Speak the Culture: Spain: Be Fluent in Spanish Life and Culture

Spain is changing rapidly.

The traditional props of daily life, the

Church and the family, evolve under

in 700 years, the nation deals with a large

immigrant population. Meanwhile, Spain

revels in its democratisation, calling

on a long-held lust for life to celebrate

everything from sausages to the Passion.
