The history of Spain dates back to the Antiquity when the pre-Roman peoples of the Mediterranean coast of the Iberian Peninsula made contact with the Greeks and Phoenicians and the first writing systems known as Paleohispanic scripts were developed.

The First Settlers Arrive. Human settlers arrived in Spain’s territory 35 thousand years ago. Hispania, as Spain was initially named, was inhabited mostly by Iberian, Basques and Celts. Archeologists have been successful in finding cave paintings in Altamira that prove early human settlements.

The African exclaves of Ceuta, Melilla, and Peñón de Vélez de la Gomera make Spain the only European country to have a physical border with an African country (Morocco)….Spain.

Stretching across Africa, Asia and Europe, the route is 22,387-km-long and hypothetically stands to take 587 days to cover if you walked 8 hours daily. Ever wondered what a long, uninterrupted walk would be like?

Sicily, Italian Sicilia, island, southern Italy, the largest and one of the most densely populated islands in the Mediterranean Sea. Together with the Egadi, Lipari, Pelagie, and Panteleria islands, Sicily forms an autonomous region of Italy. It lies about 100 miles (160 km) northeast of Tunisia (northern Africa).

Two rails and two railway sidewalks. The Strait of Messina Bridge is a long-planned suspension bridge across the Strait of Messina, a narrow section of water between the eastern tip of Sicily and the southern tip of mainland Italy, specifically between north Messina’s Torre Faro and Villa San Giovanni.

Sicily, a slice of paradise. But then come the statistics. More than one in five members of the working-age population is unemployed, and almost half of all island residents are either poor or at risk of poverty. On the island, the main causes of a crisis that has gripped large parts of Italy are magnified.

In Italy, the largest part of population who live below the poverty line is located in the South….Share of households living below the poverty line in Italy in 2019, by region.

In general, Sicily is viewed as a “low-risk” destination, although problems, of course, can and do occur anywhere. You don’t need to get vaccines; foodstuffs are safe; and tap water in all cities and towns is potable.

Italy’s Most Dangerous Cities

• Milan. Northern Italy’s capital of fashion is also, sadly, its capital of theft, registering something like 7800 complaints per 100,000 residents.
• Bologna. Sadly, the university city of Bologna also scores highly when it comes to crime.
• Catania.
• Florence.
• Rome.

And please, do not burp or fart in public, it is considered extremely rude. Also, loud swearing and drinking alcohol from a bottle while walking the street, is frowned upon. Most Italians like some alcohol, but usually avoid to get drunk. Italians expect to be respected and will respect you.

Despite mafia notoriety, southern Italy is generally not a dangerous place. Be vigilant for pickpockets in crowded areas, including at train stations and ferry terminals, on buses and at markets (especially those in Naples, Palermo and Catania).

Generally, the answer is yes, Italy is indeed a safe country to visit. The nation’s violent crime rates are low these days, and global safety rankings consistently place Italy higher than both England and the United States.
