04/05/2010Introducing Country Facts in Spain

Introducing Country Facts in Spain If you’re searching for facts on Spain, look no further than our Country Facts section.

Planning a trip to or just arrived in Spain? If you’re searching for country facts, we’ve got it covered. Expatica Spain’s country factbook offers an in-depth profile of the country, covering geography, people, government, economy, communications, transportation, military and transnational issues. Alternatively, read the tongue-in-cheek article ‘Ten things to know before moving to Spain’ by In the Garlic authors or ‘History of Catalunya in a nutshell’ to find out why American expat Jeremy Holland thinks Catalunya and Spain are worlds apart.

For more practical information, see Expatica’s guides to embassies and consulates in Spain, emergency phone numbers, national and public holidays. Don’t miss out on unique festivals such as Las Fallas in Valencia, Tomatina festival in Bunol and Semana Santa in Seville.

Many of the "facts" are too far out of date given recent events in international and national economics.

utter crap- this factbook is of not use with regard to the 2010 economic climate. regurgitating old stories is pointless

Wait till 2012 before deciding to move to Spain. Elections will be held then and maybe your dollar will buy more, but beware local corruption if you plan to buy a house!!
