Andorra is a tiny country located in southwestern Europe, with an area of just 468 square kilometers. Despite its small size, Andorra boasts a rich history and unique traditions that are deeply rooted in its Catalan origins. The country is situated in the eastern Pyrenees, between France and Spain, and has a population of approximately 77,000 people. The official languages of Andorra are Catalan, Spanish, and French, and the country has two co-princes, the President of France and the Bishop of Urgell in Spain. Andorra is renowned for its picturesque scenery, with mountains, valleys, and rivers creating breathtaking landscapes.

Andorra is also home to a number of historic landmarks, including the old stone bridge of Pont de la Margineda and the iconic medieval castle of Sant Joan de Caselles.

Book Description
New Mexico's Spanish legacy has informed the cultural traditions of one of the last states to join the union for more than four hundred years, or before the alluring capital of Santa Fe was founded in 1610. The fame the region gained from artist Georgia O'Keefe, writers Lew Wallace and D.H. Lawrence and pistolero Billy the Kid has made New Mexico an international tourist destination. But the Spanish annals also have enriched the Land of Enchantment with the factual stories of a superhero knight, the greatest queen in history, a saintly gent whose coffin periodically rises from the depths of the earth and a mysterious ancient map. Join author Ray John de Aragón as he reveals hidden treasure full of suspense and intrigue.

Book Description
First published in 1920, The Music of Spain deals with historical periods, schools and style and appears to embrace everything related to music provided it affects or is affected by Spain in some degree, no matter how small or insignificant. The period extends from the sixteenth century to the early twentieth century and the author encircles his subject in a huge ring or parenthesis that opens with Antonio Cabezon, the Spanish Bach (according to Pedrell) and closes with the gypsy dancer and singer Pastora Imperio, queen of the Spanish “varieties” stage of today. It brings themes like Spain and music; the land of joy; and from George Borrow to Mary Garden. This book is an important historical reference for students and scholars of history of music, Spanish music.
