Bullfights are the national sport :D and Flamengo is their more traditional music and dance. Beware that spain is a big country with diferent regions, so their culture changes a little depending on the region, as their dialect also.
Hope it helped

As Para mentioned above, you have to be a bit careful - Flamenco is 'traditional' in the South, as is Bullfighting, for the most part, but in the North they view them as quaint olde worlde things (much like the English view tartan and shortbread in Scotland).
If you can, try and catch the last couple of episodes of 'the art of Spain' on the BBC (they have episode 6 on iPlayer now).
From my perspective, overriding Spanish visual themes include colourful Picasso/Miro handpainted forms, cork trees (olives, or anything that harks to traditional foods, lifestyles or artisanship, like wrought iron signs). If I was to think of a minimal contemporary visual reference, I'd choose something like Calatrava - sweeping white lines against blue (with a big orange solar blob in the background for enforcement :), that sort of thing.
I'm popping back in a couple of weeks time, so if you'd like me to keep my eye out for things (because, now that I think on't, my mind goes blank), drop us a line.

I can only think of one word if you were to use QBN Public Voice as a research point. Doom.
Take your bum down to the library, get a few penpals, go there, do something... something more!
- Aye, that helps. I hope you feel better about yourself. Well done.detritus

Transit, I have listened to many people give out advice, opinions and help on here, I've even chipped in myself when I feel I can help, and I personally rate the help I have received, I believe I have been around long enough to have gained some sort of respect and when I do ask... I know people will take me seriously or know that I am being genuinely serious!
