All true enoughbut how closely does everyday life in modern Spain conform to these dramatic stereotypes? This book explores the complex human realities of contemporary Spanish life. It describes how Spains history and geography have created both strongly felt regional differences and shared values and attitudes.

The better you understand the Spanish people, the more you will be enriched by your experience of this vital, warm, and varied countrywhere the individual is important and the enjoyment of life is paramount.
