Analysis of multimedia special on ¨Getting to know Spain¨
As you surf the web, you encounter many types of pages which help you see things in different ways. With good help from different types of multimedia, the expression of the information being presented can be quite varied. Sometimes you can find slideshows of pictures resuming a baseball game, or a video of the latest speach the president has given. Today I have come accross a website which helps you get to know about spain in a very efficient and easy way, whilst remaing on one site. This site is an excellent example of how to use various types of multimedia in one page.

The videos range in between 2 and 30 minutes.
