Due to its strategic placement between Africa and Europe, Spain was developed by different cultural and artistic influences of several civilizations such as the Celtics, the Phoenicians, the Carthaginians, Visigoths and the Romans. Thanks to these influences, Spain is the third country with the highest number of UNESCO World Heritage designations.

Spain used to be one of the cultural centers of Europe for thousands of years, so it has extraordinary artistic heritage. Some of the world’s most prolific artists were born in Spain, like Francisco de Goya, Pablo Picasso, Juan Gris, Joan Miró and Salvador Dalí, and many more.

Another important part of Spanish culture is its stunning architecture, ranging from Gothic cathedrals to Gaudi’s modernist sculptures in Barcelona. Music is also a significant part of Spanish culture – the classical guitar was invented in Andalusia and Flamenco music & dance is Spanish national symbol.

Today, Spain is one of the most visited countries on the planet, renowned for its fantastic beaches, easy-going and friendly people, lots of sunshine, delicious food and beautiful scenery, which make it the perfect sailing destination.
