Physical Features!

Mulhacén rises to 3482m making it the highest peak in the Iberian Peninsula and continental Spain obusly after Pico de teide .
Culture and traditions,etc..
Spain's main language is Spanish as you all may know. But what you might not know is that there is a part of Spain called Catalunya where they speak Catalan, which is a mixture of French and English. About 76% of the Spanish community are Roman Catholic, 2% belong to other religions and 19% are non-religious. They have many customs and one of them is doing their daily "siesta", which is an hour-long mid-afternoon break they take to have a nap. Even some big stores take the break and close for an hour and a half or more.
I know everybody must think that Spain's national and traditional sport is football, but your wrong. Their traditional sport is bullfighting! But don't worry football is also very important in Spain. The Spaniards adore seafood such as a good "paeia". This famous dish consists of rice cooked and served with a whole lot of "mariscos", fish, shrimp, octopus, etc... They also have another cuisine tradition called "tapas", this is simply a series of little snacks served a couple of hours before having dinner.(Culture of Spain Wikipedia)
