Berkeley Guide to Europe:
Spain
By Corey Nettles, Jamie Davidson, Matthew Reid, and Jessica Blatt
An exuberant liberalism characterizes the Spanish people, and the Spanish youth in particular. It is revealed in the apparent ease with which the younger generation embraces the modern, and the equanimity they display toward things that would have scandalized their parents. Though they would seem in this respect no different from youth the world over, their spirit cannot be reduced to just another attempt to define themselves by defying their parents. Rather, their fierce liberality seems a natural response to the passing of a 39-year, highly repressive fascist dictatorship; General Francisco Franco died in 1975, leaving a nation injured, but not demoralized. Franco's regime was much more than just a set of social, political, and economic arrangements; it penetrated every aspect of Spanish life from the language people spoke to their sexual morality.
