Hello!

The Spanish name for Spain is España and we are in teh South of Europe. The largest city and capital of Spain is Madrid, and the second largest city is Barcelona, which is located in Catalonia. Our school is near Barcelona.

Tapas is almost as much a cultural activity as a style of eating. Every town and city in Spain has its own festivals and traditions. I particularly love Christmas, La Diada de Sant Jordi in Catalonia (Catalan Saint Valentine's Day), and the customs surrounding Semana Santa (Easter) in Andalucia. We are always celebrating something.

Bye!
