What are some deserts in Spain?
Interesting question. Spain has some small but very interesting deserts. These are some of them:Desierto de Tabernas. This is the biggest and best-known, with more than 280 square kilometres, in the province of Almería, in the South-East of the Iberian Peninsula. In different areas it’s quite similar to North American Far West, Northern African or Arabian deserts, and it has some moon-like landscapes as well. Because of that, it has featured in a lot of films (including almost all Spaghetti Westerns, ask Clint Eastwood or John Wayne about that).Desierto de Monegros. In the Ebro valley between Huesca and Zaragoza, in Aragón, North East of the Peninsula, it has also featured in some (less-known) films and is protected by the EU as a singular unique landscape in Europe.Bárdenas Reales. This other “big” one is in Navarra, North Spain. There’s a big area here used by the Spanish Airforce for bombing and shooting practices and, given its geography, it was a perfect hiding place for bandoleros (Spanish bandits).Desierto de Gorafe. Hidden in Granada, in South Spain, this is one of the most barren lands in Spain. Long time ago there was water there, and it’s a great place to find fossils and prehistoric megalithic constructions.Desierto Canario. Being as close as they are to the Sahara, about 60% of the total surface of the Canary Islands are desertic areas (75% in Gran Canaria, 95% in Lanzarote and Fuerteventura), with a notable landscape variety.Gran Canaria:Lanzarote:Tenerife:

What are some superstitions in Spain.?
Arturo Bartolomé describes superstitions from three different parts of Spain—the region of Galicia, the city of Madrid, and the city of Salamanca. - In Spain, we are especially religious. For this reason, the common superstitions are connected with the Catholic religion. I will write about three superstitions of different parts of my country. In the north of Spain, there is a big region which is called Galicia. This region is traditionally a land of witches and incantations. A Santa Compaña is a long line of dead people who walk through the forests of Galicia at night. People say if you see this line of people, you will follow them for all of Eternity. If you don't want to follow them for all of eternity, you should stay at home when the moon is full. In Madrid, there is a little chapel close to the river which is called Ermita de San Isidro. On May 15, all the single women go to this chapel with pins and they put them on a vessel. Tradition says if they prick their finger with the pins, they will find a husband. For this reason, there are always a lot of people who come to the chapel on this day. If they don't wake up early, they will have to wait in a long line to enter the chapel. Salamanca has a famous university known all over the world. There are many students there, and they have a lot of traditions and superstitions. In front of one of the doors at the university, there is a frog carved on the wall. Before tests, many students come to this door. They think if they touch this frog with their hands, they will have good luck on the test. If they forget to do this, they won't be successful. These are three traditions from my country. People sometimes believe in them. In my opinion, they are traditions to main
