Just wondering, where is the gold of the old Spain?
Once in history Spain is one of the mightiest nation in the world. They even conquered and colonized my country, the Philippines for 333 years. And they also did the same in South America and I think that is the reason why most South American countries can speak Spanish. With that, they have accumulated wealth in golds. But what happened to them? Where are those golds now?

Well. They stole the gold from South America in the first place and used their vast gold reserves to expand the empire. Eventually most of it went to china to buy things Europeans couldn't make themself or they used it.
Today a lot of gold is being used in electronic equipment and for a whole lot of other purposes. Gold is being used up today faster than it is being dug out.

Find everything you need to know about Madrid hotel accommodation.
This nocturnal city is famous for its nightlife, scrumptious food and festivals. A music festival, which is held yearly, is one of the events that draw young people around the world to Madrid . It also provides numerous choices of bars and clubs where anyone could drink and enjoy.
If you like spicy food, the sunshine,fiestas and are a night person....the place to head off to is Spain, I personaly love the north of Spain and it's people.
Everything is quite cheap in spain as the taxes are very low compared to the other european countries, so we gas and alcohol wise it's heaven!!lol
What's better than to work around from one tapas bar to another at 9.30 pm on a summer night before going out for a meal (at about 10 pm)
One town i realy like is Barcelona and during the winter it's christmas market is beautiful too... so much to say realy...
