"Eccentric" is only in the eye of the beholder. Most people in the US consider soccer a childrens' game and are amazed to see it a multibillion professional sport elsewhere, with Spain being a major contender. Spain also has an active rugby union, which as a sport is unknown in the US, replaced there by its Frankenstein monster stepchild, American football.

"Typically" Spanish sports are Basque Pelota and Valencia Pelota, indoor handball sport where a small hard ball is hit with great strenght with the bare hands of the players. Only Holland has something akin to it in its northern provinces, where it is called Kaatsen.

Spain has at least three distinct climatic zones. The North bordering the Bay of Biscay has an Atlantic type of climate much influenced by weather systems associated with the Atlantic circulation. Summers are warm/hot but with outbreaks of rain; winters mild but rainy/snowy in the mountains. Central Spain around Madrid is more remote from Atlantic influences and has a more continental climate with very hot dry summers and very cold winters. southern Spain/Costa Brava etc. has a Mediterranean climate with hot relatively dry summers and most precipitation in winter like parts of California.
