Is this an accurate description of Spain?

I know its quite long, read what you can and tell me if im wrong about anything, any of the facts or anything..

Spain is a country located in southwestern Europe. Spain is the world's 51st-largest country and its mainland is bordered to the south and east by the Mediterranean Sea. Mainland Spain is dominated by high plateaus and mountain ranges, such as the Sierra Nevada. Spanish territory also includes the Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean, the Canary Islands in the Atlantic Ocean off the African coast, and two autonomous cities in North Africa, Ceuta and Melilla, that border Morocco. Madrid is the capital and largest city of Spain, with a population of 5,883,521. Spain is the second largest country in Western Europe after France. It is a developed country with the eighth largest economy in the world based on nominal GDP. The currency of Spain is the Euro. According to the World Bank, Spain's economy is the eighth largest worldwide and the fifth largest in Europe.
The unification of the kingdoms of Aragon and Castile laid the basis for modern Spain and the Spanish Empire. Spain was Europe's leading power throughout the 16th century and most of the 17th century. A position reinforced by trade and wealth from colonial possessions. Spain is quite famous for its three year civil war, from 1936 to 1939.
Spain aims to put 1 million electric cars on the road by 2014 as part of the government’s plan to save energy and boost energy efficiency. Right now Subways are a very common way of traveling as well as cars and bikes. Public schools in Spain are often Catholic parochial schools supported by the state. Common jobs in Spain are hotel occupations, catering and working in wineries. About 76% of Spaniards identify themselves as Catholics.
Spain is known for its culturally diverse heritage, having been influenced by many nations and peoples throughout its history. Spanish art is an important and influential type of art in Europe. Spanish cuisine consists of a great variety of dishes which stem from differences in geography, culture and climate. It is heavily influenced by seafood available from the waters that surround the country, and reflects the country's deep Mediterranean roots. Sport in Spain has been dominated by football (soccer) since the early 20th century.
The city of Barcelona is the second largest of Spain and it is consisted the best city in the world. Barcelona is now the European city of the Peace and Design. A tourist attraction in Barcelona is a Giant Temple designed by the master architect Antonio Gaudi. A museum in Barcelona has arranged Picasso's paintings in chronological order from his early days to his final works.
Spain has been the second most visited country of the world after France. Spain's tourism spending annually is over $46 Billion. Running with the bulls in Pamplona at Fiestas de San Fermin is one of the most talked about tourist attractions. Spain is the second most mountainous country of Europe. It is full of high mountains and good ski resorts, with famous ski slopes all over Spain.

It's ok, but you did not mention a word about Catalonia, and Barcelona is the capital of Catalonia. Like the Basques, we Catalans have a different languange, traditions and wide autonomy and most of us consider ourselves only Catalan or Catalan before Spanish.

A descripion of Barcelona without mentioning that it is Catalonia is be like a report on Montreal without the word Quebec or about Edinburgh without the word Scotland.

You wrote: "Public schools in Spain are often Catholic parochial schools supported by the state". Pls remove it because this is 100% wrong. Parochial schools are only private!!!

As a curiosity: Spain is one of the few countries in the world whey gay marriages are legal.

Apart from Spanish, there are other languages spoken in Spain which are also official (together with Spanish) in the regions where they are spoken: Catalan, Basque and Galician.

Talking of fish & football, you failed to mention that Málaga football club are known as the "Boquerones".
You also failed to mention sherry. Sherry is one of Spain's biggest exports. It comes from an area close to Jerez de la Frontera. In fact if it doesn't come from there, then it cannot be called sherry.

Quite accurate, though a lot of Spain has many agricultural jobs, only the cities and coastal areas rely on tourism.
