Since its earliest days as a land of ancient Iberian tribes, Spain has had an eventful and undeniably multi-cultural history. The Spanish history course at Enforex Salamanca pays special attention to the days of Spain's Roman, Arabic and Jewish civilizations and their impact on today's Spanish culture and subsequent history.

Continuing along the trajectory of Spanish history, you will then study the impact of the unification of Spain during the reign of the Catholic Kings, follow Columbus' voyage to the New World and examine the history of the Hapsburg and Bourbon dynasties in some detail.

This Enforex course also reflects on the connection between the history of Spain or of a selected Spanish region - such as Castilla y León - and its distinct geography, customs, festivals, folklore, gastronomy, cinema, politics and much more. If you are interested in understanding the full panorama of Spain's history from its budding days right up through present times, then this is the course for you.
