Spanish Cities: Segundo trabajo de investigacion

Introduction

Spain is a country that offers many interesting aspects. One of these aspects is its cities due to constitute an exceptional stage which we can know the different cultural influences that Spain has received along of the history, as well as some historical episodes of greater importance. Also across the cities we can know the life’s way, the social relations and political questions that characterize nowadays the Spanish society. For this, we suggest to learn some theories and sociological concepts that should allow us to bring us over of a more systematic form to the notion of city. Likewise, the classes will be illustrated with examples of some of most known Spanish cities.
