Cultural information on Spain

[Mark Zuber]

I am searching the web for some quality sites on Madrid and Barcelona.
The problem I encounter is that the sites are geared for the tourist
and not for the student. I want to use sites that are interesting but
not cluttered with information on hotel and restaurant ratings and
current entertainment.
There also seems to be a tendency to talk alot about some points of
interests and little or none about others.
I am looking for balanced sites with a fair amount of pictures and a
generous amount of information. They have to be written in English
appropriate for high school students or Spanish that is not too
difficult.

Hello, I too am searching for quality websites with cultural
information about Spain. I am a Spanish teacher in Southern Wisconsin
with 20 years of teaching experience. In that time, I too have only
seemed to encounter travel-based websites, and literally nothing more.
It would be quite exciting to be able to find a site with information
not strictly on that. I wish I could offer sites to you, but do not
know of any. I too am still searching. I will visit with my colleagues
at my foreign language conference in the Fall of this year to see if
anyone has any information regarding this.
