A great book to get a feel about Spain. We are traveling to Argentina soon so I thought my wife and I could read the book quickly and get some info that might relate to one of Spain's colonies. 77% of Spain's population is in cities. I have had a churro before but didn't know they are from Spain. I did not know that the southern tip of Spain is only 8 miles from Africa. The Cantabrian Mountains is one range there, I had never heard of. There are a lot of rare animals there like the white-headed duck and the Spanish imperial eagle and the mouflon, a type of wild sheep. Spain grows a lot of oranges, lemons, and strawberries. They of course have bullfights. A lot of interesting things in this book.

I like the bill because it tells me about the informations about Spain and I also want to learn about Spain. My favorite part of the book was the part that tells the informations of Spanish foods because I like to learn about the foods from different countries. I will recommend this book to 9 years old to 12 years old because the words is not difficult and it tells informations about Spain

It did not have some of the components that I think are essential when talking about Spain. 🇪🇸 I love the kids excitement and intrigue when talking about San Fermin, the running of the bulls.
