Cosmopolitan Spain Traveler Fall 2018

Letter from the Editor

One of the key features of Spain is its great variety of geography, climate, landscapes, culture, traditions, festivals, cuisine… Each time you go to Spain you will discover different experiences that will remain part of you. With the most relevant biodiversity in Europe and a wide network of pro- tected territories, Spain combines the discovery of nature with cultural manifestations, which makes it a great place to enjoy ecotourism. If you are an ecotourist, you not only will visit a natural protected area, but you will also be living a memorable experience, contributing to the conserva- tion of nature and to the well-being of the local population. As a region of “crossing cultures”, a privileged climate, and welcoming destination, the region of Murcia offers a wide range of possibilities: experiencing its millenary culture through its fabulous Arab medinas, Roman vestiges, Christian castles and churches, along with the ancient Roman theater in Cartagena, and its emblematic Cathedral in the city of Murcia. But you cannot miss the extensive cultural programming offered by El Batel Auditorium and Conference Centre, located in the Port of Cartagena. Enjoying Green Spain implies getting to know the meaning of the spirit of the north, traveling its 500 miles for admiring and savoring their pal- aces and wineries. Along the Cantabrian coast you will be admiring the Palace of Charles V in San Sebastian, the GuggenheimMuseum in Bilbao, the Magdalena Palace in Santander, modernist mansions in Asturias, and country houses in Galicia; but don’t forget that along the way, you will be savoring their wines.
