Its splendid beauty and an absolutely privileged geographic and strategic setting - straddling Europe, of which is part, and Africa - has made Spain since ancient times a crossroads, a point of encounter between East and West. The cultural and ethnic diversity, mixture of civilizations that had come here finding it an irresistible place to settle, have left behind the a unique, original culture which has proved to be an admirable experiment in synthesis. Spain, which has been Iberian, Celtic, Greek, Phoenician, Jewish, Roman, Gothic, Moorish, and finally Christian, so often conquered and, later, a conqueror, has managed to integrate all its disparate heritages into a modern, vibrant country, whose inhabitants, proud of their aged and ancient land, have decidedly taken on the challenge of the future. Spain is today a member of the European Union, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the OECD.
