España es un Estado nacional cuyo nombre oficial es Reino de España que se encuentra en el sur de Europa occidental y al norte de África. Limita al oeste con Portugal, al noreste con Francia y al sur con Marruecos. Está compuesto por 17 comunidades autónomas y dos ciudades autónomas, y es miembro pleno de la Organización de Naciones Unidas (ONU) y de la Unión Europea. After the war Spain was politically and economically isolated, and was kept out of the United Nations. This changed in 1955, during the Cold War period, when it became strategically important for the US to establish a military presence on the Iberian Peninsula as a counter to any possible move by the Soviet Union into the Mediterranean basin. US Cold War strategic priorities included the dissemination of American educational ideas to foster modernization and expansion. [63] In the 1960s, Spain registered an unprecedented rate of economic growth which was propelled by industrialisation, a mass internal migration from rural areas to Madrid, Barcelona and the Basque Country and the creation of a mass tourism industry. Franco's rule was also characterised by authoritarianism, promotion of a unitary national identity, National Catholicism, and discriminatory language policies.

After the Pyrenees, the main mountain ranges are the Cordillera Cantábrica (Cantabrian Range), Sistema Ibérico (Iberian System), Sistema Central (Central System), Montes de Toledo, Sierra Morena and the Sistema Bético (Baetic System) whose highest peak, the 3,478-metre-high (11,411-foot) Mulhacén, located in Sierra Nevada, is the highest elevation in the Iberian Peninsula. The highest point in Spain is the Teide, a 3,718-metre (12,198ft) active volcano in the Canary Islands. The Meseta Central (often translated as 'Inner Plateau') is a vast plateau in the heart of peninsular Spain split in two by the Sistema Central. After a period of Crown-supported dictatorship from 1923 to 1931, the first elections since 1923, largely understood as a plebiscite on Monarchy, took place: the 12 April 1931 municipal elections. These gave a resounding victory to the Republican-Socialist candidacies in large cities and provincial capitals, with a majority of monarchist councilors in rural areas. The king left the country and the proclamation of the Republic on 14 April ensued, with the formation of a provisional government. The ships' propulsion system consisted of four-shaft Parsons steam turbines and steam was provided by twelve coal-fired water-tube Yarrow boilers. [6] The turbines drove three-bladed screw propellers that had diameters of 2.4 metres (7feet 10inches). Two spare screws were kept aboard each ship. [18] The boilers were trunked into a single funnel that was placed amidships; the funnel's location far from the foremast kept the latter's spotting top free from smoke interference but still rendered the spotting top on the mainmast essentially useless. [19] El flamenco. Es un género musical propio de la región de Andalucía, en el sur de España, que se caracteriza por su canto, su baile y el toque (la guitarra). Los instrumentos usados para ejecutar este género son las castañuelas, las panderetas, las guitarras y los tacos y palmas de los bailarines o público presente.Cantabria. Es una comunidad española ubicada al norte del país. Está formada por una sola provincia y 102 municipios y su capital es la ciudad de Santander. The Protestant Reformation increased Spain's involvement in religiously charged wars, forcing ever-expanding military efforts across Europe and in the Mediterranean. [44] By the middle decades of a war- and plague-ridden 17th-century Europe, the Spanish Habsburgs had enmeshed the country in continent-wide religious-political conflicts. These conflicts drained it of resources and undermined the economy generally. Spain managed to hold on to most of the scattered Habsburg empire, and help the imperial forces of the Holy Roman Empire reverse a large part of the advances made by Protestant forces, but it was finally forced to recognise the separation of Portugal and the United Provinces (Dutch Republic), and eventually suffered some serious military reverses to France in the latter stages of the immensely destructive, Europe-wide Thirty Years' War. [45] In the latter half of the 17th century, Spain went into a gradual decline, during which it surrendered several small territories to France and England; however, it maintained and enlarged its vast overseas empire, which remained intact until the beginning of the 19th century. Galicia. Es una comunidad española situada al noroeste del país y que está formada por cuatro provincias: Lugo, La Coruña, Orense y Pontevedra. Su capital es Santiago de Compostela. Navarra. Es una comunidad española ubicada al norte de la península y tiene capital en la ciudad de Pamplona. Es un territorio uniprovincial que está dividido en 272 municipios. In 1793, Spain went to war against the revolutionary new French Republic as a member of the first Coalition. The subsequent War of the Pyrenees polarised the country in a reaction against the gallicised elites and following defeat in the field, peace was made with France in 1795 at the Peace of Basel in which Spain lost control over two-thirds of the island of Hispaniola. In 1807, a secret treaty between Napoleon and the unpopular prime minister led to a new declaration of war against Britain and Portugal. French troops entered the country to invade Portugal but instead occupied Spain's major fortresses. The Spanish king abdicated and a puppet kingdom satellite to the French Empire was installed with Joseph Bonaparte as king.

A new summit finish on the Puerto de la Cruz de Linares on stage 18 combined with tired legs will make for unpredictable outcomes. Limitando con Portugal, al oeste peninsular, se encuentra Extremadura, formada por las provincias de Badajoz y Cáceres. Su capital regional está en Mérida. Industrialisation, the development of railways and incipient capitalism developed in several areas of the country, particularly in Barcelona, as well as Labour movement and socialist and anarchist ideas. The 1888 Barcelona Universal Exposition and the 1870 Barcelona Labour Congress are good examples of this. In 1879, the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party was founded. A trade union linked to this party, Unión General de Trabajadores, was founded in 1888. In the anarcho-sindicalist trend of the labour movement in Spain, Confederación Nacional del Trabajo was founded in 1910 and Federación Anarquista Ibérica in 1927. Castilla y León. Es una comunidad española situada en el norte de la península y que está dividida en nueve provincias: Ávila, Burgos, León, Palencia, Salamanca, Segovia, Soria, Valladolid y Zamora. El Greco (1541-1614). Es considerado uno de los referentes del Renacimiento español y, aunque era originario de Creta, vivió gran parte de su vida en Toledo. Fue un exponente del manierismo y algunas de sus obras más reconocidas son El caballero de la mano en el pecho, La adoración de los pastores, El entierro del conde de Orgaz y Vista de Toledo.Archaeological research at Atapuerca indicates the Iberian Peninsula was populated by hominids 1.2million years ago. [23] In Atapuerca, fossils have been found of the earliest known hominins in Europe, Homo antecessor. Modern humans first arrived in Iberia from the north on foot about 35,000 years ago. [24] [ failed verification] The best-known artefacts of these prehistoric human settlements are the paintings in the Altamira cave of Cantabria in northern Iberia, which were created from 35,600 to 13,500 BCE by Cro-Magnon. [25] [26] Archaeological and genetic evidence suggests that the Iberian Peninsula acted as one of several major refugia from which northern Europe was repopulated following the end of the last ice age.

The company was founded on July 8, 1716, and was appointed by the Chief Superintendent and General Administrator of the Posts Offices by Philip V, Juan Tomas de Goyeneche t serve the Spanish country. From that time on, Correos de España provided a significant contribution to the advancement of the postal service in Spain. It has undergone many changes such as the rationalization charges after P.O. boxes and newspaper services were established. Pablo Picasso (1881-1973). Nacido en Málaga, se destacó en la pintura y en la escultura, y fue uno de los artistas más influyentes del siglo XX. Junto con Georges Braque desarrolló el cubismo, un movimiento artístico caracterizado por el uso de figuras geométricas. Algunas de sus obras más reconocidas son Guernica, Las señoritas de Avignon, Los tres músicos, Las meninas y Mujer ante el espejo.

Debido a la extensión de su territorio, España cuenta con diferentes costumbres y tradiciones según cada zona. Algunas de las más representativas son: In April 1904, Britain and France reached the Entente Cordiale, putting aside their traditional rivalry to oppose German expansionism. The agreement directly affected Spain because it settled matters of control over Morocco and placed Tangier under joint British–French–Spanish control. The agreement brought Spain closer with Britain and France, leading to an exchange of notes between the three governments in May 1907, by which time a strong cabinet led by Antonio Maura had come to power. The notes created an informal agreement to contain the German-led Central Powers; Britain would concentrate the bulk of the Royal Navy in the North Sea while Spain would contribute its fleet to support the French Navy against the combined fleets of Italy and Austria-Hungary. Britain and France would provide technical assistance to develop new warships for the Spanish fleet. Accordingly, Maura secured passage of the Fleet Plan of 1907, which proposed the construction of three battleships, several destroyers, torpedo boats, and other craft. The construction plan was to last for eight years. Debates over the plan took place in the Cortes Generales (General Courts—the Spanish legislature) until the end of November and a final approval vote on 2 December. The 1907 Fleet Plan was formally signed into law on 7 January 1908.

Esta última, Toledo, es su capital. Así quedó confeccionado el mapa político español tras los Pactos de Autonomía de 1981 y 1992, amparados en el artículo 2 de la Constitución Española que reconoce el derecho a la autonomía y los poderes que engloban sus funciones.

La industria. Se destaca la industria automotriz, la farmacéutica y la agroindustrial como la producción de conservas, fiambres y embutidos. At 505,992km 2 (195,365sqmi), Spain is the world's fifty-second largest country and Europe's fourth largest country. It is some 47,000km 2 (18,000sqmi) smaller than France. Mount Teide ( Tenerife) is the highest mountain peak in Spain and is the third largest volcano in the world from its base. Spain is a transcontinental country, having territory in both Europe and Africa. Since 2018, Spain has faced an institutional crisis surrounding the mandate of the General Council of the Judiciary (CGPJ. [87] The Kingdom of León was the strongest Christian kingdom for centuries. In 1188, the first form (restricted to the bishops, the magnates, and 'the elected citizens of each city') of modern parliamentary session in Europe was held in León ( Cortes of León). [35] The Kingdom of Castile, formed from Leonese territory, was its successor as strongest kingdom. The kings and the nobility fought for power and influence in this period. The example of the Roman emperors influenced the political objective of the Crown, while the nobles benefited from feudalism. Clima frío de montaña. Se extiende por las cadenas montañosas de España, como la cordillera Cantábrica y los Pirineos, y se caracteriza por sus bajas temperaturas y abundantes precipitaciones (que suelen darse en forma de nieve).
