Tenerife and Spain Holidays

Introducing Spain 
Spain is situated on the Iberian Peninsula, at the far
western end of Europe. In the last 50 years, Spain

has changed from being one of the most isolated
countries in the Western world to having global
connections. It is now an important and influential
country as part of the European Union, and Spanish
is the third most common language in the world,
after Chinese Mandarin and English.
gj Spain has three international borders, a short border with
Gibraltar, a British territory, and includes the Canary Islands.

The heart of Spain

Spain is divided into several
regions, each with different
landscapes and peoples. Ca-stile,
in the middle of the country,
is centred around the capital,
Madrid, and has a harsh
landscape of broad plains and
rugged mountains. The name
Castile means 'Land of Castles',
and there are many forts on the
hilltops of Castile. The people
who live there - Castilians - have
been the dominant force in Spain
since the fifteenth century. They
sponsored the first voyages of
discovery to the Americas and
established colonies there,
making Spain the world's first


major colonial power.

When it was built during the eighth
century, the mosque at Cordoba was
the second largest in the world, and it
was one of the most important places
in the Islamic Empire. The Moorish
influence can be seen in its architecture.

 The inside of the mosque at
Cordoba has more than 1,000
pillars supporting arches designed
in the Moorish style. It became
a Roman Catholic cathedral
in 1236 CE.

Less polluted air and thick forests stimulates your mind.  Temperatures do not exceed nor drops.  Stabilized climate and atmosphere makes this place more heavenly like a paradise on earth.  Breezes from the sea and the clear blue clouds draw many to the neck of the woods.  After a month in Cyprus, you will be as brown as a berry accomplishing tanned skin.  A major element that attracts many to this small place is the long-lasting summers.  Any time of the year is perfect for a holiday in Cyprus. 

Archaeological sites and water expeditions needs time to be enjoyed to the fullest.  Once you are in Cyprus, you are given the carte Blanche in Cyprus.  Climate is cooler in the Troodos transforming the mountains for expeditions like hiking and a perfect hang out with your kin and kith.  Cyprus beauty is so natural that you will misunderstand for a figment of imagination.  Locals of Cyprus are too bold and they even try the foreigners out of the shell in order to enjoy to the maximum.
