Spain has such a tremendous amount regional diversity that one is almost dealing with this country as a mini continent. The Costa's - Spain's huge coastline - differs greatly from the geographic nature of the big cities, which in turn differs greatly from the environment of the thousands of picturesque rural villages, which is again is different from the mountainous regions of Andorra or Granada.
