Spanish territory includes two archipelagos: the Balearic Islands, in the Mediterranean Sea, and the Canary Islands, in the Atlantic Ocean off the African coast. It also includes two major exclaves, Ceuta and Melilla, in continental North Africa; and the islands and peñones (rocks) of Alborán, Alhucemas, Chafarinas and Vélez de la Gomera. With an area of 505,990km2 (195,360sqmi), Spain is the second largest country in Western Europe and the European Union, and the fourth largest country in Europe. By population, Spain is the sixth largest in Europe and the fifth in the European Union.
Spain is a poem by W. H. Auden written after his visit to the Spanish Civil War and regarded by some as one of the most important literary works in English to emerge from that war. It was written and published in 1937.
Auden published two versions of the poem, first as a pamphlet Spain (1937), then, in revised form and titled "Spain 1937", in his book Another Time (1940). He later rejected the poem from his collected editions, regarding it as a "dishonest" poem that expressed political views that he never believed but which he thought would be rhetorically effective.
The poem describes the history that led up to the Spanish Civil War, then the arrival of the International Brigades at the war itself, then foresees a possible future that may result from the war.
Australian rules football is played in Europe at an amateur level in a large number of countries. The oldest and largest leagues are those in the United Kingdom, Ireland and Denmark, each nation having a number of clubs, organised junior programs and women's football. The British AFL has now dramatically expanded into the Welsh, Scottish and English leagues. The Danish AFL has been responsible for the expansion of Australian Football into Sweden, Finland, Iceland and Norway. The governing body for Australian Football in Europe was founded in Frankfurt in January 2010; the body was initially called the European Australian Football Association, but changed its name to AFL Europe at a general assembly meeting in Milan in October of the same year. It currently has 19 member nations. AFL Europe, with backing of the AFL in Australia has overseen a large improvement in the organisation of Australian football in Europe.
The sport has grown from a few clubs and leagues started mainly by expatriate Australians and returning nationals in the late 1980s and early 1990s, to now having established leagues in over 15 nations, with the majority of players being non-Australian.
Spain flash floods: Death toll rises as people remain trapped under wreckage
More than 250 people are believed to be missing in Spain as the army joined rescue efforts on Friday in the aftermath of the worst flash floods to hit the country in flash floods.
The army has deployed hundreds of soldiers to search for survivors amid the carnage of flooded towns and villages, where people are feared to still be trapped inside wrecked homes and cars.
Three days after the start of the disaster, “dozens and dozens” of people remain missing, government ministers said. Unofficial sources involved in the rescue efforts told El Español that the number of missing is likely to be as high as 250.

Spain flash floods: Dozens dead as cars pile up in Valencia
At least 51 people have died in the eastern Spanish region of Valencia region after flash floods left towns and roads under water.
Spain’s interior ministry said that it is aware of 51 deaths caused by the torrential rains, and that the death toll could rise significantly as rescue workers remain unable to access some of the devastated regions.
Carlos Mazón, Valencia’s regional president, said it remains “materially impossible” to confirm the number of dead after extremely intense rain fell on the region on Tuesday and into the night.

Rescue workers have been continuing the grim task of retrieving more bodies from the Spanish countryside following the flash flood that devastated a tourist campsite in the Pyrenees Mountains.
Grieving families have been viewing and identifying their dead relatives at an ice skating rink in a nearby town that's been transformed into a morgue.
At least 65 people are known to have died and rescue workers estimate another 20 are still missing - but the death toll keeps rising.
Rescue workers and Spanish police continue their gruesome task.
They have been searching about three to five kilometres away from the campsite and located another four bodies.
All of them were found in the mud.
But the operation hasn't finished yet.
There are still people unaccounted for so Red Cross workers will carry on with the hunt.
SOUNDBITE: (Spanish)
"Yes yes we will certainly find more bodies. The diggers are removing earth at the moment and among the earth this afternoon, right now more bodies are appearing."
SUPERCAPTION: Javier Herreros - General Director Red Cross Argon region
Working in rubber dinghies, rescue workers have also been scouring a reservoir in the town of Sabinanigo, 15 kilometers (9 miles) further down the River Gallego from the camp site.
Other workers sift through the piles of debris.
Children's sandals and bits or torn clothing can be distinguished amid the mud and rocks.
The divers found the body of a naked woman in this distant reservoir on Friday morning.
It was the eighth body dragged there by the force of the flood.
The corpses have been moved to the skiing resort town of Jaca whose ice rink was turned into a makeshift morgue.
Relatives of the dead, weeping uncontrollably tried to console each other outside the complex.
Red cross workers and doctors and grieving friends have been waiting around here to see what they can do.
SOUNDBITE: (Spanish)
Well from what we've seen here, people have been really helpful, they've really gone out of their way to help out in every sense - they've helped an awful lot the folks here.
SUPER CAPTION: Doctor
These were the scenes on Thursday and the remains of tourists shattered holidays.
One man knows how lucky he is to be alive.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"Calm. Very calm but my son shouted 'We're going to die' and I said 'No we're not son.' But watching the news today, some kids have. (fights back tears) But mine haven't. Just lucky."
SUPER CAPTION: British Camper
It will take a lot more time for all the devastation of the floods to be cleared up and a lot longer for all the bodies to be recovered.
At least 65 bodies have been found so far.
But the death toll could still rise - rescue workers say another 20 people are still missing.
Officials fear not all the corpses will ever be retrieved because they have been swept so far away.

(9 Aug 1996) Span/Eng/Nat
Rescue workers are continuing the grim task of retrieving more bodies from the Spanish countryside following the flash flood that devastated a tourist campsite in the Pyrenees Mountains.
Grieving families have been viewing and identifying their dead relatives at an ice skating rink in a nearby town that's been transformed into a morgue.
At least 65 people are known to have died and rescue workers estimate another 20 are still missing.
Rescue workers continue the grim task of retrieving more victims of the flash flood from the Spanish countryside.
Working in rubber dinghies, they have been scouring a reservoir in the town of Sabinanigo, 15 kilometers (9 miles) further down the River Gallego from the camp site.
Other workers sift through the piles of debris.
Children's sandals and bits or torn clothing can be distinguished amid the mud and rocks.
The divers found the body of a naked woman in this distant reservoir on Friday morning. It was the eighth body dragged there by the force of the flood.
Meanwhile the corpses have been moved to the skiing resort town of Jaca whose ice rink was turned into a makeshift morgue.
Relatives of the dead, weeping uncontrollably tried to console each other outside the complex.
Red cross workers and doctors and grieving friends have been waiting around here to see what they can do.
SOUNDBITE: (Spanish)
Well from what we've seen here, people have been really helpful, they've really gone out of their way to help out in every sense - they've helped an awful lot the folks here.
SUPER CAPTION: Doctor
These were the scenes on Thursday and the remains of tourists shattered holidays.
One man knows how lucky he is to be alive.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"Calm. Very calm but my son shouted 'We're going to die' and I said 'No we're not son.' But watching the news today, some kids have. (fights back tears) But mine haven't. Just lucky."
SUPER CAPTION: British Camper
It will take a lot more time for all the devastation of the floods to be cleared up and a lot longer for all the bodies to be recovered.
So far the bodies of 65 flood victims, mostly Spaniards, have been found. But the death toll could still rise - rescue workers say another 20 people are still missing.
Officials fear not all the corpses will ever be retrieved because they have been swept so far away.
