  2. Wasn’t Salvador Dali from Spain? Or maybe his museum is just there. I don’t know, but I like his weird art.

  3. Julio Iglesias, my late grandmother's second favorite singer, is from Spain.

    I aspire to walk a portion of the Camino de Santiago one day. :)

  4. I thought Placido was Mexican?? I am wrong. I would love to visit Spain and see Barcelona and the AlHambra and the great cathedral of Gotti plus his other works
