Ourense
Spain houses many impressive places of worship, many ancient wonders. All religions are represented in this country but Catholicism remains the most popular religion. Ourense Cathedral reflects the amazing architecture that is easily found in mainland Spain. This beautifully crafted structure was built in the 12th century and provides an interesting visit when in the region.

The traditional dance of Spain is the Flamenco. It is a passionate climate of a dance – building up slowly to a frenzied crescendo. It has the viewer in awe of the intricate steps that both the males and females have to perform. This art form is highly revered throughout Spain, it has been the traditional music and dance of Spain, although it was initially from the Andalucian region. The “guardians of Flamenco” are seen as the gypsies of Spain and the traditions of the dance are passed down to each generation.
Paella
Traditionally, Spaniards eat very well. The focus is on fresh produce and fabulous flavours. Nothing personifies this better than paella, the rice and fish dish that is eaten all over Spain. Legend has it that paella originated in the fields and labourers cooked their lunch on a big fire. Everything they had was thrown into the pot and this dish evolved. There are variations in every region but the basics of rice, chicken and seafood remains the key ingredient to this superb dish.
Beaches
One reason for visiting pain is for its awesome beaches. They are stunning and plentiful.
