Spain is the fourth-largest country in Europe. It has everything from stone castles and sophisticated cities to flat plains, and snowcapped mountains, all of which have made it a favored travel destination.

So, to show our love for it, we at Bored Panda put together a list of photos that accentuate Spain's geographical and cultural diversity.

Taken both by locals and tourists, these images paint an accurate picture of what it's like to live in or visit this distinct place on Earth.

    To get a better understanding of Spain, Bored Panda got in touch with A Lady in London, an adventurous traveler who has already visited 112 countries.

    "When I think of Spain, I think of excellent food, vibrant culture, world-class cities, and rich cultural heritage," she told us.

    "The things that set the country apart for me are the rich history and diverse culinary offerings."

    Indeed, the country's history is as rich as it gets. Remains of Stone Age populations dating back some 35,000 years have been found all throughout Spain.

    Celtic people arrived there in the 9th century BCE, followed by the Romans, who dominated Spain from around 200 BCE until the Visigoth invasion in the early 5th century CE.

    In the early 8th century, most of the peninsula fell to Muslims (Moors) from North Africa, and it remained under their control until it was gradually reconquered by the Christian kingdoms of Castile, Aragon, and Portugal.

    In Salzburger Altstadt (Old City of Salzburg, Austria), many of the houses have been built with their back against Mönchsberg. There is a rather unique profession there named 'Bergputzer' (mountain patcher/mender) who climb down the city side of the cliff looking for cracks to seal. If water seeps into these cracks, it will turn to ice in the winter and expand, risking huge blocks of stone to be broken off and falling down on the houses beneath it. I wonder if the same risk and profession exist in the city pictured.

    Spain was reunited in 1479 following the marriage of Ferdinand II (of Aragon) and Isabella I (of Castile). The last Muslim kingdom, Granada, was regained in 1492, and at about this time Spain established a colonial empire in the Americas.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    The country became a republic in 1931 but a civil war ravaged the country from 1936 to 1939 and ended in victory for the Nationalists under Gen. Francisco Franco, who ruled as a dictator until his death in 1975. His successor as head of state, Juan Carlos I, restored the monarchy with his accession to the throne; a new constitution in 1978 established a constitutional monarchy.

    "I love visiting cities like Sevilla in the spring during Semana Santa, a festival that takes place in the run-up to Easter," she said. "The streets fill with processions during the day, and the city comes alive with everyone going to the tapas bars at night."

    "Madrid and Barcelona can get busy in the summer season, so I like visiting them in the winter. The Basque country is great in the summer, as cities like San Sebastian have great beaches (not to mention the food!)."

    Food is a strong foundation of Spanish culture. The blend of Arab, Roman, Jewish, and Mediterranean cuisine results in a very exciting mix of ingredients and flavors. 

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Predominant ingredients of Spanish gastronomy include garlic, tomato, pepper, potatoes, beans, and curated meats. 

    The country produces large quantities of high-quality olive oil and wine. 

    Spanish people enjoy a style of appetizer and snack known as tapas. Las tapas are usually a collection of small preparations like cold cuts, cheeses, croquetas (croquettes), calamares (squid), and more.

    There's a fabulous model outside the cathedral in València too, so you can appreciate the structure. It never occurred to me that it could be for the blind as it's so interesting for everyone. And the train station also has a model inside, as it's a really beautiful old building, that's not usually appreciated when you're rushing for a train. I wonder if all Spanish cities do this?

    "Once you're in Spain, getting around by train can be a great way to travel between major cities," A Lady in London said. "It's more difficult from smaller cities, though, so make sure to plan ahead and check schedules."

    "Getting off the beaten path can be rewarding, too. Places like Galicia get fewer visitors than popular destinations like the Costa del Sol."

    I'm not sure about the skatepark but imho it would be a great idea to transform less used churches into friendly places for people to meet or hanging out. Less and less people are religious so why waste a great architecture if you can create a safe, cozy space out of it? Like, you know, it would be great to have a wonderous architecture, stained glasses and whatnot AND comfy chairs and coffee.

    I have been to this place. Unfortunately many tourists took some of the 'popcorn' with them, which has already destroyed parts of this beach. Now there are hefty fines if you take some and get caught by the airport security Also the local authorities put up big signs to educate the tourists. Hopefully this will prevent people from destroying this unique beach.

    Snowfalls In Madrid Happen Once In A Lifetime

    Snowfalls In Madrid Happen Once In A Lifetime

    For us, living in Spain, snowdrifts, snow-covered palm and orange trees, fir branches collapsed under the weight of snow, completely stopped traffic, snowmen, frozen ponds in a park with ducks frozen in them, and skiing is something extraordinary that happens once in a lifetime.

    Ducks frozen IN the ice? If that's true, please tell me they weren't left there like that.

    Harvesting Wine Grapes On The Volcanic Hills Of Lanzarote, Spain

    Harvesting Wine Grapes On The Volcanic Hills Of Lanzarote, Spain

    They make optimum use of scarce resources, by hollowing pits out of the volcanic soil to plant crops in the richer inner soil which has higher water content, and protect the plants from desiccating winds. Many of the growing pits here are over 100 years old, and farming remains a family affair that brings generations together for harvest season of shared food and labor.

    Well, i live where those buildings are in the background, and i take that way to my work everyday, and yes, it´s like that. I used to have a scooter and when you have this temperature you feel like you are going to become a espantaneus fireball. But it´s been like that every summer, just a few days when is a heat-wave, but we are used to. Just look at how many cars you see at 5:00pm... otherwise is a very populated area...also, that's why we have siesta, no one dares to walk outside at this time, just the poor tourist

    The ancient walled city of Lugo which you pass through. This city is deeply rooted in roman and Celtic culture/history. El cathedral de Santiago. The bottom half is built with a roman architecture influence. The top half is of the baroque architecture style. Everyone should do this pilgrimage at some point in their lives, even if they aren’t Catholic.

    This is very confusing, I would assume it’s what direction they are heading, not coming from. But I still wouldn’t pay attention to it anyway. It’s engraved in my head, look left, right & left again before crossing an intersection or street on foot or in a vehicle. It the US, that is what we are taught in drivers ed. https://www.dmv-written-test.com/question/before-you-enter-an-intersection-you-should-look-to-your_VyvVVJyG.html

    Google maps often doesn't work brilliantly in the city, because there are so many different signals pinging at it - it'll be fine on the open road, then suddenly get confused in the city, especially if you're driving at any kind of speed. It sometimes has you driving round in circles! Maybe that's why he's looking something up.

    where we live there are only about 100 people (remote part of a Spanish island). As far as I know, we're the literal only ´gays in the village´ and we're accepted foreigners. However, every year they paint the little town bench in a rainbow for pride. Despite religious culture, the islands and Spain are one of the most naturally accepting 'no fuss, whatever' places we have ever lived in
