Are you ready to test your knowledge? Let's play!
Well done! That's the right answer! If you visit this museum in Madrid and see this painting for yourself, you'll be amazed. Nearly eight metres long, it's a heartfelt denunciation of the barbarism of war. But there is still room for hope: did you notice the flower in the hand of the figure lying down?
Well done! That's the right answer! The mining district of Riotinto, in Huelva, has such unique landscapes that NASA scientists have come here to study its similarities to the planet Mars. But it isn't the only fascinating place in Spain - we also have the path that was once the most dangerous in the world, and even somewhere rumoured to be the legendary Atlantis.
Well done! That's the right answer! So why not reward yourself by making the most of these nearly 8,000 kilometres and enjoying some of the best beaches in the world.
Well done! That's the right answer! The art of Altamira was painted between 35,000 and 13,000 years ago. Isn't that incredible? Later, it would inspire artists like Miró and Tapies. Today, access to this cave, a World Heritage site, is limited, but you can visit a museum where an exact replica has been created.
Well done! That's the right answer! In fact, the potato omelette is also known as Spanish omelette. And if you have a delicious ingredient like olive oil, why not use it? You can also add extra touches: brava sauce, chorizo, etc. By the way, now you've seen the video… are you going to try your hand at a Spanish omelette?
Well done! That's the right answer! You will find this monument in Segovia. The history of the Alcázar holds many secrets: Queen Isabella the Catholic left here for her coronation, its chapel was the setting for the marriage of Philip II and Anne of Austria, and it is said to have inspired a Disney castle. If you climb the 152 steps of the spiral staircase of its tower you will be rewarded with some amazing views. And of course, other castles like Loarre and Olite are also well worth a visit.
Well done! That's the right answer! It could only be Toledo, where Christians, Muslims and Jews lived side by side for centuries. On a stroll around this city you'll find synagogues, mosques, churches and the splendid cathedral. You'd like to see it, wouldn't you?
Well done! That's the right answer! This fun “battle” of tomatoes takes place on the last Wednesday of August in Buñol (Valencia). More than 20,000 people have good clean fun with these unusual missiles. If you want to go, you'll have to reserve a ticket, and we recommend wearing clothes you don't mind getting stained. If you want to spend the night, just book a room in advance.
Well done! That's the right answer! Although if you're a fan of the series you probably already knew… The sixth season features the Bardenas Reales Natural Park, which Queen Daenerys Targaryen crosses on horseback. But scenes were also filmed in Girona, Santa Florentina castle in Canet de Mar, Zafra castle in Guadalajara, and Peñíscola castle. And Seville, Osuna and Córdoba also appeared in the fifth season.
Well done! That's the right answer! The dragon appears at 0:21 in the video. Is that the one you saw? It's the Dragon Staircase at Park Güell, one of the most enchanting places in this Barcelona park, designed by Gaudí. This iconic creature is known as the dragon or salamander. If you visit Barcelona, this is a great spot for a selfie.
Well done! That's the right answer! The image is that of the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, the end of the famous Camino de Santiago. Over the centuries, millions of pilgrims have taken these paths through northern Spain to the place where James the Apostle is traditionally said to be buried. Many are inspired by religious motives, but others are inspired by taking in the scenery, overcoming a challenge,...
Well done! That's the right answer! It's the “beautiful island” of the Canary Islands, La Palma. It is the first Starlight Reserve in the world because, in addition to its clear skies, it has one of the best locations for astrophysics: the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory, which you can visit if you book an appointment in advance.
Well done! That's the right answer! Have you already seen these two statues in Madrid? The Bear and Strawberry Tree statue is in Puerta del Sol. It's one of the symbols of Madrid and a prime spot for tourist selfies. The statue of the Fallen Angel in Retiro Park, one of the prettiest city parks in Europe.
Well done! That's the right answer! It may not be visible from space or the longest in the world, but the City Wall of Ávila is unique in the excellent condition of its perimeter, over 2,500 metres, with 87 towers and 9 city gates. Did you know that Ávila is a World Heritage City? In Spain we have 15.
Well done! That's the right answer! Almería is home to the Tabernas Desert, the only true desert on the continent of Europe. Its landscapes have been the setting for many films and you can still find old Western towns there, with sharp-shooters and horses to ride… There is such a wide variety of nature in Spain that you can find anything from deserts to vast forests.
Well done! That's the right answer! If you visit the Drach Caves, you can attend a classical music concert with lighting effects simulating the sun coming up from the water, and take a boat ride on Lake Martel. It's a fascinating place to visit. But the Gruta de las Maravillas and the Jameos del Agua are just as interesting.
