Hemispheric
The Hemispheric looks like half an eye, the reflection completing the image. The Palau de les Arts Reina Sofía is an opera house with striking angles that make it look like it wears a motorcycle helmet under a mullet. There are similarities with the architecture of the Sydney Opera House. The Museu de les Ciències Príncipe Felipe is a science museum, famous for its interactive exhibits but perhaps more impressive on the outside. These three buildings are close together, and near to the Oceanographic, said to be Europe's largest aquarium, and L'Umbracle, an arched walkway.

Costa Del Sol

Costa Del Sol

The Costa Del Sol is much busier and more full of life than other areas of the Spanish coast. With hundreds of miles of spotless beach in Malaga alone it is no wonder why people choose to move to the area.
The majority of hotels, bars, clubs and housing is built within a few miles of the beach areas, meaning that you will never be far from the famously popular beaches and sea in the Costa Del Sol.
The benefit of living close to and using Cost Del Sol's beaches is that you will be able to take advantage of the many facilities available.

Kingdom of Castile
Kingdom of Castile was one of the medieval kingdoms of the Iberian Peninsula. It emerged as a political autonomous entity in the 9th century. It was called County of Castile and was held in vassalage from the Kingdom of León. Its name comes from the host of castles constructed in the region. It was one of the kingdoms that founded the Crown of Castile, and the Kingdom of Spain.

Castile–La Mancha

SPAIN
Castile–La Mancha

Castile–La Mancha is an autonomous community of Spain. Castile–La Mancha is bordered by Castile and León, Madrid, Aragon, Valencia, Murcia, Andalusia, and Extremadura. It is one of the most sparsely populated of Spain's autonomous communities. Its capital city is Toledo, and its most populous city is Albacete.
Castile–La Mancha was formerly grouped with the province of Madrid into New Castile (Castilla la Nueva), but with the advent of the modern Spanish system of autonomous regions (Estado de las autonomías), it was separated due to great demographic disparity between the capital and the remaining New-Castilian provinces. Also, distinct from the former New Castile, Castile–La Mancha added the province of Albacete, which had been part of Murcia; adding Albacete placed all of La Mancha within this single region.

Castile and León


SPAIN
Castile and León

Castile and León is an autonomous community in north-western Spain. It was so constituted in 1983 and it comprises the historical regions of León and Old Castile (Spanish: Castilla la Vieja). It is the largest autonomous community in Spain, covering an area of 94,223 square kilometres (36,380 sq mi) with an official population of around 2.5 million (2011).
The organic law of Castile and León, under the Spanish Constitution of 1978, is the region's Statute of Autonomy. The statute lays out the basic laws of the region and defines a series of essential values and symbols of the inhabitants of Castile and León, such as their linguistic patrimony (the Castilian language, which English speakers commonly refer to simply as Spanish, as well as Leonese and Galician), as well as their historic, artistic, and natural patrimony. Other symbols alluded to are the coat of arms, flag, and banner; there is also allusion to a regional anthem, though as of 2009 none has been adopted. April 23 is designated Castile and León Day, commemorating the defeat of the comuneros at the Battle of Villalar during the Revolt of the Comuneros, in 1521.
