INTRODUCTION OF SPAIN (ADEMARK)


Spain is the second-largest nation in Europe, after France. It is a land of contrasts and
extremes. Its terrain includes Mediterranean beaches, snow-capped Pyrenees Mountains, dry
plains, coastal rice paddies, volcanic islands, and rolling hills. Its people have strong regional
identities forged by this diverse geography and by the events of their history.

Spain comprises approximately four-fifths of the Iberian peninsula (with Portugal


accounting for the remainder). Spain also includes the Canary Islands in the Atlantic Ocean
and the Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean Sea. Altogether, its total area is slightly less
than the combined areas of the states of Utah and Nevada. Spain's average elevation is the
second-highest in Europe after Switzerland. Three-fifths of the Spanish mainland is a broad
plateau, called the Meseta  , located in the center of the country.

A Romance language spoken in Spain and in much of Central and South America
(except Brazil) and several other countries. It is the second most widely spoken first language
in the world, with more than 400 million speakers.

Spain has a population of some 40 million people, with a much lower population
density than most other European countries. Geographic barriers have helped preserve a keen
sense of identity in all six of Spain's major ethnic groups. The Castilians, who live in the
central Meseta, are the nation's dominant group, and Castilian Spanish is Spain's national
language. The other groups are the Galicians, Basques, Catalans, Levante, and Andalusians.

Spain (Spanish: España [esˈpaɲa] ( listen)), officially the Kingdom of Spain (Spanish:
Reino de España), is a country in South-western Europe with some pockets of Spanish

territory across the Strait of Gibraltar and the Atlantic Ocean. Its continental European
territory is situated on the Iberian Peninsula.
HISTORY (JHONA)
Most of the Iberian Peninsula has been populated since prehistoric times. Early
evidence of human habitation unearthed at the Atapuerca site in northern Spain are some
800,000 years old. Modern man made his appearance around 35,000 BC. Sometime around
4000 BC, much of Spain was settled by the Iberians, arriving from the east. The Celts arrived
later, settling in the northern third of the peninsula. Bronze age civilization flourished in the
south, culminating with the Tartessian civilization around Seville (1000-500 BC).
Around 1100 BC, Phoenician seafarers from present-day Lebanon set up trading
colonies in Cadiz and elsewhere along the Spanish coast. Greeks also traded along the north-
eastern coast. With the fall of Phoenicia, the Iberian Peninsula came under the rule of
Carthage (present day Tunisia), but was occupied by Rome following the Punic Wars. The
Romans held sway in Iberia for six centuries, laying the foundations for Spanish language
and culture.
Following the fall of the western Roman empire in the fifth century AD, Spain was
ruled by the Visigoths, a Germanic people who had migrated from central Europe. In 711, the
Muslims of northern Africa launched an invasion across the Strait of Gibraltar, occupying
most of the peninsula within a few years. Their presence lasted more than seven centuries,
though the Christian kingdoms to the north increased in power over the generations,
gradually driving the Moors southwards. The last Moorish kingdom, Granada (the eastern
half of present-day Andalusia), was conquered in 1492.
The discovery of the New World by Christopher Columbus and the expulsion of Jews
and Moors from Spain were to mark Spanish history forever. Treasure from Spain's vast
overseas empire pushed Spain into the forefront of European countries, but constant warfare
drained resources. With the accession of the Bourbon dynasty to the Spanish throne at the
beginning of the 18th century, Spain came within the French sphere of influence for the
following 100 years, up to the defeat of Napoleon's army during the Peninsular War.
During the 19th century, Spain was sharply divided between conservatives and
liberals, and rural and urban society. Coups d'etat and changes of government were frequent.
With the increasing power of the working class, in 1931 king Alfonso XIII was forced to
abdicate, and Spain was declared a republic. Conservative reaction from the church and army
sparked the Spanish Civil War, which raged from 1936 to 1939 and was a prelude to World
War II. When Franco finally died in 1975, Spain was taken over by King Juan Carlos I, who
soon led Spain toward democracy. As a fruit of its new freedoms, the country celebrated a
cultural renaissance in the 1980s and 1990s, and in 1992 hosted both the Summer Olympics
in Barcelona and the Expo '92 in Sevilla.

CULTURE (HERSHEL)
Spain, country located in extreme southwestern Europe. It occupies about 85 percent
of the Iberian Peninsula, which it shares with its smaller neighbor Portugal.Spain is a storied
country of stone castles, snowcapped mountains, vast monuments, and sophisticated cities, all
of which have made it a favoured travel destination. The country is geographically and
culturally diverse. Its heartland is the Meseta, a broad central plateau half a mile above sea
level. Much of the region is traditionally given over to cattle ranching and grain production; it
was in this rural setting that Miguel de Cervantes’s Don Quixote tilted at the tall windmills
that still dot the landscape in several places.
In Spanish culture, people live life to the fullest. But, not in a hurried way. Instead,
Spaniards tend to take their time, deliberately, to appreciate the world and people around
them. In Spain, people savor long, multi-course meals and wander vivacious villages and
charming cities.Whether it’s the middle of the day or night, Spain is home to a vibrant street
culture. Imagine neighbors strolling around their blocks, older people playing checkers on the
sidewalks, and teenagers hanging out in plazas. And, with such abundant art, architecture,
literature, cuisine, history, and more to explore, there’s a wealth of cultural experiences to
enjoy.
Family Dynamic
Like anywhere in the world, all families in Spain are different. But, they’re usually
warm, welcoming, and tight-knit. Many families eat both lunch and dinner together.
Communal meals and other gatherings tend to become lively, and even a bit noisy, as
Spaniards do tend to speak somewhat loudly in larger groups. Family roles are modernizing
in Spain, as they are around the world, and more and more women have jobs outside the
home; but traditionally, the mother manages the household while the father works outside the
home. The average Spanish family has two children. Extended family members visit each
other often, especially for large weekend gatherings. In cities, families typically live in flats.
Outside of cities and especially in small villages, families tend to live in houses with a small
garden. It’s not uncommon for people in their twenties or thirties to live at home until they
get married.
Teenage Life
Spanish schools focus primarily on academics. After school, Spanish teens often
attend lectures, concerts and sporting events. Fútbol (soccer) is the most popular sport, with
fans passionately dedicated to the national team, La Roja (The Red One). Cycling and
basketball also take up a lot of teens’ free time. On weekends, teenagers go to parties,
movies, and hang out in cafés or the local town square. Perhaps because of the climate and
long daylight hours, Spaniards begin socializing later in the day and end later at night than
their European neighbors.

Spanish Greetings
Greetings and introductions are a fundamental particularity of Spanish culture.
Acquaintances say “hi” to each other the first time with a handshake and keep it simple. If
you’ve met the person a few times already, the handshake will be warmer and may come with
a pat on the shoulder. More familiarity with a person comes with a hug or with a double kiss
on the cheek. The double kiss on the cheek is the signature of Spain, Latin America took this
part of Spanish culture and made its own. In many Latin American Spanish-speaking
countries, people greet each other with one kiss on the cheek. Most people will introduce
themselves using only their first names. Each person has typically two first names and one
last name they use. Older adults are introduced with the prefixes Don and Doña (Mr. & Mrs),
to show them more respect and formality.
Religion
Religion is an essential element of Spanish culture. Almost every Spanish city has
Catholic churches and Cathedrals. The predominant religion in Spain is Catholicism. The
second largest religion of Spain is Islam due to recent arrivals of African and Middle Eastern
refugees. There is also a large portion of Atheists and a small percentage of Jewish people.
Nevertheless, religious holidays and traditions are quite popular with all the majority of
people in the region. Las procesiones (processions) are a prominent tradition of Spain that
dates back to the 16 century. They are organized marches similar to parades that are a
manifestation of faith and commemoration of religious happenings. Processions are such an
important part of Spanish culture, the tradition was taken to Latin America and became
highly popular in countries like Guatemala.
Celebrations and Festivals
Spain’s rich history comes with prominent celebrations and traditions. Semana Santa
(Holy Week) is one of the largest celebrations. It’s known for having processions that
commemorate the Passion of Christ. El Día de Reyes Magos (Day of the Three Kings) is
widely celebrated across the country and is a favorite holiday for children. They receive gifts
and there’s colorful parades in the cities where they celebrate their long awaited arrival.
Spanish “fiestas” (festivals) are large celebrations and carnivals devoted to a specific Saint or
City. These fiestas have traditional foods, fireworks, dancing, handmade decorations,
parades, concerts, and theater. Other traditions like the running of the bulls of San Fermín in
Pamplona, and the tomato fights of la Tomatina are experiences that draw millions of people
and tourists to celebrate Spanish culture.
Spanish Music and Dance
Spanish culture is known for having well-known musical melodies and rhythms.
Spain has produced incredibly talented songwriters and artists like Plácido Domingo, Enrique
and Julio Iglesias, Paco de Lucía, Alejandro Sanz, and Rosalía. Spanish music genres vary
according to region. Flamenco, Rumba Catalana, and Bolero are accompanied by string
musical instruments and powerful dance. Modern and classical artists often mix Flamenco

and other traditional Spanish music with modern beats. Roman and Celtic influence is
evident in the varied styles of Spanish music and dancing. Flamenco is a signature dance
often associated with Spain’s image.

Here’s a list of other popular Spanish dances:


• Sardana from Catalonia
• Muiñeira from Galicia
• Fandango
• Zambra from Andalusia
• Jota from Valencia
• Sevillana from Seville
Sports
El fútbol (soccer) is the highest-grossing sport in Spain. Spain’s official soccer team
won the 2010 FIFA World Cup. La Liga Española (Spanish league) has some of the best
performing teams in the world. Soccer clubs like Barcelona and Real Madrid, have the best
names and superstars. Literally, the whole country gets paralized when these two teams face
each other in El Clásico. The country is also known for other groundbreaking athletes and
champions. Tennis player Rafael Nadal and Formula 1 champion Fernando Alonso, set high
standards for their competitors around the world. What’s more, soccer and tennis aren’t the
only sports the Spanish excel on. You’ll find that several types of sports like basketball, water
polo, and surfing; are enjoyed throughout Spain.
Traditional Food
Food is a strong foundation of Spanish culture. The blend of Arab, Roman, Jewish,
and Mediterranean cuisine uses top ingredients and flavors. Spain produces large quantities
of high-quality olive oil and wine. Predominant ingredients of Spanish gastronomy include
garlic, tomato, pepper, potatoes, beans, and curated meats. Spanish people enjoy a style of
appetizer and snack known as tapas. Las tapas are usually a mix of small preparations like
cold cuts, cheeses, croquetas (croquettes), calamares (squid), and more. Savory food and
flavors also make Spain the home of world-class chefs, elite cooking schools, and top-rated
Michelin Star restaurants.
Here’s a list of representative dishes of Spanish culture and traditions:
• Fideuá – a seafood paella styled plate with noodles instead of rice
• Jamón – curated ham from the Iberian Peninsula.
• Fabada – a type of bean stew

FAMOUS LITERATURE (SHIELA)


Six Spanish Literature Classics
1. "Don Quixote" — Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra
There’s no better place to start your journey into classic Spanish literature than with "Don
Quixote." Published in two volumes in 1605 and 1615, many consider it one of the greatest
novels ever written and the first modern novel. In it, Don Quixote reads too many romance
novels and loses his mind (hey, we’ve all been there), prompting him to set out on a grand,
albeit ill-informed, adventure to bring justice back to a world filled with wrongdoings and
evil.
2. "El amor en los tiempos del cólera" — Gabriel García Márquez
You may better know this one by it’s English title, "Love in the Time of Cholera." Although
this love story was published in 1985, it takes place nearly a century earlier, in a port city
near the Caribbean Sea. Buckle in for a love story that spans the lifetime of its main
characters, following them through love gained, love lost, and love found again.
3. "Ficciones" — Jorge Luis Borges
This collection of short stories is the perfect introduction to one of Argentina’s most famous
literary figures. First published in 1941, the final collection contains seventeen stories that
take the reader into a labyrinth world of great imagination, intelligence, and skepticism.
4. "La vida es sueño" — Pedro Calderón de la barca
Mix things up and try your hand at reading a Spanish-language play. La vida es sueño ["Life
is a Dream"] is a drama of the Spanish Golden Age and plays with themes of free will versus
fate, dreams versus reality, and the conflict between father and son. The story centers around
a father’s prophecy that his son, the Prince of Poland, will wreak havoc on the country, and
his decision to lock his son away in a tower to prevent it. By the end of the play, you’ll be
questioning what’s a dream and what’s real — is life a dream after all?
5. "La ciudad y los perros" — Mario Vargas Llosa
More widely known in English as "The Time of the Hero," Llosa’s first novel brought him
immediate fame. The story is a sharp satire and criticism of the Peruvian military as an
institution, something that Llosa experienced as a cadet in military school. The book enraged
leaders at the school so much that they publicly burned over a thousand copies and tried to
condemn it as propaganda against Peru.

6. "El Lazarillo de Tormes" — Anonymous


Actually, the full title of this novella is far longer than that — it’s formal name is La vida de
Lazarillo de Tormes y de sus fortunas y adversidades ["The Life of Lazarillo de Tormes and
his Fortunes and Adversities"]. This novella was published in 1554 by an author who chose
to remain anonymous since the themes went against popular beliefs at the time. In fact, this
novel is thought to have spurred an entire genre of Spanish literature: the picaresque novel.
Telling the stories of a pícaro [rascal; of low social class] getting by on his wits and going off
on adventures (think Huck Finn), this genre is meant to amuse readers rather than convey
moral meaning.

COLORS (MARIZTELLA)
The Spanish Color Wheel Chart. El círculo cromático (Spanish color wheel) shows
the colors organized into a cohesive, interconnected structure that is ideal for studying colors
in Spanish. The Spanish color wheel shows how 11 different colors and shades relate to each
other. El circulo cromático serves as a Spanish color chart whose base comprises six basic
colors.
• Morado (purple) • Amarillo (yellow)
• Rojo (red) • Verde (green)

• Azul cian (cyan blue) • Azul oscuro (dark blue)

The Spanish color wheel is divided into colores cálidos y colores fríos (warm colors
and cold colors). This type of Spanish color chart also serves as a guide for visual arts experts
and graphic designers. It reflects the harmony and contrast between different shades of
colors. A Spanish color chart is of great use in marketing, for visual merchandising experts,
decorators, event coordinators, fashion designers, and more.
Classifying the Colors in Spanish
Warm Colors in Spanish (Colores cálidos)
This first group of colors in the Spanish color wheel is associated with feelings of
warmth and fire. They communicate energy and movement. Some examples of these are
rosado (pink) and amarillo (yellow).
Cold Colors in Spanish (Colores fríos)
Los colores fríos from the Spanish color wheel are associated with feelings of calm
and natural surroundings. El verde (green) and tonos de azules (shades of blue) are the main
ones in this group.
Primary Colors in Spanish (Colores primarios)
All colors appear from the primary colors as base. The translation in Spanish is los
colores primarios. The three primary colors are azul (blue), amarillo (yellow), and rojo (red).
Secondary Colors in Spanish (Colores secundarios)
Los colores secundarios are those color shades that come from combining two equal
parts of two of the primary colors. The three secondary colors in Spanish and their respective
combinations are:
• azul (blue) + rojo (red) = morado (purple)
• amarillo (yellow) + rojo = naranja or anaranjado (orange)
• amarillo + azul = verde (green)
Rainbow Colors in Spanish (Colores del arcoiris)
El arcoiris (rainbow) is a beautiful phenomenon like no other. It takes place when
sunlight goes through the water in the Earth’s atmosphere and gives rise to the appearance of
a spectrum of light frequencies where different colors are formed.
These are the rainbow colors in Spanish.
• Rojo (red) • Amarillo (yellow) • Azul (blue)
• Naranja (orange) • Verde (green) • Índigo (indigo)
