Talk about your country

This may be interesting and we all will learn new things about other places in the world 
I will start:
Spain
Spain is a warm country placed in the west of Europe. Easily noticeable from the space since it forms a peninsula along with Portugal.
We are about 40 millions of dudes (and ladies haha).
The capital is Madrid, whose football team (Real Madrid) is more known around the globe than the city itself! Talking about football, the Spanish league is considered the best in the world, and the Real Madrid is supposed to be the best team. Not everybody agrees on this (i.e. Me! )
Other featured sportsmen are Rafael Nadal, a tenis player who is called to be the next Agassi, and Fernando Alonso who today is leading the Formula 1 world championship. Both of them are young and healthy.
About music, I guess the most known Spanish artist is Alejandro Sanz who has recently made a new song with Shakira (no , she isnt spanish). And who doesn't know these songs?:
Las Ketchup - Aserejé and Los del rio - Macarena?
More: I bet you didnt know this: The most important invent made by a Spanish man is the submarine. Here is a photo of the 1st submarine ever, made by Carlos Casado.
The orography of Spain is amazingly varied considering its relative small size. There are lots of beaches and sea it is a peninsula. There is mountain, there is .--- everything. The weather is very varied aswell. In the north it's cold (-5º/+25ºC) , in the south it's hot (+15º/+45ºC). Down there you can breath the African atmosphere!
Spaniards are nice by default We don't live for work, we work for live 
The vacations period is often the longest of Europe/world. School holidays last 3+ months!. So we have much free time and nobody thinks of work ROFL! Dude, our whole life is a nonstop party. The kids begin going out to pubs at 14 years old, I used to arrive home at 11pm at that age. Then at 18years old most of guys spend the weekend nights out there till the sun is in the sky When I visited Italy and other countries nbody used to go out there,
Ibiza is the icon of the night party worldwide counting with the biggest clubs and the best DJs specially during the summer.
Oh the Spanish car brand is Seat which actually belongs to the VW group. Here are the 4 main models of Seat (they all are called like some spanish cities): Ibiza, Cordoba, Leon, Toledo and the best Seat ever the Cupra GT oh yeah! Cupra GT rules!
Economy: mmm We live better than most of other countries in the world but not as well as germans or Americans do. However, an American girl who is loving here right now assures that life is cheaper here and the life quality is better
Who knows.
The average salary is 1400€/month the minimum legally is 500/month for a 40 hours per week job. Airplane pilots win 7000€/month Houses are expensive, from 150,000€ to 400,000€. New cars are from 12,000€ (206, Ibiza) to 30,000(BMW 330, Jaguar S...) the most common models.
And Im tired of talking about Spain. Your turn!!
