Yep. They had a significant presence in Spain for over 700 years, and ruled most of the Iberian peninsula for most of that time. A lot of Spanish culture comes from that period of Muslim rule, for example flamenco music. The beginning of the Spanish Empire, which was the first empire on which the sun never set, began with the Reconquista, the expulsion of the Muslim presence by Catholic forces. It finished in 1492 and was presided over by Ferdinand and Isabella, the rulers who sponsored Christopher Columbus' voyage to the New World. I've included a link to a handy timeline.

This may help you:\nhttp://www.zum.de/whkmla/histatlas/europe/eu1550large.GIF\n\nThat is a map of Europe from 1550.  That lists 32 different divisions.  That is not an exact number though, it may depend on the exact year and what exactly you are considering to be "Europe."

it's in Europe, the capital is Madrid, they are the country that hold the bullfights, bull runs, and even a tomato festival where once a year huge crates of tomatoes go into the streets and they literally have food fight of tomatoes! Plus they speak Spanish. ;)\n\nI know my answer was lame, but I thought saying Spain had "hott guys" was lamer. *shrugs*

Monleón is one of the oldest towns and greater historical resonance of Salamanca.\n   In Castilian Annals is mentioned Leocaput, place where after the famous battle of the Pit of Simancas, the overcome army of Abderramán III had in its retirement a last encounter with the allied forces of Ramiro II the 21 of August of 939, being left the Cordovans totally dispersed.\n\n~ Definitively had to be conquered Monleón by the followers of Alfonso I SAW, before the 1077, because in that east year Castilian monarch gained the strength of Coria.

I have been to Spain and having a mexican boyfriend lends itself to knowing some Spanish traditions and such.  Lets see, in Spain they used to use the peso but recently converted to Euros as their money.  The weather in the summer in Spain is hot, but it is a dry heat with little humidity.  Some traditional dances are the tango and flamenco.  There is a variety of foods so I am not sure where to start with that.  It really depends on which country in particular.  If I stick with Spain, let's see, they celebrate the running of the bulls in Pamplona (that is where it first began).  They also celebrate three kings day which is something interesting that I did nto realize before traveling there.  Easter is very big there.  The royal family was very mixed up especially during the 1500-1700 because of inbreeding.  Hope this helps a little.
