| What
is the connection between a Spanish cathedral and a tram?
Who ‘smashed up’ the south of Spain and left
their mark? Which Spanish painter played tricks with mirrors?
Why are rabbits important in Spanish history? Teach
Yourself World Cultures: Spain answers these questions,
and many more, in a concise and lively overview of Spain:
the country, its languages, its people, their way of life
and culture and what makes them tick.
If you are studying for examinations
which require a knowledge of the background of Spain
and its civilisation, or if you are learning the language,
in, for example, an evening class and want to know more
about the country and how it works, this is the book
for you. If your job involves travel and business relations,
it will provide valuable and practical information about
the ways and customs of the people you are working with.
Or if you simply have an interest in Spain for whatever
reason, it will broaden your knowledge about the country
and its inhabitants.
