Spain

The Peseta was replaced by the Euro on January 1, 2002. Pesetas are no longer accepted in cash transactions.

Any of the coastal cities in the summer.

Madrid-Because there are many interesting landmarks,museums and movie theaters.

Barcelona-Great shopping malls and good beaches!

But it really does depend on what "best" means for you.

If it means lying on a beach, then anywhere on the spanish coast is OK; specially if you also want night life, entertainment and bars.

But if you want to discover real Spain, try going inland and discovering Andalucia, Catalonia, Extremadura or Asturias. And if you want the feel of Spain in your hotel, try small independent hotels or hostales rather than large modern chain hotels. More information in the links below

Queen Isabella 1 of Spain (a.k.a. Queen Isabella of Castile) is remembered for sponsoring Christopher Columbus and his trip to America. She is also remembered for marrying King Ferdinand of Aragon and uniting Spain. She expelled the Jews and Muslims from Spain and made Catholicism the main religion.

Spain was a crumbling empire, desperately trying to keep its holdings around the world. At the time (1810), Mexico was the most successful colony it ever had, like today California and Texas are to the United States. By losing Mexico and the remaining territories in the Americas, Spain would effectively cease to be a colonial power.

Spain sent many Spanish explorers to the New World. Three of the most famous were Cortes' Pizarro and De Soto.

Barcelona is located on the northeast coast of the Iberian Peninsula, facing the Mediterranean sea. It is the most populous city of the province, Catalonia and is the second largest city in Spain.

The main rivers in Spain are the Duero (Douro), Miño, Tajo (Tagus), Guadiana , the Guadalquivir River, and the Ebro River. These rivers are an awesome source of electric power.
