Some "beBee places"

beBee is diversity. An organization’s success and competitiveness depends upon its ability to embrace diversity and realize the benefits. I will be adding more and more places to this article whenever my team is sending me their place of birth.

Madrid, Spain's capital, is a city of elegant boulevards and expansive, manicured parks such as the Buen Retiro.

Spain - Castilla y León

Castile and León is a region of northwestern Spain, consisting predominantly of a high plateau ringed by mountains. Salamanca is known for its 12th-century university, Renaissance churches and baroque Plaza Mayor. Segovia’s ancient Roman aqueduct has more than 160 arches, and the hilltop Alcázar castle overlooks the city. Ávila is encircled by an 11th-century fortification wall with 82 semicircular towers. Capitals: Valladolid, León, Burgos, Soria, Salamanca, Segovia, Avila, Palencia, Zamora.

Castile and León traces its history to the medieval kingdoms of Castile and León, which were permanently united under the Crown of Castile in 1301. In Spain and in some other parts of the Spanish-speaking world, Spanish is called not only español (Spanish) but also castellano (Castilian), the language from the kingdom of Castile, contrasting it with other languages spoken in Spain such as Galician (Daniel Paz speaks Galician), Basque (Julián Campos speaks Basque) and Catalan. ... the other Spanish languages. I am really proud of speaking Castellano , an universal language. I always say if you speak spanish and english, you are in a real advantage. Spanish is the 2nd most spoken language in the world (after chinese).

Top 3 spoken languages in the world

1.- Chinese: almost 1.2 billion native speakers

2.- Spanish: If we are only to look at native speakers, Spanish has its nose in front of English with about 400 million native speakers. If you want a language that will open up whole continents to you, Spanish is your best bet.

3.- English: If you’re reading this article you may be one of the 360 million native English speakers, or one of the half a billion people who speak it as a second language. This indicates the remarkable success of English as the center of business, travel and international relations. The relative ease with which English can be picked up and the power of US mean that English will continue to dominate the world stage. English is still synonymous with opportunity

It has an up market feel, but in an informal way and the beaches, whist small and with a coarse yellow sand, look very appealing.
