The Japanese greatly honor tradition, yet the country also has a unique ability to adapt to changing times.

The Iberian Peninsula is very unique relative to other areas of Western Europe. This is due to it being located on the European continent, but also being controlled by the Islamic Moors and settled by a great number of Jews during the middle ages. Spanish architecture with its courtyards, red tile roofs, and geometric designs, reflect this blending of cultures. Even the Spanish language is affected by these cultures. About 30% of all Spanish words are of Arabic origin.
