Spain Off The Beaten Path
 Sort by: Most Recent | Best Rated | Author's Order

Off The Beaten Path: Spanish Sky
  • Tip Rating:
  • I remember a famous song from a Lebanese famous singer *Moulhem Barakat* in the Middle East, the title is Viva Espana!
    and the words of the song goes:
    I loved you , you the happiness of a stranger
    Eh Vivia Espana!
    You sky is as if its our sky
    Eh Vivia Espana!
    Your air is like our air
    Eh Vivia Espana!

    And indeed, I felt many things in that song are true, Spanish sky, beautiful sunny weather, and air and the emotional people and the landscapse are very similar to those in the Middle East!
