What do Spaniards eat for breakfast?

How did flies contribute to the creation of tapas?

In this book, you will learn about the history and geography of Spain and learn all about the Spanish fiestas, the tomato battle and the slumbering championship. You will read about traditional Chupa Chups snacks and lollipops. You will visit Barcelona with its undulating buildings and magical Andalusia, a land like in the ''Book of the Thousand and One Nights''. You will meet seductive Don Juan, beautiful Carmen and crazy Don Quixote.
Ready?
¡Buen viaje! - good way!

The series ''World for the Inquisitive'' presents the culture of different countries: it tells about places, characters, monuments, dishes and concepts that almost everyone has heard about, but few really know the stories behind them - as well as less known ones that are worth knowing .
