The capital city Madrid is home to the Royal Palace and the Museo Nacional del Prado which has painting from famous European artists such as Raphael and Rembrandt. Segovia has a medieval castle and an intact Roman aqueduct. Catalonia’s capital, Barcelona is on the coast but doesn’t actually have any natural beaches, they’re all artificial and were made in 1992 when they hosted Olympic games. **Facts about Spain** - The capital city is Madrid. - The king is Felipe VI. - The dialling Code is +34. - The population is 46.9millon - The first modern novel is Spanish and it is called Don Quixote of La Mancha - Around 406 million people in the world speak Spanish. - In Spain many different languages are spoken. - The highest Spanish mountain is Mulhacén - It is UNESCO's third largest heritage country. - The Spanish invented the beret and hot chocolate - Christmas is very special in Spain and on the 6th January they celebrate el Día de los Tres Reyes Magos (three kings day) **Olympic Gymnast Project** I have a passion for gymnastics and have competed in competitions where I have won gold medals. Last year I was supposed to be going to America to compete in the World Gymnastics Championship in America but it was cancelled because of Corona virus. Hopefully I will be going next year. I would love to compete in the Olympics one day. I lived in Spain when I was little so I thought it would be fun to design a new leotard for the Spanish team using their flag as inspiration. Below is a picture of my design for the Spanish gymnast team. I have used the red and yellow from the flag and added some sparkle to it too! ![](https://west-lancashire-sports-partnership.schudio.com/images/Spain_-_blog.png) Blog by Amelia from St Thomas the Martyr [ Isabella and Oscar’s Sports Blog - China ](https://west-lancashire-sports-partnership.schudio.com/blog/2021-05-06-15-07-29-isabella-and-oscar-s-sports-blog-china) [ Hannah's Sports Blog - Madagascar ](https://west-lancashire-sports-partnership.schudio.com/blog/2021-05-06-15-48-37-hannah-s-sports-blog-madagascar) ### About us - [About Us](https://west-lancashire-sports-partnership.schudio.com/about-us) - [Meet the team](https://west-lancashire-sports-partnership.schudio.com/about-us/meet-the-team) - [News](https://west-lancashire-sports-partnership.schudio.com/news) - [Blogs](https://west-lancashire-sports-partnership.schudio.com/blog) - [Contact Us](https://west-lancashire-sports-partnership.schudio.com/contact) - [Join Our Team ](https://west-lancashire-sports-partnership.schudio.com/join-our-team) ### Twitter [Tweets by WestLancsSP](https://twitter.com/WestLancsSP?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) ### [Latest News](https://west-lancashire-sports-partnership.schudio.com/news) [![Image of Learn to Ride](https://files.schudio.com/west-lancashire-sports-partnership/imagecache/150x150c/news/Learn_to_ride_banner.jpg)](https://west-lancashire-sports-partnership.schudio.com/news/2026-03-25-learn-to-ride) #### [Learn to Ride](https://west-lancashire-sports-partnership.schudio.com/news/2026-03-25-learn-to-ride) 25 March 2026 [![Image of Secondary Panathlon Tenpin bowling challenge](https://files.schudio.com/west-lancashire-sports-partnership/imagecache/150x150c/news/IMG_8782.jpg)](https://west-lancashire-sports-partnership.schudio.com/news/2023-12-13-secondary-panathlon-tenpin-bowling-challenge) #### [Secondary Panathlon Tenpin bowling challenge](https://west-lancashire-sports-partnership.schudio.com/news/2023-12-13-secondary-panathlon-tenpin-bowling-challenge) 13 December 2023 [![Image of DIVINE DAYS CELEBRATION AWARDS ](https://files.schudio.com/west-lancashire-sports-partnership/imagecache/150x150c/news/400744207_731399732363019_4536266751779622513_n.jpg)](https://west-lancashire-sports-partnership.schudio.com/news/2023-11-14-divine-days-celebration-awards) #### [DIVINE DAYS CELEBRATION AWARDS ](https://west-lancashire-sports-partnership.schudio.com/news/2023-11-14-divine-days-celebration-awards) 14 November 2023 ### Contact Us **West Lancashire Sport Partnership** BURSCOUGH PRIORY ACADEMY TREVOR ROAD BURSCOUGH, ORMSKIRK LANCS L40 7RZ Tel: 01704 377 982 - [Join Our Team ](https://west-lancashire-sports-partnership.schudio.com/join-our-team) - [Contact Form](https://west-lancashire-sports-partnership.schudio.com/contact) - [Holiday Camps](https://west-lancashire-sports-partnership.schudio.com/endeavour-community/holiday-camps/endeavour-camp) - [Calendar](https://west-lancashire-sports-partnership.schudio.com/what-s-on) - [School Hire](https://west-lancashire-sports-partnership.schudio.com/endeavour-community) - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/westlancssp/) - [X](https://twitter.com/WestLancsSP) - [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJ5mr7vJLbvR98VTdK9KBUw) - [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/westlancssp) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/westlancssp/) © Copyright 2021–2026 West Lancashire Sport Partnership School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://west-lancashire-sports-partnership.schudio.com/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
