Links

The following links will put you on to sites which cover far more information than we ever pretend to achieve. Some are up to date, others a little old. We cannot agree with all the sites' philosophies or presentations or links, but they offer additional information which we need not repeat here.

The CIA's and BBC's pages are naturally well maintained, sticking to essentials, but somewhat limited. Wikipedia, on the other hand, is almost unlimited in extension. The Spanish National Statistics Institute is a rather specialised page for those really keen to keep their figure. For 2002's figures, see Spain in figures on the INE page. The official pages are informative of that sort of thing, while the tourist sites are cluttered with propaganda, but otherwise have a wealth of interesting information.
