Wide, very beautiful country of the western Europe, that occupies almost entirely the Iberian peninsula, formed from a large central plateau, the Meseta, rimmed or interrupted by almost always sour and strongly eroded and engraved chains of mountains. The country is handsome wherever from North to South, as far as the two archipelagoes of the Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean and of the Canary Islands in the Atlantic Ocean. Spanish towns are among the most beautiful and pleasant of the world, with appearances and attractions different between them, but always of great glamour: from its vital and big metropolis of Madrid and Barcelona; to the southern and arabic Cordova, Seville and Granada; from the gathered, uniform, wonderful Toledo; from its splendid northern towns of Burgos, Salamanca, Leon and Santiago de Compostela. Then there are countries and villages of the Spain, as Patrol, Velez Rubio and Vejer de the Frontera, as Tarifa, Anso and Morella and then there are the Sierras and the Serranie and then there are the splendid coasts and then there is the people and the atmosphere of Spain.
