Overview

The Welsh culture is one of the oldest in Europe, rich in folklore, tradition, and national pride, with its roots firmly tracing back to the Celtic times. Wales, known as the 'land of song', stands testament to a vibrant and dynamic music scene where song and harp are considered integral to Welsh life. The national Welsh Eisteddfod, an annual festival of literature, music, and performance highlights the Welsh love for arts and literature.

The Welsh language, Cymraeg, one of the oldest living languages in Europe, is a significant part of their culture, with almost a quarter of the population conversing in it. Education in Wales is bilingual, reinforcing the prevalence and preservation of the language.

Rugby is almost a religion in Wales, with the Six Nations Championship being one of the most anticipated sports events. The Welsh are also known for their love for their national emblem, the leek, and their national flower, the daffodil.

The cultural identity in Wales is strongly marked by legends and mythology, with tales of King Arthur and the red dragon featuring prominently. Amidst modernization, the Welsh culture succeeds in preserving its distinctive identity, harking back to its celtic roots while balancing the contemporary.
