Old Spain/New Spain

One thing Spain has shown the world is how to seamlessly blend the past into the present. You’ll find this in the transition from its classical architecture into many of its modern masterpieces.

Masters such as Barcelona’s Antonio Gaudi and Valencia’s Santiago de Calatrava, reflect the Romanesque and Gothic traditions of the past in their modern masterpieces.

But you’ll also find this same kind of brilliant timeless transition displayed in its art, its cuisine and even in its Flamenco.
