More about Spain
Culture
Well-known Spanish artists are Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dalí . As a co-founder of Cubism , Picasso had a decisive influence on modern art. With “Don Quixote de la Mancha” the writer Miguel de Cervantes created one of the most famous figures in world literature.
The Mosque of Córdoba (around 900) with its “forest of 1000 columns” and the 14th century Alhambra in Granada as the former residence of the Moorish rulers are important architectural art of the Moors. The palace and garden culture developed there was still completely unknown in the rest of Europe. The “Sagrada Família” in Barcelona, an unfinished church by Antonio Gaudi (1852-1926), is considered the high point of Spanish Art Nouveau.
Worldwide successful pop singers from Spain are Julio Iglesias (approx. 250 million records sold), his son Enrique Iglesias (approx. 180 million records sold) with »Súbeme la radio« (2017), »Duele el corazón« (2016) or » I like it “(2010) and the young Catalan singer and songwriter Rosalía with” Lo Vas A Olvidar “(2021). Flamenco, which comes from Andalusia, is also known musically. The lively songs are accompanied by guitar, dance and the typical wooden clatter of castanets.
Sociability is particularly important in everyday life for Spaniards and, above all, for young people. The bar is therefore a popular meeting place for the Spaniards. Whether in the morning for a cup of coffee, at lunchtime for tapas or at night to party, people meet up at any time of the day to meet and chat. Another, but increasingly controversial tradition is the Spanish bullfight. Here a bullfighter tries to kill the bull in the bullring. The red cloth is particularly well-known, with its rapid swiveling the bull aggressively attacks the bullfighter. Bullfights are popular in the Spanish region of Andalusia. In contrast, they are now banned in the Canary Islands because of animal cruelty, but also because of the risk of injury to the public.
The most popular Spanish public event is football. The Spanish professional league (Primera División) with the world-famous clubs and multiple Champions League winners Real Madrid and FC Barcelona is one of the strongest in the world. Both clubs have had intense rivalry on the pitch and among their fans for many decades. Their direct clash (El Clásico) is one of the most important duels in world football year after year and a worldwide sporting spectacle. Numerous top players of world football are used in the Spanish league. But the Spanish national team (Selección) is also one of the best in the world as world (2010) and multiple European champions (1964, 2008, 2012).
