The Romans arrived in 218
BC in Barcelona. As a natural progression of Roman power,
Barcelona, as a seaport and trading center, was important
before Spain became a world power in the 15th century. The
language of the region exemplifies its history: after two
thousand years, Catalan remains distinct. Yet, the history
of Spain shows that immigration and diversity are not new:
Spain, as a nation, has cultural differences rivaled by few.
At the edge of the Mediterranean, Spain has occupied a unique
position, geographically, politically, and culturally, in
world history. Spain today is a modern economic power, member
of the European Union, and bears its history with pride. No
nation can boast the combination of Latin and Arabic art and
science in its arts, in its achievements, like Spain. The
idea of the novel was born in Spain with Cervantes. The exploration
of the Western Hemisphere was financed by Spain, with an Italian
entrepreneur. The battles between Christians and Muslims were
decided mainly in Spain.
Spain
offered, and proffered, interaction between opposing powers
and was one of the first “buffer states.” Spain
was, and is, a bulwark of Catholicism. But as it was a haven
for Jews and Muslims centuries ago, Spain preserves and honors
its heritage. Of course there are the bulls, and the dances
in Sevilla, and even the magnificent Guggenheim Museum in
Bilbao, and the medieval fortress city of Toledo, and the
incomparable Alcazar in Segovia, whose accent is a Roman aqueduct
of enormous proportions. Where Paris titillates, Spain speaks
to the heart.
