Question

Why does the the rain in spain fall mainly on the plain?

Answer 1

We are up in the hills and it is throwing down with rain at present

Can't help with the plain bit but I think that it is an "old wives tale"

Answer 2

The rain in spain stays mainly in the plains. Speaking out the sentence aloud would help you practise the  recurring vowel sound.You should read G B Shaw's Pygmalion , or better see the movie My Fair Lady.

Answer 3

Because it rhymes in English; in Spanish we say "La lluvia en Sevilla es una pura maravilla"... and it rhymes in Spanish. That´s all.

Answer 4

Right now I am in Spain and it is raining! The rain falls mainly on the plain because Castille, the central part is almost flat. The fact that it hardly rains in the mountain areas is true, the rain MAINLY sticks to flat areas. Yes, it is a rhyme from My Fair Lady but it also a fact that it MAINLY falls on the plains of Castille.
