it will take quite a lot of time, but the second to last tower is already finished, the Tower of Jesus Christ.
This is a great achievement, and maybe that's why some people think that it's already finished, but it's not.
I saw a story of the lowering of that last tower and someone said that was it, it was done.
And I'm going to guess that Spain probably never finishes it because it's a good story that it's never, ever finished.
Of course, Spain has amazing beach life, Costa del Sol, all those wonderful things, nature as well.
But we are here today to talk about not those other things, but we're going to focus in on the culinary and the celestial.
So Spain is well known, rightly so, for its cuisine, which we'll get into, but also upcoming in 2026 and 2021.
