CYBERNET IMAGES & LINGÜISTA
I have been fascinated by Spain and the Spaniards since my first visit in 1975. Only now have I had the time and motivation to learn the language and more about the country, indeed to buy a reasonable camera and start to investigate properly. This means moving away from the southern costas and travelling inland and north.

The main appeal of Spain is, of course, the lifestyle (estilo de vida) including the culture (la cultura), food and wine (comida y vino) and the weather (el tiempo).

SPAIN'S CLIMATE
Mainland Spain covers the greater part of the Iberian Peninsula, sharing it with Portugal which faces the Atlantic Coast. Spain's coastlines include the Atlantic in the north and west and the Mediterranean in the south and east. It is the third largest country in Europe after Ukraine and France, covering some 504,780 sq km. Most of its 41 million population live in the cities whilst one can travel for many miles in rural areas without encountering a soul! Climatically the country may divided into two. North of the Cantabrian Mountains, described as 'Green Spain' receives  most of the county's rainfall, with warm, humid summers and mild winters, except in the mountains where snow (and skiing) are guaranteed! The greater part of the country south of these mountains including the huge meseta (lit. tableland) is arid receiving a continental climate, hot in the summer with cold winters, whilst the thin strip of Mediterranean coastline is more temperate.
