Fully updated in 2021, this resource for adolescents and adults takes an in-depth look at a wealth of different topics related to Spain, including politics, history, geography, health, artistic movements and lifestyles. Each theme is presented via a double-page spread comprising short texts and images on the left-hand page, whilst on the right-hand page there are varied activities that serve to test students' reading comprehension skills and to stimulate classroom discussion.

Answers to the exercises (with explanations) can be found at the back of the book.

Furthermore, there is a comprehensive monolingual glossary to aid understanding.
