The name of the country, Spain derive from Hispania from the first civilization that wasn't iberian.

The currency of Spain is the Euro-> €, like in almost Eurupe.

In spain there are more than one languages: There is the castilian, the catalan and valencian that is more or less the same, the Galician, the Aranés and the Basque.

The catalan is oficial in Ctalunya and in the islands Balears, the valencian in the Valencian community, the galician in Galicia, the basque in the "Pais vasco" and in one part of Navarra, and the Anranés in the Arans's valley.

The more important religion of Spain is the catholicism, there are a lot of people who belive in God and in Spain there are a week who is "La semana santa" when there are a lot of catholicism's processions. The 79,4% say that belive in God.

In Spain there are several importants days like: the day of the work( 1 of May) the day of the constitution( 6 of December) this day is when the costitutios was aprovated, the day of "todos los santos"(1 of November)...

Spain is a Monarchy that the king is Juan Carlos I, but there are a democratic government that is select democracyment each four years. Now the president of Spain is Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatatero of the PSOE.

I think that he is great. Last year, in 2008, there will be next elections and I wish that the PSOE or "Izquierda unida" win it.

Food--

In Spain is very typical to eat "paella" and is very typical the ham too.

Celebrations--

In Spain for example, there are very famus "Las corridas de toros" that is celebrate in one bullrig where there is one bullfighter and one bull and the bullfighter fight the bull and after he kill him... I don't like nothing this celebration but in Spain is a tradition and in almoust towns and cyties there are a bullrig.
