Spain is usrely a place that I really wnats to visit. However, I don't speak any Spanish at all and I know nothing about the country as well. when I think of this country, it three things will alwyas comes up to my mind :1.guitar. I like the Spanish guitar and the music are alwyas so lovely. 2.The Spanish dance. It always make s me feel that their dance is very beautiful and interesting as well.I think it will be a good way for me to do weight loss3.The bull fight. I don't think it is too nice to kill the bulls all the times but it is alwyas their culture anyway.What about you?

Oh yes. I almost forgot.Of course "the soccer". Since they have just won the last world cup, how could we forget that. They played so well in this world cup and it was just so amazing to see how they could gone through all the difficulties. Their coach was very good in this world cup and the strategy he used was so powerful and nobody can beat them.I don't know too much about their team but still remember Bacelona.It is just a great soocer player team that almost everyone knows it. I still remember one more thing apart from their soccer and that is the cap of their soldiers are so unique. It wasn't like all the other countries. It really looks like those hero who always wear in the bull fight on their head. The shape was so interesting and I think it is the same in their army today.Ha ha ha. I know their food are alwyas great as well. I would love to try it more. I don;t usually eat the Spainish food in my city since they are all very expensive but I still rememebr some Spainish restaurant in my city . I also want to learn Spainish as well, but I know it is alwyas hard to learn a third language with my second language(English). But as long as it is fun and help me to grow . It is alwyas a good thing to learn something new. I may not be a good Spanish speaker, but at least I can learn some of their language. It may help me to enjoy my trip to Spain in the future if I can have the opportunity somedays in the future. Do I wnat to go there. Yes, definitely. Actually I want to go to everywhere in Europe. Enjoy thier food and get to know their people and culture. Of course to have sight seeing everywhere in Europe as well. I hope my dream will come true some days in the future.

Whenever I think of Spain, it is automatic that that the history of my country comes into play too. Spaniards had ruled my country for so may years with so many atrocities and abuses. They were even very stingy because they did not taught us their language unlike United States who shared their language to us thus we speak English. I do not have personal grudge towards them though but I just thought I could have learn Spanish too if they taught us.

Flamenco, sea, sunshine, great architecture, and Luis Bunuel, one of my favorite film directors. I'd love to visit Spain, especially since I can speak a little Spanish. It must be a beautiful country.

Spain is a country in Southern Europe and it is only a 2 hour flight away from my home country. Many of the people from my home country go on holiday to mainland Spain and the islands that belong to Spain. The capital city of Spain is called Madrid and I flew via there to Colombia last month. I went to one of the Canary Islands for a trip when I was 20 years. The one thing I hate about mainland Spain is the bull fighting because it is sick in this day and age. I love animals and eat a vegan diet. I like Spain and its people. I joined a Spanish language class for one term. I have visited countries where Spanish is the language: Mexico, Guatemala and Colombia.

Spain is a very romantic country to think of. It will always make me think of charging bulls, handsome bullfighters and beautiful senoritas. It is difficult to think of any of these things without thinking of the rest.

The first thing that comes to my mind is Hemingway and bull fighting. The second thing is the spanish guitar and its music. The third thing are the Spanish people I've met. I had a lady from Spain who was my second Spanish instructor in college. I've also met some Spanish people on the Internet. So I have some good thoughts about Spain too.
