Wales is a nation of proud people who have a distinct cultural identity.
This includes culturally rich customs, glorious music and its very own language.
Wales is known for its singing and has thus acquired its popular image of the "land of song".
Over 560,000 people who live in Wales speak the welsh language, with the majority of the population living in the north and west speaking it.
The daffodil and leek are symbols of Wales, and a fiery red dragon stands at the centre of the Welsh national flag.
