I suggest we make some espionage of the persian colonies near us. I guess they are defended with only one or two spearmen. We should be able to take them quickly. After this we will wait for their knights and destroy them with swordsmen and archers until we make peace with them. Hopefully we will get the needed technologies for free.
After this we can launch an attack against Spain with berserkers and pikemen.

Ive taken a look at the last save and Oops!!
Sorry first off let me say Im new to this here demo game, and I obviously need to get up to speed with how everything works etc.
Please bear with me if I seem abrupt I do not mean to. To me after studying the last save from your most recent turnchat it is clear that the Vikings are behind!
The debate here is who to attack next, Spain or Persia! I would have said Persia without doubt, as they have cities on what is in reality your land. Sorry our land, got to remeber Im a Viking too  if youll have me that is 
I even have some startegies that I think would work well for an assault on mainland Persia, But!! there is a very juicy target sitting very close to our lands. Madrid!! and the Great Lighthouse!!
I believe that if alliances can be arranged at the optimun moment! we could with enough force, storm Madrid and capture this prize, and from the map it seems it would be quite possible to defend.
Their cities are sprawled out on some very stringy landforms with plenty of 1 tile links. Their culture is far lower than Persia or Egypt, thus far less risk of flips. But dont forget that if you nick there capitol there culture will take a right big knock, making them even more susceptable to the Viking doctrine
I may be wrong as I have not scrutinised the save with a fine tooth comb but of the three civs you have contact with Spain are the weaker neighbours and ripe for the picking.
Let Persia wait until you are more powerful, and until you have your beserkers on line. Which is some way off.
If we can grab The Lighthouse then a couple of explorers should set out to find more civs to trade with and hopefully aquire some more techs, or alternatively open embassies and steal the tech instead Of course this requires cash and to get more cash we need more cities, Spanish cities
from the top 5 cities screen and the wonders screen it looks as though some of the as yet undiscovered civs are even more developed than your imediate neighbours, so the chances of finding a weaker chicken to pluck than Spain are quite remote, and they are right next door!!

Welcome Chrisius! Thanks for the post, you've just saved me posting all my reasons why I thought Spain should be our first target. I had this opinion last I saw the game, when I was President back in term II (or was it III, or both?), so I am not fully up to date.
However, something no-one has touched upon - the Persians have Immortals! Nasty, evil, spiky Immortals! They will have their GA too, inevitably. Although Persia is the closest and likeliest target, they will be the hardest too. Spain may be the easier of the three (no UU, no GA), but just a little further off. Keep these things in mind. I cannot say further until I get home to NZ and can check the save (17 hours to go!)

let attack persia as fast as possible.
We should take their cities in one blow and after this destroy the landing troops. Our sowrdsmen should be enough to keep the shores clear without leaving persians troops to attack us.
