Spain is a country rich in history, culture, and breathtaking landscapes. One of its most famous landmarks is El Camino de Santiago de Compostela, a pilgrimage road that attracts thousands of travelers each year seeking spiritual enlightenment. In the region of Castile, you can witness the courtship behavior of the little owl pair perched on ancient trees, adding charm to Spain's diverse wildlife. Barcelona, known for its architectural wonders, boasts the iconic Sagrada Familia Cathedral designed by Antoni Gaudi. This masterpiece stands as a testament to Spain's artistic brilliance and draws visitors from around the world. As we explore Spain further on our map journey, we come across Portugal, its neighboring country with shared historical ties. The medieval maps depict an era when both nations were intertwined in their conquests and cultural exchanges. The Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Galicia holds immense religious significance as it marks the final destination for pilgrims who complete El Camino de Santiago. Its grandeur leaves visitors awestruck and inspired by centuries-old devotion. Moving through time, we encounter Martin Luther defending himself before Holy Roman Emperor Charles V at the Diet in Worms during 1521. This event shaped European history and reflects Spain's role during religious reformations. The Catalan Atlas from the 14th century showcases Spain's cartographic achievements while Park Guell exemplifies Barcelona's modern-day allure with its vibrant colors and unique architecture blending seamlessly into nature. Satellite images reveal Tenerife's stunning beauty with its diverse landscapes ranging from volcanic formations to lush greenery. Meanwhile, Majorca captivates us with picturesque views of its port and marina seen from Polenca's pine walk - a true Mediterranean paradise. Lastly, let us not forget Spain's ancient past depicted through maps showing Roman Republic battles against Carthage during the Second Punic War (218-201 BC). These historical events shaped Iberian Peninsula's destiny and contributed to Spain's rich heritage.
