1)
Yes, even in areas of Spain that did not know about
the issue of cocaine as in Galicia, taking advantage
of the geographical area of the rias and that
the police were more focus on Basque region for the terrorism in that old times,
the best known is the south, Andalusia, Cadiz, the line of conception
And the illegal tobacco trafficking also through gibraltar
2)
No, the most exotic with drugs it was Amsterdam but i went with
my mother jaja
Benidorm could be considered exotic place too jaja
So, yes
My first trip with the high school
i went to Donana park natural
Animal species exist such as flamingos
3)
I think not, for example in donana exists a big house
of a rich man of nineteen century
may be in other park natural, for example in Guadalajara
it looks like the africa savannah
but in general not
In Spain was built many house at all places
and many of them are half built
may be they are rebuilding them now
