There are great, great things that came out of Spanish tradition.
It was advantageous for the French and English to promote the idea that everything out of Spain was ugly, cruel and crude because of the Inquisition and blah, blah, blah. The legend persisted for years and years -- centuries -- with this belief that all the Spanish were barbarians.
This is a fabulous part of world history that most people don't understand.
There was a migration of culture from Spain because of Franco.
