Since the beginning of the sixties, Spain is known as a holiday destination but also as an important part of the economy. It is an important agricultural product within Europe. After all, we all know the country because of their delicious citrus fruits, olives and olive oil, nuts and grapes?
The country is one of the most affected countries by the economic crisis. Unemployment is the highest in the EU (2017) except for Greece. This is mainly due to the collapse of the Spanish housing market. It is expected that Spain will need years to get out of the economic crisis, which is longer than most other member states of the European Union.
