Spain

In 1561, the King of Spain moved the capital to Madrid, and today Madrid has become the political, economic and cultural center of Spain. Madrid has the Spanish Royal Palace, Puerta del Sol (Gate of the Sun) and the Parque del Buen Retiro (Retiro Park). The Real Madrid football club is the pride of the local people.

Located on the beautiful Mediterranean coast, Barcelona is the capital of Catalonia, Spain. Architects such as Antoni Gaudí and Lluís Domènech i Montaner brought artistic masterpieces such as The Basílica de la Sagrada Família and the Casa Milà to Barcelona. In 1992, the Olympic Games were held in Barcelona, for the first time in the history of Spain.
