DISCOVER THE BEAUTY OF SPAIN & PORTUGAL
Eventually, every romantic has to come to grips with the Iberian Peninsula, where Spain and Portugal share more than a common border; for both countries are places of audible and visible pleasures – of gentle music and ancient architecture.
In Spain, the writings of Cervantes, the paintings of Picasso and Goya, the music of Fernando Sor, Joaquin Rodrigo and Enrique Granados are familiar to the rest of the world.
Portugal’s great artists, writers and composers – like painter Abel Salazar, composer Manuel Freire, and Nobel Prize-winning author Jose Saramago – may not be as internationally famous, but the country has a rich and diverse culture that’s as easily accessible as its eastern neighbor.
Portugal’s fado music is every bit as exciting as the flamenco heard in Spain, and the posadas of Portugal are just as charming as Spain’s paradores – luxurious hotels located in historical castles and estates.
Iberia is a time capsule, where layers of cultures are literally built upon one another. Most visible are the remnants of ancient battles that eventually gave
rise to a magnificent blend of civilizations; modern Europe sits comfortably among the remains of yesterday’s empires.
Andalusia, in southern Spain,
holds some of the nation’s most treasured historical sites, and in its greatest cities – Seville, Ronda, Malaga, Cordoba and Granada – you can explore the nation’s Moorish and Christian past. Spain brings to mind many images – castanets and dancers, guitar music and flamenco, matadors
and bull rings.
From the southern shores of Spain you can see the mountains of Morocco. And you then begin to
understand this place. Spain’s history is one of invasion and conquest, and modern Spanish culture is a fusing of both victors and vanquish.
North of Madrid, in the region of Castilla y Leon, is found a Spain that is Celtic in history and character, and where the cuisine is more French than Mediterranean. Ranging across the high plateau of the Iberian interior, it is home to some of the country’s most intriguing cities.
