Spain Land of Contrasts - Travel Video.

DVD. Client Denn Digital Camera. 65 Minutes. Spain has always evoked romantic visions: Sun clad Mediterranean beaches;ancient castles;blustery Atlantic fishing ports;high mountain Pyrenees villages; Toledo Steel;and Don Quixote tilting at windmills. The varied landscape, with Europe's second largest plain to the south and mountains higher than the Alps to the north, provide marked contrasts in climate, vegetation, and customs. To compliment the beautiful and varied land are some of Europe's great cities. Three of these are UNESCO World Historical Monuments; Toledo, Salamanca, and Santiago de Compostela. Rich in architectural grandeur, these cities, and many more, show over 2,000 years of splendor so extensive that it seems almost too much to absorb. Spain's 400 years of close trade ties with Greece, 500 years of Roman rule, and 700 years under the Moors is evident today in its diversity and its people. Include stops to enjoy the people, their customs and food along the way. Sleep in the castle, dine in a palace, tilt at a windmill, and even venture into Spanish Africa. You can do all this and more in CLINT DENN's "Spain, Land of Contrasts".
