= Un Viaje a España = = = = A NEW WIKIPAGE HAS BEEN ADDED WITH ADDITIONAL SITES TO RESEARCH YOUR INFORMATION. = = Task =

Our Spanish class is taking on a new enterprise: we are becoming a travel agency specializing in travel to Spain. Simple trips to just Madrid and Barcelona will no longer satisfy our worldly customers who want to get to know the country “region by region.” ===== We will devise trips to the different autonomous regions of Spain. These areas comprise five “different Spain’s,” so called because the regions they contain are different in terms of climate, geography and cultural heritage. In general, one can distinguish between Northern Spain, Inland Spain, Mediterranean Spain, Southern Spain, and Island Spain.

Your mission will be to devise a wiki to showcase a designated area of Spain. Your wiki should cater to the needs of a family of four who live in the Philadelphia area: two educated parents who are mainly interested in visiting the culturally historic sites of your assigned region and two teenagers, one daughter aged 18 and one son aged 16, who needless to say are looking for a more recreational, “outdoor fun” kind of adventure. Money is no object, so you do not have to worry about that. Perform your research using websites listed below. This will introduce you to important aspects of your region that need to be considered before helping people plan a trip there. =====

1. Choose the autonomous region that you will research. 2. Research your area using websites provided below. [|http][|://www.Spaintour.com/regions.htm] [] [] []

3. Using Microsoft Word create a document which contains all your information. You should tell us about two major cities or towns in your area, the weather of the area, the food that is special about your region, and the cultural destinations, such as museums, athletic competitions, or musical performances. 4. Add pictures of the sites you want the family to visit. 5. Write captions to the pictures in Spanish.
