Spain is more than bullfights, flamenco dancers and crowded beaches. It's a
spectacular and diverse country, the north resembling the rolling, green hills
of Ireland and the south giving you a taste of Moroccan landscapes and
architecture. Its tremendous history is reflected in its prehistoric cave
paintings, Moorish palaces, crumbling castles, Roman ruins, Gothic and
Renaissance cathedrals as well as some very unique modern architecture.

4th century AD. Under Roman influence the population reached a high level of
civilization and enjoyed a flourishing commerce. Important cities such as Geneva
Basel and Zurich were linked by military roads that also served as trade
arteries between Rome and the northern tribes.
