About the Author
Introduction
If you have never been to Spain, I will tell you about some of the many treasures it has and maybe this will inspire you to go there someday.
Spain has tons of castles and cathedrals. There are about 2500 castles around Spain and around 100 cathedrals. Cathedrals are usually much bigger and more impressive than churches. Spain also has many structures from ancient Roman times, including aqueducts that carry water from place to place and outdoor theaters called amphitheaters where members of the public would gather to be entertained. One of these Roman aqueducts will be featured in this book along with some of the best known castles and cathedrals.
Spain was controlled by Arabs from 711 until 1492 so there are many structures with an Arabian look throughout the country, including several palaces or alcazars as they are known in Spanish. Several of these are included in this book as well.
The weather in Spain is typically warm and sunny most of the year. It’s a country that grows lots of fruit, especially lemons and oranges. There are many olive groves and vineyards around the countryside as Spain is a big producer of olive oil and wine. Many tourists come to Spain because the weather is great and the food delicious.
