Abstract
The purpose of this thesis was to further explore the cultural diversity between the United States and Spain. Through personal experience and independent research I have created a bilingual multimedia website that explores Spain's culture and traditions through their popular alcoholic drinks. The website also explains the differences between Spain's drinking culture and the United State's drink culture. Four interviews were conducted, one with a Spanish proprietor of a bar in Central Spain, one with a Ball State Spanish professor who also teaches classes in Central Spain, one with a Ball State student who was raised in Eastern Spain, and one from a professor who lives and teaches in Northern Spain. The website is composed ofthree print articles, three videos, two interactive graphics, and various pictures that all come together to portray the cultural pieces of Spain.
