Introduction

Among the most beautiful countries in the world, it is impossible not to notice Spain. You can not associate this country exclusively with bulls, beaches and flamenco. Spain is a versatile picturesque country, its richest history is reflected in prehistoric chronicle rock art, ancient fortresses, Gothic cathedrals, Roman ruins.

Geographical position

Capital - Madrid

Spain is a colorful, cheerful, sunny country located in the southwest of Europe.
It occupies approximately 85% of the territory of the Iberian Peninsula, as well as minor islands in the Mediterranean Sea and the Canary Islands in the Atlantic Ocean.
The country borders Portugal to the west and Andorra and France to the north. Natural border - the Pyrenees.
Spain is washed in the south by the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, in the west by the Atlantic Ocean, in the north by the Bay of Biscay, in the east by the Mediterranean Sea.

Almost 90% of the territory is dominated by mountain ranges and plateaus.
Flora and fauna are rich in rare species, and all because of the extent of the kingdom from north to south and the variety of landscapes - from mountain peaks with turbulent rivers and clear mountain lakes to flat landscapes with fields covered with emerald grass and flowers.
The main feature of the Spanish climate is a sharp transition from winter to summer: from +50 °C to 0 °C
The prevailing climate is Mediterranean , which is distinguished by poor precipitation and is divided into three types: Mediterranean maritime, Mediterranean continental and arid.

Due to the arid climate, there are few forests and they are located mainly in the north-west of the country. Beech, walnut, poplar, olive predominate among the trees.
Oranges and almonds grow on the coast.

In the fauna of Spain, Central European and African connections are obvious. Among European species, two varieties of the brown bear, the lynx, the wolf, the fox, and the forest cat, deserve mention. There are deer, hares, squirrels and moles. in Spain and North Africa the imperial eagle is found, and the blue magpie found on the Iberian Peninsula was also found in East Asia. On both sides of the Strait of Gibraltar, there are genets, Egyptian mongooses and one species of chameleon.

Natural resources

The bowels of Spain abound in minerals. The reserves of metal ores are especially significant.
Iron ores are found in the north and south of Spain.
Significant reserves of potash salts, coal, uranium, gold, silver, etc.
It is worth noting, however, that most of the mineral deposits in the country are very modest in size and rather heavily depleted, like many deposits in other European regions, which makes Spain dependent on mineral imports, mainly from North Africa.

The meaning of the colors of the flag is symbolic and is associated with the legend of its origin. The legend says that the king of Aragon wished that his troops had their own banner. The king's subordinates were given the task to come up with this banner. When the projects were completed, the king, having examined them, chose from all the proposed ones one banner with an even golden field. The king looked at the monotonous banner for a long time and finally ordered that a goblet of blood be brought to him. When the goblet was brought, the king dipped two fingers into it and ran them over the canvas of the banner. Two red stripes were imprinted on the banner, above and below.

On the sides of the shield are the famous "Pillars of Hercules", reminiscent of Gibraltar and Tangier - two fortresses located respectively on the sides of the Strait of Gibralactar. The pillars on the coat of arms are wrapped around a ribbon on which the motto is written: "Plus Ultra", which means "nowhere else." This motto symbolized the advance of the empire to the west - to the shores of America. In the center of the coat of arms is a shield with images of the emblems of the kingdoms.
