A to Z of Spanish Culture (2nd edition), The: Beyond toros and flamenco

Note: this edition of The A to Z of Spanish Culture doesn't cover events beyond 2014.

The A to Z of Spanish Culture reflects Spain as seen through the eyes of its author: a Spaniard who grew up in Madrid in the 80's and now keeps a close eye on the country from her London home.

Written in an informal style, each chapter addresses an aspect of Spanish culture: its society, traditions, history, gastronomy, art and language.

From grape-eating on New Year's Eve to the re-enactment of 13th century battles; from the failed military coup in the 80's to the recent fall from grace of the King; from the origin of the fideúa (the pasta-based version of paella) to the origin of the popular tapas, The A to Z of Spanish Culture will get you closer to Spain today. This audiobook is narrated by the author, Pilar Orti, who also hosts the podcast Spain Uncovered. (Please note that this audiobook does not contain the chapters Vocabulary, From the Horses' Mouths and Blogs, Books and Bites, which can be found in the Kindle and print versions.)

This book has proved popular with schools and universities offering course on Spanish Culture - it's a swift introduction to a range of topics.
