Yes.

Queen Sofia of Greece and Denmark (this is her title - she is actually the Queen of Spain in terms of power) is alive and doing well. If the question was about the most famous Spanish Queen: Isabella, she is long dead, but King Juan Carlos I is a direct descendant of hers. (Queen Sofia is not.)

no

"Mezquita" is simply the Spanish word for "Mosque", it does not refer to a specific place. However, many people will colloquially call the Cathedral of Cordoba as "La Mezquita" since the Cathedral is built into the former Great Mosque of Cordoba. It is the largest Islamic or formerly Islamic religious building in Spain.

You mean during the reign of King Philip II ? Spain's American colonies and their regular supply of shiploads of silver to Spain in a way contributed to it. Just like many oil producing countries today, these easy riches produced two effects: 1) Spain totally neglected the build-up of economic activity outside of exploiting its American silver and gold mines and 2) it used its wealth to further its political goal to be a major league player and to wage or support a number of very costly wars elsewhere: in Italy, France, the Dutch Republic, England, northern Africa and elsewhere against the Ottoman Empire....only to find that the cost of waging these wars outstripped his American and Spanish income.

With an underdeveloped national economy and many of those wars not reaping any material benefits, Philip II was continually short of money and had to borrow huge amounts of money from bankers. These bankers then got as collateral the good 'local' sources of tax income of the King, like the right to custom duties in Spanish harbors. The result: Philip's debts rose, while the income to pay them back with declined. In the end, Spain - or rather, Philip - had to default on its debt several times. And after each time new loans were only to be had at a higher interest rate and with even more collateral (and remaining sources of income) to be offered. So bankruptcies would follow each other in ever-quicker succession.

Neither. Spain is a Constitutional Monarchy. However, it acts as a de facto republic in that the King is really only the Head of State and stays out of most political affairs.

If it's during the day, you could go visit the great wall from both sides, then go to the cathedral, then visit some of the churches by the wall (San Vicente, San Pedro, Monasterio de Santa Teresa), eat some Yemas de Avila. If you have transportation, visit Cuatro Postes on the outer part of the town. Otherwise I would just recommend taking a few moments to walk around the town, it really is beautiful.

If it's during the night, you should walk by the wall because the lighting is beautiful. Then go to a disco and party the night away!
