
endowed
land. There is a magic and mystery in Spain that challenges one=s understanding.
Spain
is a land of stoics and mystics, of poets and painters, of dreamers and
realists. The zest for life that the
noble Spaniard people naturally have, the capacity for loyal
friendship, their
unrivaled hospitality, their pride and courage are characteristics that
enhance
respect and inspire affection. This
intricate tapestry of colors and shapes will never cease to amaze the
world. Welcome to Spain,
Bienvenidos a España, the AUltimate Paradise@ as
the Moors once called it.
Spain for riches
When God created Spain,
He allowed the Spaniards three wishes.
They chose to have the most varied climate in the world,
the most
beautiful women and the most delicious food and wine, and God agreed.
