From the Back Cover
ESPÑANA—VIBRANTE, BELLA, MARAVILLOSA

A vineyard in the shadow of snowy Sierra de Tolono. Flamenco dancers in bright flowered dresses. Sunbathing in Torremolinos. Tiled fountains and crumbling Roman Ruins. Camels in Timanfaya National Park. El Prado, a plate of tender squid with olive oil. Turreted city walls, the view across El Tajo Gorge, jamón Serrano, and hiking El Camino de Santiago trail.

In Spain, where a progressive spirit mingles with a healthy reverence for tradition, a profusion of pleasures await the visitor. Featuring hundreds of full-color photographs and text by Penelope Casas, this calendar is an enticing portrait of Spain's colorful, idiosyncratic, sun-soaked soul—from energetic Madrid to Las Rías Gallegas to the volcanic landscapes of Lanzarote.

365 Days in Spain :Picture-A-Day Wall Calendar 2008
I really loved this calendar because it brought back wonderful memories
of the towns which I have visited in Spain. It also helped me to decide
other towns which I would like to visit in the future. The photography
was excellent and I really loved the thumbnail photos for each day. Use of this technique certainly conveys the spirit of the various places in this colorful and marvelous country! The synopsis provided "just enough" information about each town. I look forward to purchasing the 2009 edition.

Great Calendar
I love this calendar! I get a new one each year. It reminds us of our trip to Spain several years ago. Also, the boxes are large enough that you can easily write what you need in them.
