It is an ode about Spain. Its national Anthem has no words (line 6). It has the 2nd highest number of bars after Cyprus (line 7) and Euskera is one of the oldest living languages in the world: Spoken by the Basque population in northern spain and southern France (line 8). Spain remained neutral in both world wars (line 9). Tomatos, potatos, Avocados, Tobacco and Cacao were all imported into Europe by Spain (line 10). The pyrenes is a mountain range that divides spain and France (line 13) and it is a popular belief that modern humans first arrived in spain (line 14). Prostitutes must wear reflective dresses like highway workers to avoid accidents (lines 15 & 16). The Madrid-Barcelona conflicts both in football and in real life is one of the city pairs most popular conflicts in the world (line 17). Sunflower seeds are a big deal in Spain (line 19) and a dirty floor in a bar means a good bar (line 20).

The power of its empire’s influence once shook history from its feet the number one world olive oil producer; the home to the world’s largest tomato fight and sits at the top in organ donation. A country with a wordless national hymn housing a cloud-kissing building with no automated climber; a top seed in the accumulation of city bars and in the preservation of an ancient language. Neutrality-its stand point during the global wars and the first importer of useful vegetables to the continent. The seat being the only manifestation of its automobile hands and a member of the global leaders in the production of saffrons. Shakes hands with France through the pyrenes diffusing a myth it first accommodated the modern man. Concerned on the call girls to make them share uniform-identity with highway workers and globally popularized by conflicts of two great cities, both in sports and in everyday life. Much interest showers the sunflower seeds. A bar kept clean speaks against itself. Above all, its dynamic might lies majorly on its competitive tourism and wide spread language.
