http://www.lonelyplanet.com/destinations/europe/spain/culture.htm

Extractions: Spain The dominant figures of the golden age were the Toledo-based artists El Greco and Diego Vel¡zquez. Francisco Goya emerged in the 18th century as Spain's most prolific painter and he produced some wonderfully unflattering portraits of royalty. The art world in the early 20th century was influenced by a remarkable group of Spanish artists: Pablo Picasso, Juan Gris, Joan Mir³ and Salvador Dal. The guitar was invented in Andaluca in the 1790s when a sixth string was added to the Arab lute. It gained its modern shape in the 1870s. Spanish musicians have taken the humble guitar to dizzying heights of virtuosity and none more so than Andr©s Segovia (1893-1997), who established classical guitar as a genre. Flamenco, music rooted in the cante hondo (deep song) of the gitanos of Andaluca, is experiencing a revival. Paco de Lucia is the best known flamenco guitarist internationally. His friend El Camar³n de la Isla was, until his death in 1992, the leading light of contemporary canto hondo . In the 1980s flamenco-rock fusion (aka gypsy rock) was developed by the likes of Pata Negra and Ketama, and in the 1990s Radio Tarifa emerged with a mesmerising mix of flamenco, North African and medieval sounds.

Contact Us Culture in Spain Bull Running in Spain Every year from July 7th-14th thousands pack into Pamplona to start Spain's most famous bull-running fiesta to honour Navarre capital's patron saint, San Fermin. Spain stages more than 3,000 fiestas (festivals) each year but the 7 days of bull-running are the favourite in terms of spectacle and excitement. After the daybreak of July 7th, runners (mainly young men) gather at the bottom of Santo Domingo, which is the starting line. They crowd together and sing to the image of San Fermin which is placed in a niche on a wall. The song goes: "A San Fermín pedimos, por ser nuestro patrón, nos guíe en el encierro dándonos su bendición" ("We ask San Fermín, as our Patron, to guide us through the Bull Run and give us his blessing.") Then, as a rocket goes off, a number of fighting bulls are let out onto the streets. A second rocket is then let off to make sure everyone knows the bulls are loose in the street. The bulls run along the narrow street 825 metres (half a mile) to a bull ring. The runners dash along in front of the bulls, aiming to feel the breath of the bull on their backs, getting as close as possible - all whilst trying to avoid getting gored by their sharp horns.

Information on Spain Home Culture in Spain Bullfighting Bull-Running ... Contact Us Culture in Spain: La Tomatina Tomato Fight The 'Tomatina' Tomato Fight Surely the worlds' biggest food-fight: every year around 30,00 people descend on the Spanish town of Bunol (in the Valencia region of Spain) to throw more than 240,000 pounds of tomatoes at each other. The festival is started with a ham-on-a-stick contest where competitors raced up a pole to retrieve a smoked leg of ham. When the ham is cut down, people put on eye protection and cry for tomatoes as trucks dump the squishy produce onto the village streets. They then proceed to pelt each other with them until all have been used up. The festival on the last Wednesday of August is called 'the Tomatina' and is basically a town-wide tomato fight. It is thought the tradition began in 1945 when a fight erupted among two young members of a carnival crowd. A vegetable stall was nearby in the town square and every started throwing tomatoes at each other. Exactly one year later, young people met at the square, but this time with their own tomatoes. Another food-fight started but was broken up by police. In the following years this practice was banned by the authorities, but due to popular demand was given official recognition in 1959. This was only to occur if participants would respect the start and the end of tomato-throwing being announced with a banger.

Spain History & Spain Culture | IExplore
In the early part of the 20th century, Spain was in turmoil as its traditional culture and economy clashed with modern political and social forces.
http://www.iexplore.com/dmap/Spain/History

Extractions: La Alhambra Spain's history was shaped by many forces - the Celts, Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans and Germanic tribes all had a strong hand in influencing the people of the Iberian Peninsula, of which Spain is a part. Perhaps the greatest artistic and intellectual ferment in Spain, though, was under the Moors, the Islamic conquerors who crossed the Straits of Gibraltar in the early 700s and ruled the land for more than seven centuries. This period of history was characterized by a diffusion of culture between the Christian and Arab worlds, interspersed with spells of fierce fighting. Universities, unique architecture and an age of religious toleration were all fostered by many of the Islamic rulers, most notably those of the Caliphate of Cordoba in the 10th century. After a protracted struggle with Christian forces, the Moors were finally ousted in 1492. That same year, Columbus crossed the Atlantic under the Spanish flag and revealed the New World to Europe. The next century saw the apogee of Spain's power and influence throughout the world: Theirs was the first worldwide empire. In addition to their adventures far afield, Spanish kings controlled all or parts of what are now Portugal, the Netherlands, Italy and France. Imperial ambitions brought on imperial excess, however, and adventurism finally sapped the strength of Spain. The country went into a decline that saw it lose nearly all of its colonial possessions by the late 1800s.

Extractions: web site: visit School for International Training's web site by clicking here subject areas: Anthropology, Art/Fine Arts, Economics, Geography, History, Humanities, Intensive Language and Political Science/Politics description: The School for International Training's Study Abroad programs offers field-based study in over 57 countries. Students earn 16 semester credits on a 15-week experience designed to encourage a global awareness that enables people to live and act in an interdependent world. Groups of seven to 25 students are lead by one or two academic directors. Of all the cities the Moors occupied and lost in Spain, they most mourned the loss of Granada, in which they found their chief joy and delight. The magnificent Alhambra still dominates this beautiful city, which, with its intriguing old Muslim quarter and breathtaking setting in the Sierra Nevada, is an inspiring location in which to study the unique customs and diverse cultures of Andalusia. This program, designed for students with at least two full years of college-level Spanish, features language instruction with professors from the University of Granada, as well as experiential language learning through homestays, community activities, and educational excursions to some of southern Spain's most important cultural centers and attractions. As you explore this multicultural society through social and cultural activities and independent fieldwork, you gain an in-depth understanding of Spainâs extraordinary cultural contributions and enormous influence on the world.
