Spain: Did You Know?
On La Gomera, one of the Canary Islands, some residents speak an ancient whistling language called Silbo Gomero.
Though Spain is known for bullfighting, the sport is illegal in the Canary Islands.
The Spanish national anthem has no official lyrics.
Instead of the tooth fairy, Spanish children put their teeth under their pillows at night and wait for Ratoncito Perez, the tooth mouse, to come and exchange them for coins.
