A country located on the Iberian Peninsula in South Western Europe. Its official language is Spanish. It is known for bullfights, tomato fights, and fighting the French. It has great food, wine and sports teams, especially in basketball and football (soccer for you yanks out there) The Spanish are also known in history for being great navigators of the ocean. The are credited with the first to circumnavigate the globe and to "discover" and settle America (Never mind that the two lads who accomplished these things were Portuguese and Italian respectively). During and after World War 2 Spain was subject to a fascist dictatorship under Franco. While he was a brutal dictator he also did some good things for Spanish nationalism and the economy of Spain. Ironically as soon as he died Spain lost the words to their national anthem and the economy began to deteriorate.
Portugal is NOT the capital of Spain, Madrid is.

Did you see Spain destroy Greece at basketball? If only they knew how to play football like that.
