And if we already mentioned about its castles, we also tell you that in Wales you can find the Britain's smallest cathedral. It is St. Asaph, located north of the small country of the United Kingdom, precisely in Clwyd.

Another interesting fact that shows us the history of Wales is that until 1960 you couldn't sell liquor on Sundays. Curious, but true. This law, enacted in 1881, remained in effect until a few decades ago.

Let's talk about the symbols of Wales. One of the most emblematic flowers of the place are the daffodils, some very beautiful spring plants as well as the herbs of the leeks, which have very beneficial nutrient properties for health.

Finally let us tell you about the curious Wales flag, which is represented by the "Ddraig Goch" or Red Dragon. Why a dragon? Well, according to the myths and legends about the mythical Magician Merlin and the vigilante King Arthur, they commented that their troops were under the command of this mythological animal. But the Dragon Flag is not the only one that is used ... In case you did not know, we tell you that there is an alternative that is Flag of Saint David or Saint David, (the patron saint of Wales who lived a hundred years), which in 2002 was incorporated as the logo of the Cardiff Football Team.
